Guys,
I've noticed how I don't frequently update my stories. It's been a few months since I've posted a chapter or even started a new book. I mean, I try to write chapters of my stories and I constantly have ideas flying through my mind, but I just get this feeling. Like I don't want to write anymore and I should just give up on being an author completely.
But part of me is the exact opposite.
Sometimes I'll be watching a movie, playing a video game, or even reading when a random story idea pops into my head. I'll think about everything I can write and create from that idea. Just imagine playing with playdoh and molding your art piece into different shapes, that's how I get when I come up with an idea for writing. But then, after I come down from the excitement of creating a story, I'll feel utterly disappointed. Like I'm not good enough to be an author.
I don't want to give up on writing. From the start of 2014 to the end of 2016 was the worst years of my existence. I may be overexagerating since I'm still just a teenager, but from my personal experience, I had the roughest years of my ongoing life. I spiralled into depression and started to have major anxiety. I was bullied and made fun of, I had no friends, and I felt completely miserable. I felt like my family didn't care about my well being and I just continued to become a bad influence to my siblings.
Then, I got to my breaking point. I tried to commit suicide. I don't regret doing what I did, I just regret putting all the stress and pain on my family. I'm trying to keep writing, I'm hoping I will continue, but with all the stress on my shoulders I'm not sure if I will. I know this is an extremely long message, but I just wanted to inform you guys about my situation and hopefully you'll take the time to read this to the end.
