People always say that things get better in time but my life has only gotten increasingly worse with each passing year. I feel as if I’ve been depressed for almost my entire life at this point. The only thing that brings me any kind of happiness is escaping in to the fantasies in my head. 

I’m only 23, there’s still so many years of life left to live. I don’t necessarily want to die but I also don’t know how anyone can handle living in this reality. I feel no attachment to it. It brings me nothing but pain. All I ever feel like doing is crying and curling up in bed to sleep my days away.
