There has to be something worse out there than this. Please tell me there is.

and I can't even fucking write correctly

crying episodes in busy areas

not crying episodes in busy episodes

Well at least I don't feel bad about that letter I sent my ex anymore

Yeah I called my teacher mom once

I highly suggest you kill yourself.

This isn't cringy and beta, this is downright stupid and insane. You definitely have issues, so why not go to a therapist and try to sort them out? Try to turn your life around, instead of doing nothing but feeling sorry for yourself.

What do you think I was trying to do when I went downtown? It was a cry for help.

This really isn't that cringe-worthy or beta, you just sound like you have some issues that you need to talk to someone about.

no, not even close
the worst is you are just fake
so fake it makes me cringe

Well I can't say I've done anything to that level, but you're home now.

Random passerbys won't help you if you treat them this way, lying about your problems so you can keep emotionally masturbating rather than working through your issues. Psychologists are professionally educated and experienced in cases like yours, and won't indulge you in "oh I'm so sorry for this story you've just made up," but force you to tackle what's causing you to do this.

Talk to your mother if you can't afford a shrink, tell her you did this and that you want professional help. Shit, maybe Obama will pay for a shrink if you tell them you're unemployed or something.
