Whats the point in living? When you know youre going to be like you are for ever, when medication does not help, only makes you even duller and dumber so you cant actually question your existence because your brain is frozen, when you see every day as the same as the last, when you predict what will happen tomorrow, when you think of your future, imagine yourself getting a degree, married, getting old, buying house, dying... youve lived it all in your head, why do you have to live it out in the real world? Ive lived life, Ive married my favourite woman in my mind, had children, done everything, I know how everything will pan out, if not exactly then at least generally... so whats the point in going on? If you can tell me, without waffle, without questions, just one sentence or two, and only if you know the answer to this unsolveable dilemma.

I personally think there is a point to living. Even with depression it is worth living. One sentence or two? Well I have had my say. No I don't know the answer to this dilemma. Sorry.

It led me to try to find a way to make my time here somehow of value. I don't think I ever have done that, but I get great comfort from helping animals who are suffering and humans who need me for some small reason.
I still ask those questions which make your brain hurt....you know...the ones like where does the universe end !!! But life is easier than it was in my teens and twenties.
Sorry I didn't keep to one or two sentences, but you touched my heart.
Pat.

You are right, but oh why are you so deep in your thinking? Just live. Don't work out the purpose of life. You sound young, and I am old, but in all these years I just accept I am here. Does anybody really know what purpose life holds? Of course not. Why worry about the unanswerable question???

In my 20/30's I faced a choice. I decided there was no point going on with life if I was just making myself miserable. I had to end my life or learn to accept what it was and just get on with it making my own choices and getting to know and accept myself better. I chose the latter and most of the time I am glad I did.
The question that really gets me is - what happens when you know yourself too well and wish you didn't? You can't go back to 'not knowing' can you?
