I'm Just So Tired of Living.

Posted , 8 users are following.

I don't remember the last time I was truly happy.

I am 23 years old, and every day I just get closer to giving up, I see no point in living anymore. I know someone would care if I'm gone I just don't know if I care enough. I can't afford to go to a therapist, I can't afford medication and I'm not sure if I care enough to even try if those were options. I just don't see any reason to bother anymore. I don't even know why I'm up at 2 am writing this when I know I'm going to get answers like "call _____" or "it will get better just put some effort into it" I just want to be happy I want to know what that feels like but I don't think I can ever fulfil that fantasy.

I need help I just don't know what to do and see no options.

    Hi fyre

    for one im glad your up at 2am writing this,

    You dont need a therapist

    shakespere once said there is no such thing as a bad experience they are just experiences what makes them bad is our thoughts about I used to think wtf butbuts actually true ill explain that as yiur inner dialect noe is saying what is this fool on about if course theres bad experiences

    so here is how people think it works

    lets say a girl left a man she cheated for example he sees whats happened and its terrible so sad negative and deflated right?

    Because hes thinking she ruined this she did that I wasnt good enough etc all theses are negative thoughts

    experiences do not have emotion attached to them the thoughts we have do tho so lets try something a little different same senerio ok the girl cheats and leaves still exactly the same

    however the guy instead of looking at negatives he says well ok shes nit the one for me but I get to go out and date new people now im free to do what I want when I want I enjoy dating its fun and exciting ill make new friends

    you see how it works hes replacing the negative thoughts with positive thoughts

    its hard to master thays true but if you can change your thought process you change the emotion attached to it and there by become happy

    I hope this makes sense to you and you can try to look at things differently

    change you language to change your life thsts a quote right there

    you need to change the thought pattern and ease the emtions yiur feeling

    good luck

    Hi fyre I was also up till 3 am same thoughts dont think my new meds r working. Therspy is making my anx worse opening up old wounds id rather forget. Maybe for some that works but not for me xx so you're definitely not alone here. My friend Claire sat on the fone with me talking about all the good things to come and the memories I've built over the years. The happy times. It's just trying to push the black hole out of the way

    Easier said than done hey?? Do hope u feel better soon. Lots of love xxx

    Hi, just ran across this post even though it’s been 3 months since you’ve posted... are you feeling the same? Different? Better? Just curious because I’m feeling really lost right now and wondering/hoping to find positivity. I’m looking to see people overcome and succeed to maybe give me a little hope that I can do the same. Thanks...

    I understand what you are going through. I'm 53, disabled from injuries on duty, which cost me Two careers, not to mention the chronic pain. I'm totally alone in this world. That's right, no friends, no family. They're lucky. They're dead! I'm not suicidal. I've been to psychiatrists who just threw pills at me. I feel better without them. I have no more faith in God. Only fear

    I understand what you are going through. I'm 53, disabled from injuries on duty, which cost me Two careers, not to mention the chronic pain. I'm totally alone in this world. That's right, no friends, no family. They're lucky. They're dead! I'm not suicidal. I've been to psychiatrists who just threw pills at me. I feel better without them. I have no more faith in God. Only fear . People have said " go meet new people". Nice advice to keep being rejected. I don't even care about my pets anymore. I served in the military and was highly decorated. All the citation, medals.. mean nothing to me . They went out in the garbage. I very rarely let anyone know that I served as I'm tired of the parrot reply " thank you for your service". None of you have the slightest concept of what we've done. And I'm not talking about killing either. So keep your Thank you's. I rarely leave my home anymore because I'm tired of seeing what I wish I had, and begged God for. And my house is still in need of repair from a past Hurricane. No carpet, no air conditioning, busted pipes. How can I afford that on 875 a month? I can't even afford to have TV. If I were to die in my sleep No One would miss me. It could be weeks until it was noticed when the mailbox went unemptied. I don't remember the last time anyone said that they loved me. And meant it. My doctor exploits my need for pain meds by charging me for each thing he can. $45 to fill out a form, and $50 office visit CO pay to get it from him. Most of all I'm angry, hatefully angry at God and those who purport to represent him. Hypocrites! I have No expectations of eternal happiness. No, I'm Not going to commit suicide. But I'm sorry I woke up again

    I'm 22 and I'm feeling exactly the same. I'm so lost. I can't connect to people. I'm tired of life. I cry everyday at least 3 times. I tried to cheer myself up. But that just adds on to my sadness. I want someone to talk to. I want someone to tell me what's right and what's wrong. I want someone to tell me what to do. Is there anyone to help me out?
