I've got nothing to live for

Posted , 7 users are following.

I'm 19 years old and I've got nothing to live for I've lost my great grandma my great grandad and a couple of family friends. I have nothing I got no partner no job I feel like I'm losing my will to live. I'm not to sure what to do with myself besides admitting that I'm completely pointless and mentally weak.

    Hello Lucas. I am so sorry for the loss of your grandma and great granddad. I have lost my mother and father and all my grandparents. I am older than you but I lost them in my 30's. I still miss them. It seems to me that you must be grieving. Do you know anyone that you can talk to about how you are feeling or could you see a counsellor? It always helps me to see someone and talk to them when I am sad and feeling like my heart is hurting because I have lost someone that I love. Please write to us and let us know how you are doing. We really care about you. Diane

    Sorry you're feeling like this. You're very lucky to have had time with your Great Grandparents as many people don't get that chance & although any loss is painfully hard to cope with you can cherish those memories of the times you did have.

    You're not weak at all, admitting you're struggling & asking for help is perhaps the strongest thing you could've done so you should be proud of yourself for that. Depression can take over every aspect of your life & working can be so difficult but just start part time & see how you feel, don't put any unnecessary pressure on yourself. You could meet anyone at anytime things can change in a second.

    You should speak with your doctor about how you're feeling or anyone else you trust to support you.

    Take care

      Hello Nige that is a lot of loss all at one time. I think it is appropriate that you are feeling depressed and all the other feeling that you have going on. Have you thought about getting a little therapy to bump you out of this. I take antidepressants and they really do help me. Just a thought. Diane

    Hi Lucas - so sorry for your losses and the pain you have endured. I bet your grandma and great grandpa didn't think you were pointless and weak. I'd even bet that they would not want their precious grandson to halt life because they have passed. Have you had any counselling for these losses? Grief counselling? That might be a place to start. A visit to the doc to explain what you are feeling will also be helpful. Sounds like you are stuck in the mud over the changes these losses have wrought in your life. You need help to get yourself out of that - professional help - at 19 years of age you are not expected to do it alone.
