I have lost the will to live

My life has always been so hopeless, despite numerous attempts to change it. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I know I am not made for this world. Things don't get better, they get worse. The harsh realities of life have eaten me alive and I no longer wish to exist.

  • Please talk to someone irl, Samaritans, doctors, anyone. I'm not sure what to say other than I've been there too but I know that's not really a comfort, speaking to people helps, gets it all out of your head where it can stew.

    Hi ja, just read your other posts.
    You are 25 and living at home with mum and dad.
    you must have your own room, your own bit of space.
    Put some lively music on and cheer up!

    Not everyone makes friends easy, I sure don't.
    You need something to look forward to. Anything!
    What about picking some flowers from the garden?
    Starting a craft. Painting, drawing, sewing....something to fill in time.

    Just chat to us.
    Do some online competitions.
    You have to want to help yourself.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    You are made for this world else you wouldn't be here. Things do get better. Sometimes they get worse aswell. But then they get better again.


    These feelings will be history one day, nothing stays the same. Only the rocks are forever. Hold on.. you'll be ok

    Make an appointment as soon as you can to see your GP. Tell them what you have told us.

    Sometimes people do go through sad and lonely times, but the GP may be able to help you react better, either through medication or by referring you for counselling or blood tests.

    You could be anaemic if you have heavy periods and that could be making matters a lot worse.

    It is important that you speak to someone about this.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Everybody is worth something to somebody.

    I am sure your parents consider you to be extremely important to them, and would be devastated if you did anything to yourself.

    Please call the Samaritans.

  • I've been there too and I too got better and you will too if you take a step back and let this pass. I have a daughter with a serious mental health problem and I can only say how it would destroy my life too if she ever succeeded in doing permanent harm to herself. I am sure your family would feel that way as well. As other posters have said, talk to the Samaritans now. They are there 24\7. And after that, get some professional help. Start with your GP. There are people who can and will help you. Xx
