What's the point if its going to get worse?

[lonelyworm]

Hi Just felt like asking this , i mean i have sad and major depression i cant work because of this im 25 now and been unemployed all my life , i have nothing to show for the wasted years apart from a ****ed up 2 yr relationship that went to **** because i dont have the mentality to deal with a relationship.

I can hardily deal with myself im so fed up of it . I dont see the point of even hoping that i will ever live a normal life with a career path. Why would i , i know who i am by now and that even when i try things dont get betterim sorry to stress that so much but no one listens there all like ah itl get better , but how can it ? I cant deal with people unless i have a cloud of anxiety around me .

Even if i was to be in a full time job and have a career , i just cant be fu**ed with the way of the world and how people are today the whole thing of fame , money etc. Its like if you not got no money or anything to brag about like car job etc ure a looser. Why even bother straith sheepin it up and following everyone elses "way of life" Infact im quite proud that im unique in this way .

Why is life all about money? Looks like im ****ed for life cos ill never be able to make a living ........

Sorry to go on , bit stressed with it all . Thanks

You are quite wring actually about one thing, this world isnt about money, i know many very poor people that live very fulfilling and happy lives. I also know people who have money and a nice car ect... and are very unhappy and have social issues

I felt like giving up at 25. I thought that life couldn't get better. I'm glad I did stick around and experience some good things.

I keep going out of curiosity-- just to see if maybe things can get better afterall.

OP, I know exactly what you're saying.

I'm 26 now and I don't know if I'll get any better. However, this is all I have to work with so I have to deal with it.

Same here. And maybe I am a bit of a masochist.

I have realized that without money, without a job, it is very hard to live. Hard to make plans, move forward. Yahoo ran this story about a man who has lived without money for 10 years or something. He lives in a cave and eats food from the garbage. He found a lifestyle that worked for him. Kinda extreme though.

I'm kind of the same. It's not so much that I'm curious, but I'm annoyingly optimistic in that if I think I've reached the bottom, I believe that it can only get better. Even if I didn't have anxiety and depression and social phobia, life would still have its highs and lows. I also feel like I owe it to my future self to stick it out. The person I was going to be is waiting for me to catch up and I don't want to leave that person waiting.

Wow that's really extreme.
I really don't know what's the point but maybe I can just hope it'll get better one day and keep trying though it never works.

It can get better I’d aim for doing some computer job because there’s more potentials to do it from home. There’s a guy I know that has been living with his mum until he was 30. He had no prior work experience, but all of sudden he decided to go to uni and in a few short years has turned his life around he now has a job and is living on his own. The person I’m talking about is my bf.

God knows I have these dark thoughts often, I have tried twice and failed (Almost succeeded once, but I missed the artery by about 1mm..) Not a day goes by I don't think about ending it all, so believe me, I get what you mean.. I don't know why I keep going on, I guess my curiosity makes me and if it comes to rock bottom, it's scary to think I know I have it in me to end myself. Keep going on for now and just let go of the wheel as I have done; let life take you where it wants you to be and see how it turns out.. I mean, the worst thing I can think of (and fear myself) is it going to absolute crap and I end up doing it anyway.. But I'll burn that bridge when I cross it. I have absoultely nothing to loose either way..

That is really neat You must be neat too.

Nope, just an ordinary individual

I know things will get better. Life for most of us I'm sure was good at one time. In me knowing that it was good once is enough to keep going. It's all a mental battle of desire. I know I'll only go as far as I want to. It's finding the strength to bridge the gap between my views on the world and implementing them, that's the tricky part.

Also, money has little value in determining the worth of a person. Sure you need enough, a little more would be nice, but when you crave money, when you lust for it and and jealous of other who have it then you are lost. Fixing that train of thought is important on your route to a more happy and fulfilling life.

That is encouraging. Thanks for sharing! Sometimes I feel like I am too old and have messed up my life irreparably. The struggle won't be over until I die, so I might as well keep trying!

Well I dont think its about money.

Thinking that everything is going to get worse is called catastrophic thinking. And thinking like that can be self fulfilling prophecy. I think it might help to see a therapist.

I don't believe in the rat race. I don't want to be like normal people and go to college then get a job and start a family....

I'd like to be free and travel one day, doing different things.

 

[theslowesthand]

let life take you where it wants you to be and see how it turns out..

(Had done this post yesterday, but UPS failed & "lost" it all, so doing it again)

Exactly, life will go where it "WANTS" to go, no matter WHAT you do - you cannot fight this, as its "destiny". Quite often, things "NEED" to get worse, before they can get better. That's all i can recall for now.

Same here I suppose.

Actually, right now it's more like, I don't have the courage to try and end it and don't have much confidence my chosen methods would work.

But I also want to see if maybe I can carve out my existence, my own reality, that is peaceful and somewhat happy for me. I've given up on my big dreams and decided to just settle for enjoying the simple things - after all, many many millions of people around the world can't afford to even have running water or electricity or food, let alone chase giant houses and flashy cars and making themselves look perfect (not that these were my goals, but just making a point).

Same.

While I suppose it can be a nice carved-out path for some people (maybe making them feel more secure, even if it's an illusion), you truly only live once and why spend it a slave to the system? Not trying to sound like a hippie or anything, but think about it. I don't even think people should have to work, what is the point of spending your whole life slaving away? But that's not possible obviously.

 

[coyote]

...But that's not possible obviously.

it's possible - you just have to be okay with being an outcast - always on the outside looking in

if you can get over those feelings, it really doesn't take all that much to survive

it only takes alot if you fall for the trap of trying to keep up with the Joneses
