Today is just not a good day

[jryden]

I woke up with a headache and everything just hit me at once. I want to cry so badly but it will make my headache worse.

Have you had that moment when you realized this is it? This is all there is to life?
Ughh thats all I can think about today. Its pathetic how behind I am in life compared to ppl my age. (In many areas). I cant even believe how old I am sometimes b/c I've accomplished nothing.

I really would appreciate a car running over me right about now

Why is life so unfair!!!

*hugs*

I feel how you do often J....im sorry...

I dont erally have anything uplifting or insightful to offer..all i can say is yuor not alone with this.

Tomorrow is another day. Dont try to ignore how you feel. Sometimes we just need to feel this way, let the pressure out, before we can try to pick ourselves up again.

If you need anything, PM me.

I feel this way too, today for a fact. It suks. Hope tomorow will be better for you

I think about that sometimes and feel stuck in a position. I know it does get to me some days like it's doing you right now. Try to do something for yourself to keep your mind busy or make a list of things that you can achieve right now and knock them off. If you have fears maybe try practicing over coming them. So sad that all these people struggling through this are worlds apart, so sorry that you want to cry right now, but can't, it is great to release

You need to always keep yourself occupied in stuff.. Gym, hobbies, work, people..

I went through this crap so many times, my conclusion is at times there is nothing to do about it; might aswell get yourself busy with something you enjoy doing.. Watch a movie, play a video game, fix your car, build something out of nothing, meet some friends, be part of a community, masturbate, etc..

Sitting inside your head is the last thing you want to do..

Aw, those days suck... But they are only moments.

Sometimes when I feel like that, there is a monkey on my mind. You mention that it feels like you've accomplished nothing. Who exactly is looking down on you for this, or who do you imagine there to be looking down on you? Maybe you are comparing yourself to others.

If you want to turn this day into something slightly better, get that monkey off your back. Give yourself permission to take a break from that voice that is comparing to other people and telling you that you are crap. Then go do something that will allow you to enjoy the little things I think it's time to LET yourself relax and zone into something that you like to do.. Reward yourself for getting where you are, because you have accomplished a lot no matter what direction you take, these accomplishments just may be less concrete to other people than what society terms as an accomplishment . No matter where you are, you are fortunate, in comparison to some people. And you are always in a good place to start anything you want.

Oh I want to add to this, don't take life so seriously! Maybe there is nothing huuugee to live for in this moment, but there is never a reason to waste a life when you could be enjoying something as simple as... going for a walk. A cup of tea. Watching the rain outside. Zenning out into a book. Simple little thing-enjoyment helps, sometimes we take life too seriously and make it out to be wayy to big and important.

I have.

Yea, I agree.

Just set one achievable goal. That will get you going again.
A phyisical activity helps.

You cannot be behind in life, because there is no finish line.

We live to be who we are. You accomplish what you want to accomplish, who cares if somebody else doesn't think it's important?

Hope you start feeling better. I have had these moments, but they pass.

I tend to disagree with this, because even though there is no "finish line", there do seem to be certain deadlines for certain major life events. Finding a romantic partner, for instance - it gets really hard to do after a certain point. Your chances go way down. That doesn't mean it's impossible, it is just much less likely, and much harder to find someone. But it does happen.

I don't know how old the OP is, and I don't know what goals he/she had/has that haven't been accomplished, so I can't really give any advice (not that I'm very good at that anyway).

I can say though, that I can empathize. I get the same feelings.

I completely agree with this. I don't always do this myself, but it's true. Sitting around ruminating does nothing - nothing but bring you down further. You may as well get some endorphins flowing or do something productive that will occupy your mind and make you feel good, at least for a little while. It's just part of coping with these sorts of feelings.

Sounds like an existencial moment.

 

[chibiXphantom]

Sorry you had a bad day. You described alot of my regular weekdays. The potential for life to get better is there, it just seem out of reach sometimes.

I am sorry you're having a bad day...I have been there way too many times and it sucks big time.

For me, it passes. But not soon enough if feels.

I have a tendency to compare where I am at in life compared to ppl I know or have known and it is so depressing.

I wish I had some advise for you other than the fact that *this too shall pass*

Feel Better & keep posting -oftentimes it does help

They are definitely only moments. Moments that pass. Moments that make you think, "gee, what the hell was going on?" when you're feeling better later.

We have all been there, even me, but we have all escaped the other side. Hopefully by now you have already done that, jryden.

Oh, totally. This advice is difficult to follow when you're wallowing in those depths, but it's the best thing to do. Take some time out to do what you really enjoy, whatever that might be. It's the best way to get out of the funk and try to grasp onto the better aspects of life.

Great post, EscapeArtist.
