What do you do when life isn't worth living?

I'm tired of being anxious all the time. I'm tired of having OCD thoughts all the time. I'm tired of being alone most of the time. I'm tired of seeing everyone else living their lives and being happy while i'm just left behind. I'm tired of working at a shitty job that i hate because i can't deal with most of other jobs because of my anxiety. I'm tired of seeing shitty people get happiness when they don't even deserve it.

There is no point in me being here anymore. I'm not just saying it, there really isn't. Maybe a few people would miss me but they'd get over it. I don't go on Facebook or Instagram anymore because i can't stand seeing spoilt b*tches posting of what Mummy and Daddy bought them when i'm working 40+ hours a week for minimum wage. I can't even deal with everyday life anymore.

Hey, I'd miss you :) What ever happened with the annoying co worker? There will always be undeserving people having the best (most expensive?) things in life and you know what? Hang in there like a weed in a flower bed and don't let the idiots get you down! Hang on just to irritate them and be a thorn in their sides! I'm speaking of life in general but there are people on here that would miss you besides me. I can tell by reading your threads that you have been through a lot, but don't give up on life. O.K.?

I wish that I had an answer for you.

Maybe this is against the rules, but to be honest, I completely agree and I'm not even sure that life is worth living when you have zero social mobility and you're barely just surviving, let alone actually living... and worse yet, the work you have to do in order to survive is taking up all of your time. I mean, there really doesn't seem to be much of a point in living a life like that.

The only advice I could really give you is to get out of that job however you can. Maybe you could save a small amount of money and take a course in something?

To be honest, I would rather be a criminal than work minimum wage for the rest of my life and I completely empathize with anyone who chooses that path-- the system is totally ****ed and it's not designed to empower everyone, just the people at the top.

Too much technology to be a successful criminal here lately. Wear a ski mask and load the piece with gloves on. Oh, and invest in a bullet proof vest, that's just smart. Besides, the only profitable criminals these days usually don't live too long. :thumbup:

Yeah, my life isn't really worth living. At least you're honest.

The most profitable criminals either end up sailing off into the sunset with hundreds of millions of dollars, or they end up running the country.

I don't know exactly what you have in mind with the ski mask/gun stuff.

Apparently a lot different kind of criminal. The Dillinger type.

Sometimes life can be very rough and I think most people hate their jobs. But life is still its always worth living. There have to be so good things about your life right? Can you think of something that makes you happy. what about activity's or hobby's that you enjoy? What makes you laugh?
I know how it feels to be overwhelmed with anxiety and life, but you just have to hang in there. Someday you may overcome your OCD and anxiety to a point that will allow you to make huge changes in you life.

Things i used to enjoy just don't make me happy anymore. I'm just done.

Please don't give up. There is always hope that you will once again find your happiness, It just may not seem like it now. There have been times that I have felt overwhelmed anxiety and depression. And each time I thought that it would never get better. But it did.

Life is never worth living.
Never has been. Never will be.

And yet here I am. Still alive.

Short explanation : I'm lazy. Suicide is too much effort, what with all the good methods being pretty much unavailable.


I wish I could get hold of some cyanide.


Anyway... I ain't gonna feed you lies about life being worth it. It totally isn't. But who really gives a toss? You gonna live anyway, because that is what your chassis was born to do. It is just easier that way.

I don't really know the answer, I was wondering the same thing today too. But I think, maybe it's time to give yourself another chance? And try to improve your life somehow.

You find someone, anyone - who is willing to listen to you. Who tries to understand you, without judgement and without an agenda. Someone who is on your side and is willing to support you without necessarily trying to 'fix' anything.
You regain hope with a strengthened belief in yourself.

Don't give up. Acknowledge how far you have come so far. You can do this.

I feel like I'm in limbo. I'm depressed and don't know what to live for anymore, besides getting medical care for my parents. But even if I'm not around, they'll still have health insurance from medicare.

I really really need acting skills, real bad, because I can't seem to like/love people. The strange thing is I like helping people online. I love digital life, not real life.

I'm very fragile. I don't think I can take another bullying incident at school. Several weeks ago, I cried in class. That's how fragile I am. I have never really recovered from my past trauma. Even though I don't think about the past as often, I am still subconsciously affected by it.

I have no doubt that you have many gifts and intelligence- there's a correlation with SA. The world needs you. This forum is a great place to vent and get ideas to help you through this difficult time. Social anxiety is NOT a life sentence, I assure you. Read as much as you can on books that address SA and OCD. That miserable job may be the place to begin practicing garnering friendships; I recall a job I had at minimum wage- no advancements- and because we all hated it, there was no competition with each other- I probably had more fun with this group when we got off work than any other place I worked. Pay attention to the little lilts in your mood- so you start getting an idea of things to explore. SA keeps us from trying things so we don't even know what we like.It's like a prison. Anytime you take a risk, honor your effort, not the success- and no comparing yourself with others. You have your own uniqueness. Don't give up.

I know I'm really late to this thread, and I saw that you haven't been on here in a month, so I'm hoping you're still here to read this.

I'd miss you. I don't even know you, but I'd miss you. Know why? Because you're one of us. You're one of the few people who understand us. Yeah, a bunch of crazies probably ain't the coolest clique, but it's something. Despite all the shit we're all going through, I'm sure most of us are glad we can at least come here to feel a little "normal". I know I am. And you're a part of that! Alone, we're scared and lonely, but together, we form connections. And you're a link in that chain.

Sorry if that's all a little coherent, I'm half asleep. :p

I know this won't help, but there are people who DO have it a lot worse. Appreciate what you have. The only thing I can think to offer is to find those one or two things that do bring you pleasure (there's always one or two) and rely on them to get you through the dark times til something else comes along or the badness lets up.
