    Yes, I'm running out of those.

    I have been feeling really, really bad lately. Opening my eyes in the mornings is a chore more than anything else, the only thing I enjoy is laying in my hammock, anything else is just a drag.

    The future is not promising, things can only have only gotten worse, last year I could use my shower, now I must use a bucket to give an example.

    I stopped feeling angry, I have stopped feeling a lot of things other than frustration.

    The worst part is I feel like some edgy teenager, but I'm an adult and adults shouldn't feel like this.

    I know this is not a suicide hotline but could anyone give me some reasons for wanting to live? Please don't say anything religious or "The flowers are the gift of life's bloom" or some other crap like that, it really doesn't help me.
     
  2. Could you give me a little background on your situation? Are you employed? Do you have any skills? Is there anything that you enjoy doing and find fruitful? Do you have kids, or a S/O?

    One reason, death comes sooner than we sometimes expect. Not worth speeding up that process.

    Reason to live: Work to improve the quality of your life.

    There are kids in the cancer ward that would want to have the health that you have.

    When I am depressed like that I usually just keep living until I find a good reason to keep living. I do have suicidal thoughts a lot and get depressed and lonely but I push through. I think you need to keep searching to find a dream or something you are passionate about. Even if it is way out of your reach and scary, just do it so you have something interesting going on.

    I have many things to say but the most probable reason to live is to take care of your creators yes parents and repay what they have given you ; yes life! And moreover do you ever wondered why porn exist?or why we are addicts? because we like every humans tried to manipulate the natural order and create disorder in perfectly balanced biological system;yes reproductive system most people on the planet use it for recreation or procreation but it shouldn't as I've learned from my experience this world can be anything-even a Utopia if you believe and why am I saying so and how?have you seen a movie called matrix in that movie the machines created 6 matrix before the concurrent one and all were utopian and perfectly well but humans didn't just believe in it similarly this world might also be a simulation so perfectly designed that we can't prove it fake but that's not my point even if this world is real we should try to learn about it as much as possible pass on the ethics of science and engineering and logic to the future beings and we should respect nature and the reproductive arrangements but we should respect everything I've heard so many times people say someone is hot I mean yes they are relatively because they aren't at 0 Kelvin you know what I mean haha so always blabbing and referring our actions to just sex is not justice I'm sorry if I wanted your time

    Take classes in kung fu or Qigone to learn how to get out of your head. Learn to generate energy through your body. Chinese call this 'Chi', or life source. Your energy is most likely stagnant which is why you feel little sensation other than frustration.
    Also learn meditation to slow down and distance your thoughts from yourself. Remember that your thoughts are the construction of your mind, your mind however is not yourself but when we think of it this way then we become our mind and all the garbage that's in it.

  11. Even the smallest things can change a life... to the bad but also to the good. Things like that are made by decisions. For example me telling a kid that is afraid of school and math because he isn't good at it. I was there as well as a kid. I was afraid to make mistakes... I saw that kid the first time and told him that it's okay to do mistakes and it's okay to try. Even our professors and many top students do mistakes. I asked him: do you think successful people would be there where they are when they would be afraid to do the big step. I gave him a short speech, while he was sitting next to his mother. Some tears fell down his cheeks. And he was so happy. He wanted to visit my class no matter what ^^ I gave him some of my wisedom ans he really did his best. He was a -4 which is like a -D in other countries... I guess. A bad grade. But after visiting my class he learned so fast that he was at least 5 pages ahead of his class. And when he or.I did a little mistake he smiled at me ans said: we all do mistakes. Such a great young man. I hope I changed his life to the better. I could as well just tell him that he will be good in math and he doesn't need to worry about it but I didn't. I took the chance to give him a little life lesson so he can stans against his fears. Little things... can change people. To the bad or to the good. For me the only living reason is to live. I just have one life. I won't waste it. I won't waste any chance! I keep marching forward. Through the bad days and the good ones. Life can be about anything... so the only reason I need to have is to live a life. Depression, ADHD, Self-doubts and average IQ.... who cares? I won't give up. The world doesn't care about your reasons. Everything is the same no matter what you choose to believe in. So LIVE your life.

    Yes, the "There are people more miserable that you" arguement.

    I have no interests to be honest.

    I cannot pay for any kind of classes, thought learning how to beat people up wouldn't be bad.

    What is the point if life is not enjoyable?

    No. I have no chance at dating. I have neither looks of personality, so it would be living for something I cannot have.

    Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you are struggling. Rebooting has its ups and downs, just like life. We see many people experiencing both the ups and downs during the reboot, and though it may be hard to see now, these feelings you are having won’t last forever. It will get better with time, if you are patient and wait.

    In the meantime, please seek professional help. I know the idea of calling a helpline might terrify you, but in times of crisis, we often need someone their to put our lives in perspective. So please contact someone who can help and don’t hang up on them. The International Association for Suicide Prevention maintains a list of suicide prevention hotlines for countries all over the world. Also, if you don’t feel up to actually talking to someone on the phone, StopSuicide maintains a list of online instant messaging and chat suicide prevention resources.

    You are not alone in this. There are ways to treat depression. Please contact people that can help you. Being depressed often makes it feel like you don’t have any more options. But that is a lie. That is just the depression talking. These feelings you have won’t last forever. We are in this with you, and we will all be cheering for you to get through this!

  19. I guess there’s really no magic wand to wave over your situation, or key piece of advise to hit you with. Some people just have better situations/resources than others.

    I struggle with the cold weather this time of year. Some things I do to cope: cook and make new food; layer up and go for a walk to clear my head and think; pick one of my recovering, druggie buddies up for a meeting (and listen to them go on and on about how their lives suck now that they can’t do anymore drugs); help the people out who are way worse off than me; read the Bible. There were plenty of men in Scripture with a defined purpose and many reasons to live. I have a mother who can’t walk, and all she ever wants to talk about is how much pain she’s in. I can go pick up her bag of narcotics, and then cook her dinner. I got an 8-year old with Down’s Syndrome. The only words I can understand that come out of his mouth are “vanilla ice cream”. I can take his ass to the zoo and walk around and look at animals. Then, I can chase him around the playground.

    Now I can look at all that in two different ways. The first is to tell the people how unfair it is that things are the way that they is. The second is to get off of my ass and roll with it.

    I don't think I'm one of those.

    I don't know how to.

    There are no suicide prevention of quality psychological help where I live. You either fix yourself or kill yourself. But thank you for replying.

    I don't want to be an incel and start blaming random stuff, but yes, some people just have better lives than others from the start.
