Thoughts for better days. Here if you would like to talk.

Please...please stay alive. If not for you, that no it for someone else. That's what I'm doing.

You are not the only one who has ever felt this way. I hope it helps to know that you are not alone. as the saying goes...this too, shall pass. Hope you are on the mend soon! Hugs!

I know the feeling entirely. I feel exactly the same.

Sometimes not having the "courage to die" is a lot like having the courage to live.

I have fought that situation, sometimes we just have to settle for a few days of existing before we can start to live again.

Gentle hugs

I've felt this way too. Maybe it helps to know you're not alone. Life can really suck at times. I'll pray for you.

The point of a support group is just that, to get support!! Can I ask you WHY you don't want to live any longer? I don't want to invade your privacy but knowing would help us to help you. Hugs...GB

thanks for all the replies...especially the Pepper Man(?)...your post actually made me think...

Gramybear...in response to your question - i just don't enjoy anything at all about life-nothing...it's like I.AM the walking dead...I went to my neice's birthday party in July...I just sat there...thinking about how I had no feelings-nothing...just there...then...I try to go to church - and instead of feeling peaceful, like I used to...I feel nothing but anxiety...and I get fidgety and can't wait till we get out...and then I have to recuperate from being around people for days...at home, I am fine if I am home alone...but if I go somewhere or in the evenings when my husband is home...it's the same feeling - nothing...I have no ambition, no purpose, no drive...I don't really care about anything or anyone and no one cares about me...I just have absolutely no reason for living - I don't enjoy life...at all...it's basically just a reminder of what a waste of life I am...and I am so tired...tired of trying to get through life...tired of going through the motions...tired tired tired...and I just believe it would be better to die,

I know what you mean and I'm in the same boat. I've got little ones who depend on me to be here, so I have to hang on for them, but many days it is just so miserable, so incredibly exhausting.

I wonder if you have any old passions or things that ever have you any amount of happiness that you can rediscover.

Many hugs, friend.

Thanks @TooMuch -
Actually I do...and I am trying but I honestly do not find any interest in them anymore...it's kinda of like I wrote in my other post yesterday about Regression - I want to go back to the way it was so long ago, but of course realistically speaking - I can't...and to do them today...well I just can't find the strength to do that either....and it's not for a lack of trying either. ...

I do hope you keep trying. or that maybe you'll find something new to enliven you. I'm not always very positive thinking, but today I'm feeling like everyone should have something in life that gives them some amount of joy or comfort Otherwise life is torture. Today I have found comfort in a nap and in knitting for a friend. Tonight I am planning to play a game with friends. So I get through today on these moments and they make the terrible sad moments maybe not worth it, but bearable. And then tomorrow I will find other small things to live for, and so on for all the days. And there will be days where there is nothing, no comfort, certainly no joy, and those will be the tough lonely days and I'll barely get through them and I will wish I didn't have to. But I will because I have to. So I hope you can find little things to make this ride more bearable.

Thank you so much for answering my question. I wish I could speak with you because I have been where you are far too many times. That is when I was told I was bi-polar, had Agoraphobia, anxiety, and whatever my brain can think up to give me at the moment. I liked what Pepper said as well. At least believe that the people here on DS are loving and supportive and that you are NOT alone. And you ARE important. Big Hugs

No @gramybear...thank you.
If I may ask...who told you had those conditions? I've researched them, and been told by friends/family that I may/may not have them...and my therapist has suggested I see a psychiatrist...but I have love/hate relationship with doctors and know myself well enough to know that I won't listen to them or do what they say. So...I was just wondering.

Thanks again. -DR
