for me this is the worse time of year. first off its winter and we are getting buried in massive snow. my b day is coming up on the 20th and its a new year. my b day is cursed. every year since i can remember someone i know and love either gets seriously sick or dies, so i am stressed knowing something soon is going to happen. plus i am getting closer to 40 and still have nothing to show for myself. went from a size 2 at 19 years of age to a size 32 now. i have no new years resolutions this year. i just dont see the point not like i will live up to them. if it wasnt for my wife i am not sure i would even be living right now. i dont see the point of breathing nymore. but i know my wife needs help. i have to take care of her so thats why i keep breathing. but what happens when that becomes not enough like everything else in my world. im not a religious person. im not against religion either. people can believe what they want that is there right. it isnt right or wrong it just is. but why were we ever put on this miserable plain of existence. there is nothing but pain and suffering in this life. is there really a point to it all?

The point is to learn to love uncondishionaly ....to experience ...to help others on there path as they help you from time to time .....we are in school.....I don't say this lightly I say it because of my experiences.....in your life there will be things that will happen that you have no control of and you can't hide from them and then there are choices ......your depression you can't hide from. but you do have the choice weather you want to let it win or weather you want to fight it ...this is war ....you need to be seeing a councillor or phicaatrist And on meds and if you are than you need your meds adjusted...ad if you want to start to get better than you need to start talking everything had to come out ...I learned that the hard way I ended up in hospital. They had to give me ect because I was going down to far to fast....I never want to go there again so I talk ......and even through I am going through another depression I never gone back to that place ...if you see a doctor you have to tell them exctealy how bad it is inside or they can't help you ......I will keep you in my prayers ....I have had depression all my life I have never been without some level of depreshion ...it runs on my dads family .....god bless

What if we had not been??

Why do some people have good lives and others do not?

You have an existentialist outlook. That's OK, .. I guess. I think you fail to realize we can direct our lives .. from bad circumstance toward good circumstance. Our lives react to and await our direction. We have choices .. it is not a matter of take it or leave it.

Read your post ... and make up your mind to change all that bad stuff.
