I feel like life is consistently pushing me down every time I try to stand up. I can never be happy anymore I have nothing working in my favor anymore. I don't smile I don't even sleep anymore that's how frustrated I am. I hate my life why can't I just die and not have to deal with this.

Therapy might help you. Find something in your life you enjoy and
do it as often as you can. You have time to fix your difficulties and
eventually have a better life. I did. Don't give up yet. Keep trying.

Have you considered talking with a psychiatrist? If not, I would recommend that you make an appointment to see one. The doctor will make their diagnosis and determine if you need medication and they will probably recommend a therapist. You would greatly benefit by talking with a therapist who will listen to you and help you to understand why you feel the way you do and offer coping skills. As the above post mentioned, find something you really enjoy doing and do it as often as possible. Good luck to you.

Life is hard but you are worth the fight. You do need to seek help though feeling this way is beyond draining.

If you hate your life why is the first instinct to just die and be rid of it. Why not just change the direction of it and get to a place that you want to be. Hard work can be it's own reward, nobody can keep you locked in a life that you don't want to be in, you have the power to change it.

If you are fighting feelings deep down inside it might be a chemical imbalance that can be fixed. If you have a sore throat you go to your primary doctor. If you are depressed or to angry you need to go to a psychologist.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...
