I feel like I’m hopeless I’m this world, like I have nothing else worth fighting for. I’m so hurt inside I feel heavy hearted everyday. Everyday I wish I was dead. I feel like I have a 1,000 pound weight on my back and everyday it’s crushes me more and more. I just want to feel cared for. Idk if I can keep living this way.

Hey, I want you to know that I hear how you're feeling and I am sorry that you feel this way. It feels awful to not have a purpose in life or to feel that no one is there for you. I want you to know that chances are, a lot of people in your life can relate to the way you are feeling if y0u reach out. Maybe try telling someone close to you, even if it's just family, "hey, I'm having a rough day.". If you don't think they'd care, which is okay too, maybe give yourself tiny, tiny goals to accomplish throughout your day. like, goal one: I got out of bed. goal two: I brushed my teeth. by the end of the day you could have accomplished at least ten goals... maybe that might help. here for you <3

Oh I'm so sorry. Prayers for your peace as I write. I've felt hopeless too At times, but living has much to offer. Spring is here. The trees and flowers are starting to bloom. The universe is filled with majestic moments. I find it helpful to journal my thoughts, read inspirational books and listen to soft music on those bad days. God bless.

I don't know much about you. I see you are a member of Breakups and Divorce group. I conclude you are grieving over a divorce. I also see that you have quite a few DS friends.

Divorce is devastating to most people. Damned near killed me. All I can tell you is that it won't, unless you let it. TIME heals that pain ... that is a PROMISE.

You are a value to mankind and I can understand how you may not feel that way, but it is true.

Stay busy ... give it time, you have a very good life ahead of you. You are young, smart, good looking and something did not work out for you. Life holds MANY opportunities. Stay in the game .... happiness is ahead for you.

I'm so sorry that you are hurting. We are here and we care for you.
Do you have a friend or family that you can trust? It helps when there is someone you can talk to especially if you are hurting. Writing your feelings and thoughts are also a good way to release your emotions. Reading/listening to inspirational messages and worship songs always work for me to uplift my mood. I hope it will work for you too and you will feel better.

Please don't give up. I pray that you will have comfort as you go through this and you will overcome. Please keep us posted, God bless.
