What is the point......

Its 7am here and I am sat thinking what is the point.....

I'm either on a rollercoaster or a merrygo round, nothing changes.....

I might finally get an appointment at the clinic, what is the point.......playing around with more meds and getting a treatment plan from someone who knows less than me......

My sis is dying, and apart from me offloading to my brother, the rest of my family doesn't know. We haven't heard from my brother in 15 years and I'm pretty convinced he's dead and now my mum is looking for him. When she visits my sis next month she is gonna realise she is dying. That'll be her finding out that of her 6 kids, one is dead and one is dying....what is the point?

I'm not going to hurt myself, but I am so so tired and don't see the point of it all 2day...

Is anyone else sat there thinking what is the f***king point?....

Some days are just like that, eveything seems too hard and too pointless, it will get better. I know you think your mum is in for bad news but it's probably better for her know whats doing on with her children, I know I'd want to.xx

Sure have..just a moment ago. We just somehow keep going and never know what the point is. Your mom is going to need you to get through this. You are going to need your mom and friends as well. You are strong rubes and you will make it through the way you are feeling. I know the frustration with meds and the whole try this and try that. Eventually they will have to get it right. Until then, lean on us.

Almost daily and while I 'know' it is part of depression somehow that doesn't make much sense - after all every life is lived then ended - even the earth and the solar system will someday cease then what. I often think that in fifty years no one will remember that I ever took a breath, so what's the point? I haven't a clue but now must shift to the mundane and get Orion to the vet, anyone wanna ride along?

ok, no wonder ur feeling like that. ur on a rollercoster - with ur emotions AND in reality. but there IS a point. it may be hard 2 c just now, but there is. and more meds may help - different meds may help. just cuz ur havin little faith in meds rite now, doesnt mean all meds arent gonna work. im very very glad ur not gonna hurt urself. please talk to us. if u dont feel u can talk 2 me, talk to someone. its ok 2 be upset, u have plenty of reason 2 be upset. i love u very muchly n im here if u want 2 talk 2 me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ruby, the point is you are alive and make it a goal to look for the pleasurable things life has to offer you which is there for the taking. Another point is you cannot control your brother and now your sister's fate. It's hard to look past it and find yourself in it but it's necessary for your well being.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
