It's not like any one cares. So why should I bother to keep living? Answer, I shouldn't.

I am sure there are people who care. I care. I was just thinking the same thing myself a few minutes ago and seems like you beat me to posting that I really don't want to live. Then I thought about my daughter and how devastated and lonely she would be and I realized again that I'm not here for myself only.

I ask myself that all the time. they say we have a purpose. Well then my purpose is to be sad and depressed everyday. they say God has a plan for us that we don't understand. Well it will take Him an eternity to explain it to me. Right now I know my cats need me. Sure there are some people but they adjust better. But sometimes it just makes it harder that these poor little creatures depend on me and I am such a mess. I guess people have been asking that question forever. Why Live? I don't know why we are here but people on this board care. QP

What if things are worse in the next life? Do you know? I don't that why I keep going each day trying to make a difference.

Hello Fluterify
Its sad to see youve come to a conclusion like that
I have no idea what youve been through
and what was the influence of your life in your heart
but I can imagine it wasnt a good influence
and perhaps not many people care for you
but thats not what is essential for well being , what is essential is that you care about yourself and do what it takes to make your life better . You should care about yourself because your existente has value and as long as youre here there will always be opportunities for you to get back on your feet and start improving .

You cant let your life experiences blind you , to a point where you feel so hopeless , like you sound to be , I know the experiences we have tend to be of a big influence in our within , but theyre unstable , if things are good today , they might not be tomorrow or if things arent good today , they might be tomorrow but sooner or later you reach the same end of the line , where you ask yourself , why didnt it last longer ???

You should seek influence within yourself , the one that will be constant and make your state of being last longer and keep improving with time . Im not saying any of this is easy but Im saying it is possible , you should try

I hope you dont mind if I recommend something for you to read
