It is inevitable that one day you will be happy. And free of your pain and problems.

It is inevitable that you are going to have to fight your demons and face your fears.

Therefore: Why wait until these occur by themselves, when you can just start now. Get going with things. The sooner you start taking back your life the sooner you can start living it to the full.

go see your doctor please. they are trained to help you. they will want to help you. and they can help you.
after that, do some soul searching. find all those little things in your memory that made you happy, and do them again and take them into the future and your life.
hope you get what i mean.
but please, first port of call, please speak to your doctor. its confidential and you have no need to worry! its perfectly natural to get pissed off at somepoint ;)

Telling yourself every day that life is not worth living is only going to make it feel more so…. You have to decide to make a new start, to start improving your situation… whatever it is that’s bothering you has solutions. Writing down the problems and then figuring out possible ways to start changing things can help. You’ll start to feel better if you start working towards these goals. We can help to steer our life in new directions… but even without that, life always changes. Things do change and get better on their own… sometimes we just have to hang in there through the tough times. I don’t know exactly what’s making you feel this way, but if you want to tell us about the reasons, we’re here!!

hiyas, so do you feel like talking about it? Why is life so unbearable for you? It may just be that you haven’t found the right coping mechanisms that will work… sometimes we say we have tried, but how much effort does it really need? Did we try with all that is within us? Most often when we “try” we put in an effort that we think should get results, and when we do not see the results that we think we should see… we neglect even the small strides to our healing, and we begin to loose hope once again… we are self sabotaging in nature… ( Are you following me here?)

( Kinda hope I didn’t talk around in circles…)
Sometimes it takes many many times of picking ourselves up and dusting ourselves off and trying again… and refusing to see or accept defeat. The next time we fail, it is for our benefit to see where we went wrong and to tackle the situation differently but still with the same might and determination…

What happened to the person inside yourself that held dreams and goals? Where did that all fall by the wayside? Why suddenly does your feelings get to dictate who and what you are, what you can and can’t do? When you beging to empower the negatives, they engulf you, but there is freedom from this, and it’s not death.

I would like you to do something for me please… go look in the bathroom mirror, and look at yourself in the eye… no seriously… tell yourself that you are worthy and you matter, you are not what your feelings are telling you. You have a purpose in this life and dag nab it ( Okay SWEAR if you want… if you HAVE TO GO DO IT!) tomorrow is another day that will not be ruled by pain and sorrow.

I don’t know you but I can tell you that you are worthy and you are a beautiful person inside. You have a future full of blessings and happiness awaits when you are ready to find it. Begin to look to the little things in life… appreciate the day that you made it this far! That’s a huge mile stone! I am proud of you and friend… you are going to make it! one baby step at a time.
Shout if you wanna chat.
later, your friend shannon

maybe it hasnt worked cause its not supposed to happen. i honestly dont think killing yourself will put an end to your problems. ive had thoughts like that before. like there was no point to going on, but there is. you just gotta make your life worth living because this is the only life you get. if you take it away, you cant get it back. its kinda like that saying “you dont appreciate what you have til its gone”. dont make that mistake. so just make the most of your life. dont try to throw it away while you still have it.

I don’t know what the reasons are that you feel that way I know what mine were when I thought about it often. Mine was pain (physical and emotional)and the lack of feeling that I had any future worth living. You know what I was soooo wrong. without the physical pain the emotional pain was killing me inside because I thought I had killed someone that I loved very deeply in a car accident. Right now is the time that you need to be building your life up and not tearing it down. God built us to be strong in life and if we have a problem ask him to help with it. What about the people that care about you? Why would you want to lay hurt on the people around you? If you succeeded what would you accomplish? You are so much better than that you so deserve much better then to feel the way you are but it is up to you to change that. Nobody can change it for you! I’ve been there too and I am so greatful and feel so blessed that I didn’t do that. NOw a days I have problems still just like everybody else does but I make it through them and at the end of the day I feel like I have accomplished something. I keep myself busy also by helping others. Putting a smile on other people’s face makes me feel so good. Even if it is something that is so small like being at walmart and helping an older person get in their car or help them with their bags. Now, know that I am disabled too but that way it helps me know that there are lots of other people alot worse off than I am. Or volunteer your time to help underprivileged kids. There are many things that would make you feel so good about yourself and to see how much these people could easily depend on seeing your smiling face. I promise you it will definitely make a difference in how you feel about life. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and if you need to chat just let me know. Robin

then really, fsck that life. try something different. if you’re so gung-ho on ruining your life anyway, why don’t you try something interesting like try cross-country backpacking or something.

what have you got to lose? better than trying and failing and trying to kill yourself again.

who ever wrote the anonymous post which read

“maybe it hasnt worked cause its not supposed to happen. i honestly dont think killing yourself will put an end to your problems. ive had thoughts like that before. like there was no point to going on, but there is. you just gotta make your life worth living because this is the only life you get. if you take it away, you cant get it back. its kinda like that saying “you dont appreciate what you have til its gone”. dont make that mistake. so just make the most of your life. dont try to throw it away while you still have it.”

I just want to say that out of all the post on this site and other sites that the quote “you just gotta make your life worth living because this is the only life you get.” saved my life its an inspiration to me. I have to say who ever you are you saved my life and want to thank you for that!

Guilty as charged.lol. Mike, im crying with JOy’ for you. and so very ’satisfied’ right now. YOu have just filled my soul to the brim taking place of an empty spot . this is only the second time someone has said that to me in my whole life of trying to help others . You are so welcome, and thank you :D but I have to say I owe it all to the big guy upstairs. Without him I know i would not be here talking to you and we would not have come together in the first place. Cheers to LIFE!! and Bless you :)
