life help: Well Im convinced that I will never be truly happy. - Help.com

Well Im convinced that I will never be truly happy.

Sometimes I have a good time and my spirits are high but soon they fall. I feel that life is just going through motions that dont mean anything. 23 and so tired of life. Im so cynical I hate everything and everyone to some degree. I feel so lost. Working has always made me feel better, no matter what it is. No I dont want to do anything but sleep. As much as I hate being alone, I cant deal with anyone right now. I dont think anyone can help me. I dont know why I am posting this.

Now is the time when you need someone there the most. What caused you to have such a change in personality?

you’re strong and you’re able.

i know how you feel.

i have the extreme highs and the extreme lows.

maybe we’re not meant to be happy, some of us.

it’s just all about acceptance and becoming efficient at leaving.

productivity + (-negativity) = worthwhile life

One. Ive tried to explain to her how I feel. That im depressed. So she asks why? Um chemical imbalance in my brain. I take my meds. THe combination that took eight years to find. Now I feel like crap again. She tells me to quit everything. I dont want to hit bottom again. I want to move on. I want to be happy. I feel like Im stuck in this phase of my life. Things will never change. I cant talk to her anymore. I feel all I do is bring her down. Sometimes she says she wont talk to me till Im ready to change. How does one do that?

Things will change you just have to quit thinking so negatively. You change by one step at a time. Find something you can do like a sport or something that will get you involved . Tell her your ready to change but you need he to help you and be there for you and i can almost guarantee she will.

I know. I am on lithium. SO yes, things will cycle back up but that doesnt mean things will change. Because eventually things will cycle back down, and it seems like everything I fall deeper. Also, I have such a competative spirit that I cant just do anything unless Im the best. I hate loosing so instead I dont do anything.

I see I see I am the same way but you dont see the truth my friend by not trying or risk you then fail so if you try or risk something you may get some where but by not trying at all you have failed from the start

you know you should try to get into sports.

bungee jumping, swimming in the sea in teh middle of the night…

jumping into the surf in the middle of the night….

do something which will make your heart beat and your adrenaline rush.

because it is these things, that help us step off earth and touch something

bigger than ourselves.

They meditation does this also, prayer, etc, etc. You just have experiment and research…

These could help “depression, bi-polorism, anxiety, etc, etc.”

I did though. For years I participated in sports and all it did was wear my body down. I never won and in fact I sucked. I did 8 differnt sports in high school and nothing. Now I do the basics. Work, go to school, I have no energy to do anything else.

that involves physical activity?

what was on sport that you were good at, perhaps…

that you enjoyed?

Or is there a hobby that you enjoy?

hmmm.

try going through the motions of things that you enjoy…

and eventually the numbness will go away.

I can’t guarantee it, but it’s a good possibility.

I feel like that at moments myself. but now i truly beleive that in time you will find something that will make u truly happy.just gotta be patient. and i’m not gonna lie to you and say those feelings will ever go away because they won’t.maybe will grow weaker, but they will never go away. you just gotta try to find ways of dealing with them.

Everyone goes through these feelings! You may have convinced yourself that something is wrong with you, but not me! We all texperience the ups and downs of life, and even after the sun has set and all is dark, light will come again. The sun will rise on your life. Embrace it.
