lonely help: I have so many problems in my life, I dont know where to begin. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I have so many problems in my life, I dont know where to begin.

I have been extremely depressed for as long as I can remember, even suicidal at times. I dont know what to do anymore. I feel like Ive lost all ambition and motivation to do anything, like a lost soul. I havent been going to school, ive been barely going to work. my attendance is getting so bad at work that I am close to getting fired. I have a gambling problem. I cant seem to stop smoking weed. I am EXTREMELY lonely. I really have no close relationships in my life at all. and very few distant ones.
please help

the first thing you gotta do to turn your life around is get that motivation back..get that drive.(look around at the way things are and instead of getting depressed, use that emotion to fuel you)..it hasn’t gone anywhere its just like a weak flame, you need to throw some gas on it and get that baby pumpin again..you gotta realize that the only way your life is gonna change is when YOU decide to change it..Everyone of your problems you mentioned can be changed with hard work..its not too late.

when you think so hard that you live a miserable desperate life, the more it will come into reality. stop thinking and whining and just for one second, proceed with your life and do what you got to do. move forward and just do something worthwhile. drug addiction, gambling and suicide are not among the choices of course. your possible choices are doing good in school/ work, socializing more, building up your faith, among others. your life is in your hands. you wished that we could have some sort of magic wand to do it differently, or have a magic lamp to have a genie appeared before you and solve all your humongous problems as you claimed it to be, but surely and certainly there are no such thing as magic wand and magic lamp. everything and anything is still dependent on you. though destiny and will of GOD still plays an important aspect of our lives, but we are still pretty much in control. so decide now and start acting now, before fate will do it for you. if we don’t make things happen, things will happen for us and more often than not we don’t like the results.

if it means anything to you, i was or maybe still am in the same predicament. i know the answers but sometimes knowing is a lot more different than doing. life goes on, and so are we. no matter how imperfect situations can be. no matter how painful it is to us. still life goes on.
