life help: I just want to give up. - Help.com

I just want to give up.

Just leave my job, school, apartment and go curl up somewhere to die. Not suicide - thats just too much effort — I’ve been down that road before. I just . . . I don’t even know. All this effort just seems so futile. I just feel like I cant handle another day of this. I feel happy doing only two things: singing and being with my sister and her family. I despise everything else. But giving up everything else would make my sister despise me. And I want more than anything to just give up.

I’m sorry your feeling this way. Have you tried medication? Honestly, i’ve heard of many people completely changing their lives around by that, when there was no other way, but if you have tried it and don’t think it works, try to spend more time with your sister, and ask if she can help you.

I feel the exact same way. Lonley miserable everything is so hard. You completly shut down and forget everything you are and used to be! I wonder like you, how am I going to get through this? But I just let the days pass slowly nothing seems to help but time.
I know things will get better with time, but I cannot simply wait for things to happen. I have to make it happen and in time all the struggle will pay off! Just stock in there!

You are just so lucky that you have a job, a family, a school and someplace to live… and still you are not happy. I have realized that life is NOT really unfair. It just seems like that. The problem is that people keep focusing on the negative things. When everything is going wrong, they just like to forget all the good things in their life.

Why do you despise everything else?

Besides how are you gonna give up? Just sit in an alley/park, look for some food and just die eventually? Now what would that prove? That you can never do it and your a quitter? Well don’t go down that road. You got some good years left in you, make the most of it
