I have had enough

Why are we here???? I used to love helping people and would literally take the shirt off my back for someone.... I've gotten to the point where I hate people.... I hate drama and something bad seems to happen to me on a daily basis..... I don't know what I am doing wrong anymore to cause so many issues..... I don't do well with anything anymore... I have no passion, and am just here taking up space.... is someone willing to talk to me.... to help me... i just don't know anymore

I know what you mean but maybe it’s time to look at it like how can you be your own friend? What can you do to help yourself? And you obviously aren’t going to have an answer to fix your everyday problems but maybe by starting to be kinder to yourself? Sometimes the thing that can help is to change the way we treat ourselves. I don’t know, just a thought. Also here to talk if you’d like.

That makes a lot of sense. I think when we are at peace with ourselves things start to flow.

Over exposure to people and their dark sides

I know what you mean. I struggle with a lot of physical problems that cause much stress and as a result I have a lot of depression and frequently feel overwhelmed with life and people. I wouldn't say I hate people but I do struggle with interacting with people. I too hate drama and know what you mean there too. I think maybe just take a step back from your life and try to see things from a different angle. Your question--Why are we here?-is kind of a deep question that touches on the area of spirituality. I don't know if you have any personal spiritual belief system but maybe that would be a place to start.

I know I used to have those questions too but have come to a belief in God that has really helped me through years of anxiety, physical problems and now depression. Personal problems can, if we can change our perspective a little, lead us into a deeper experience of life. It doesn't feel like it at the time when you're really struggling, but often when you look back on things later on, you realize that you have grown through them. I think our purpose is to grow in wisdom and love in this world. If you once used to like to help people I think you can get that viewpoint back again. Remember, there are a lot of good people out there. Write back if you want.

Hi!

I agree totally with tstanley! My spiritual life gives me peace, patience and joy. I don’t overreact and jump to negative conclusions like I did in the past. I appreciate the simple things and feel as if I’m overflowing with gratitude. Instead of focusing on what goes wrong each day, think about all the things that go well. Dismiss the irritating/frustrating and build/focus on the good. Easier said than done, right? Takes practice! Wishing you peace!
