I need answers

[Lizz_alva]

I've grown into the stage where I'm starting to question the point of life in general. Why am I in this body? Why am I existing in 2018? Why was I born? What If I wasn't born? Is there an afterlife? Is death a total nothingness? When will this world reach its end? All of these questions have been on my mind constantly for the past few months. It's consuming me and It's changing me into a complete different person than what I once was. I want to be happy, I want to live my life with joy. I want to live without worries, but I find all of that nearly impossible because I know in the end that my happiness wont matter because I won't ever revisit my life after I have died. I need desperate help. I'm reaching out to this community in hope that it will make me feel like "me" again. I want my life back.

I thought like that years ago and it did nearly drive me completely insane. My friends could keep up with me anymore. I suddenly had a thirst for knowledge and wanted to unlock all the answers of the universe. I had to stop thinking like that because i had a conspiracy for everything and did nearly completely lose myself. These days i keep it as simple as i can. Is there food in the fridge? Is there fuel in my car? Is there money for rent? Cause realy thats all i needed to know i dont need to know shit that serves me no perpose in life. Like who shot JFK its not like i can do anything to change it. The best thing to do if you are craving knowledge is to pick a subject and stick with it that way you can possibly turn it into a job and meet like minded people. Dont over think things cause some of those thoughts may never leave

Are you able to focus just on the present? Tomorrow isn't here yet, try to feed your mind with positive thoughts. It really does help. I'm here for you. Have a beautiful day my friend. Love, peace, joy, light & hugs!!!

Hi, Lizz. Sorry that you are feeling so negative. I am somebody who recovered from depression. It is possible if you have the one off sort and if you have a long term problem you can do things to help yourself. What you are questioning is deep existential stuff. Firstly, is this really necessary? Life still goes on whether or not we have figured out the meaning of it. Secondly, the areas that usually deal with these kind of answers are faith-based. If you are feeling a call to examine this then I would say, "Go for it". Please ignore any well meaning but atheistic friends. Your spiritual path is your own business. It is your life. I would advise also to ground yourself in less esoteric matters: a practical house or yard project, helping somebody less able with theirs ( it feels good to do this stuff, really good) or volunteering if you have time. Work on the low feelings: enjoyable exercise, stick the headphones on and go for a long hike, a new item of clothing or hairstyle can go a long way to lift oneself, lose yourself in a book, also time spent with animals or in nature is great. Dont forget healthy food and being nice to yourself. See this time as a repositioning of your life. Adopt the 'regime of happiness' (that is all of the above and the things we have to do to stay well). Explore your spiritual path and just keep walking, hon. Things do change even though it may not seem like it. Be brave and try new things. Sometimes our heads tell us lies. When you are better you will look back on this and see it for what it was. I wish you luck and I am sending you a virtual hug over the Atlantic / fibre optic cables. (I'm in UK). Also if it feels overwhelming, talk the feelings out with somebody. Keep on trucking, lady cos things can change.

Thank you so much. Your advice has made me consider a lot of things that I should do to better my situation. I appreciate your kind words

I don’t know what I would do without Jesus to hold my hand through all the dark tunnels of anxiety! He is there and will help just reach out to Him. I know there is an after life and it is Hea ven😍😍

Hi there, I do believe everyone is born with a purpose though we may not know what that purpose is for most of our lives (speaking for myself). I've concentrated on this for awhile at some point myself and for me, I started asking myself what is it that I like to do? What stirs up my heart and gets me fired up? Another question I asked myself is what would I do even if I wasn't getting paid to do it and I had to do it everyday? Once I answered those questions, I began trying to obtain the skills and knowledge in order to fulfill my purpose (going back to school). There is so much you can do right now as you are thirsting for more knowledge. Take this time to talk to people from various walks of life, culture, etc. I love to read. If you love reading, there are so many books that you can read about various religions. I'm a Christian so I have the Bible as my book to read but I also like to educate myself about other religions and their traditions and values. I believe there is a reason why you are feeling this way at this stage of your life. If you can get to a place where your thoughts are not consuming you, than you can achieve a sense of peace, calmness, and joy. There are many meditation techniques you can try which may help align your mind, body, and soul.
