Hey there...

Hmm I feel overwhelmed living in this world and I wonder what others’ view is compared to how I perceive it to be...I don’t see myself as too good or too bad. I do often want to stop existing even though I love my life there is also much torment.

How about you?

I really want to stop existing. This whole life thing is quite stressful and all for what?

I am certainly not “too good”. Like Starrlight, I am overwhelmed by life. I’m just no damn good at it. I long for what’s in your name : Peace.

I’ve never known anything but anxiety, depression, and a nonexistent self esteem. All the bad things I feel about myself have been confirmed by others; even my own family.

I don’t think God would have bothered except he needed someone to take care of my father. I’m no good at it. Most of all I DON’T WANT TO DO IT!! Anyhoo, I got off track there but yes, I think of not existing, but guess what? I’m a catholic so that option has been taken from me. I feel like one of those mimes in an invisible box 🤬🤬🤯 but that’s just me 😛

The catholic guilt is way too deep for me to try to kill myself. I’m afraid 😮 . Did I mention I’m the biggest wuss in the world?

Def not too good. Been through a lot so don't feel too good for much.

I don't want to exit. I love my family.

In some areas I don't feel good enough. That's due to depression.

Hmm.. kind of the same answer really. Both negative.

this life so far has bought mostly pain but I hopefully have a few years of happiness in me so I will stick around till my natural end.

I hear you kenster1. My life has not been boring in the least. A roller coaster of

events and yet each and every time, I bounced back, stronger and more experienced

in what life is all about.

I've seen the unexpected happen, both good and bad and believe me when it's been

good, it was amazing. I don't want to miss a moment knowing what may be waiting for

me around the next corner. :) xx

my old therapist told me painful memories linger longer than happier ones and for me that's true its about enjoying the happier times more who knows I could have 25-30 years of happiness ahead of my so I aint quitting.

Catholic...can’t even think about it. Too afraid I’ll burn, ya know? 😳🥵 besides, we Catholics are supposed to greet suffering with open arms and say: “More, please”.

AnIslandOfPeace in reply toSpaz119

Lol. I'm Catholic and I've attempted suicide several times. We tend to forget our doctrines and values when it gets real hard.

I don’t. I want to fight and to win. I want to prevail over all fears.

I am trying to repeat this: “It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you got to do it every day - that’s the hard part. But, eventually, it does get easier”.

We can. And we will.

I feel disappointed in myself for allowing the disorder to take over.

Maybe my path of following my truth didn't work out as expected. At least give me credit for pushing, crying, stretching, and doing my best to help others whenever I can.

Agoraphobia is here.

You don't always get credit as much as you deserve but you're a strong, amazing, awesome and kind person. I hope you smile more than the sun shines. Kisses.

The call of the void. After this study was done there were more. Many people feel the call of the void.

I have borrowed time syndrome. (I made that up.) I should have died as a child. I did die once as an adult. I don’t feel like I should be here. I’m not grateful. Sometimes it makes me angry; hence the depression. I sometimes feel as if nothing I do matters.

I would just like people to be nicer. I don’t want to leave but people are so harsh. I know they weren’t this way when I was a kid and I’ve even lived in communities as an adult where people were nicer. Everybody needs to step back from the ledge and chill a bit. We need a little more tolerance and less harsh words. The harsh, coarse, inhuman behavior effects me terribly.

This world demands us to be more and more good always.this world is never satisfied. We should try to be good to ourself first.
