Does anyone here have thoughts like I hate my life or I can’t do this anymore or why me? Just wanna know I’m not the only one. I am taking Zoloft but for some reason the singular thought “I hate my life” comes at random times and won’t go away idk if anyone has advice for dealing with these thoughts. They really suck.

I understand. Many times I say I hate my life. I cant think of a time I was happy. From sexual abuse at three to physical abuse in two marriages, to homelessness, addiction and now kids that are depressed not to my surprise. I wake up every morning and see my husband sleeping who has been unemployed for over 800 days when all I want is a day off since I worked from fourteen til now. I somehow keep pushing through because I have no choice but to love and support my family. I am stronger than them and need to be there for my kids and husband. What is the alternative? Death. Not me. I am a fighter and will keep caring for those that I love til the day I die.

I'm sorry you are down but we have to keep going and look for better days. They may not come but I will keep my faith and do my duty until I die.

I get those thoughts also. I wouldn't kill myself, though, because I would never hurt my kids that way. When I think about it, I know I could never do it because it would hurt my family so much. I have to keep going for them.

I think it helps to make plans to get out of the house early the next day so I have that on my mind when I wake up. I like to take a book and a snack to the park. Fresh air helps for me. I hope you find things that make you happy and enjoy them as often as possible. Music helps too. As I write this I feel sympathy for your situation and I hope you feel better soon.

I have had some days lately where I feel like I just can’t take anymore. Sometimes it feels like life is just caving in on you and it’s overwhelming. I think the best thing is to keep putting one foot in front of the other and pushing through. One step at a time. One day at a time. Don’t lose faith in yourself.

I definitely have had those invasive thoughts that ring around all day in my head. It’s exhausting!! This is first day I’ve been free of this in a long, long time.

hi axiousoutcast, you are not alone. I am here to tell you that there is a way out from those lies that come to our minds. those thoughts are meant to steal our sanity, kill every relationship you have and destroy everything in your life. This is not the real you or who you were created to be. that goes for anyone. we were not created to live in tournament. I urge you to focus on your positive talents. I am speaking life into you right now so that you can begin your healing process. You can do this. you are worthy of every effort you make. here for you. I speak from experience. I am a survivor of 3 major deep depressions with high level anxiety and panic attacks. I am a regular person who can do this, then you can be an overcomer too.
