in fact it can be also to people of younger ages, but anyways, my question is,
what has been the most difficult time in your life until now? im not meaning to refer to for example, the death of a loved one, because i know i will have to confront the same thing either way in my future to come. i refering more towards for example, the period when you just began working after college, or like the beginning of your midlife crisis or any other...
your probably wondering why on earth im asking this right? im just going through a period in my life right now where im feeling lost, confused, just out there some where and i hate it. i guess you can call it depression, but it suprises me because all of my life ive never been like this and to know what other issues that might occur in the future much bigger than the ones i have now kinda makes me think in a better way...
anyways, dont mind me, im just curious for the answer. thanks :)

yes, im 24, just turned 24 last week, dont feel the excitment, nothing of a big wow. when i was little i use to wish i was older thinking my life would be more exciting at the age of 24, but truly its the opposite. it just gets more and more complicated...

sounds like you are in your 20's? yeah. I went through that same thing. I still go through it sometimes and it is hella scary but it's life. Life is full of uncertainty. The comfort is to know that you have loved ones and all you can do in this life is hope you do something to make a difference because other wise it was all for nothing. Good luck and I truly hope you find peace about it

No, it's not depression, my dear. You do look like a real dear one, or are you already someone else's dear. Seems like you are beginning to feel more grown up. Taking up on your own responsibilties which sometimes seems overwhelming. But this is OK. It's part of growing up. May be you just haven't found yourself yet. From this point on, from my own experience, you just have to take life on life's term. You should go out more with your friends, but on the other hand if you've been partying a lot since high school and through college, I can see things like that seems to become old. But if you have not done this much, then it is time to enjoy life because you may have been studying way too hard and not partying much by missing all of it and dedicated everything to studying. This is Ok, though. Sometimes you have to balance things out between work and play, and never more of one or the other. Get yourself a pet, go out more, or find something you would like to do or something you always like but never had a chance of giving it a shot.
Yeah, I had been in that condition before god knows how many times. I never really given school much of the chance, until more recently. One other reason for feeling the way you do is frustrations at work. Burnt out at work and seems like it's going no where. If it has something to with work or what you want to do, you're still really young. you have a whole life ahead of you. You may have to go through many career changes before you actually find the right one for you. Having a family is another good way to settle down. but if this is not what you want, then may be traveling around the world is a good thing too. Go see the world. I have done it myself. like I say I never was a college Grad, but close to one, though. I've done much of these things already. My problem is now to get settle down and get a family. don't confused this with what people think that getting a family is getting a life, that's a stupid analogy. Having a family is much more difficult a life for some if not most people. It depends on how you handle things that's all what it's about. So, that's all I have to say. Good enough, yes?

The most difficult time in my life was when I got discharged from the Air Force. My 1st Sergent called me at 500 in the afternoon and told me to pack my bags I was goin home indefinatley. I had NO money set aside, 2 car payments, rent payments and other bills as well. I had NO clue I was being discharged. After I got out, I found a roommate. She helped with all the bills because she knew my situation and was a really good friend of mine. At that particular time, I wasnt speaking to my parents and they werent speaking to me. My truck got repossessed, my motorcycle got repossessed and I eventually got kicked out of my apartment because my roommate when crazy. I dealt with all of that within 2 months of getting discharged from the Air Force. Almost a year later, I have a car that is paid for, I have a place to call home that I wont get kicked out of, My parents and I are on good terms again and I have a job that pays me $33 grand a year, and Im only 22. I've been through a lot in my life, more than some, less than others. There's an old country song by Ricky Van Shelton called "Life has its little ups & downs". Just keep that in mind and you will make it through anything. I wish you luck with everything and just keep smiling...it makes everyone wonder what your up to. ;)

Those younger years are definitely the most difficult.. there are so many things you want to do and you aren't quite sure how to accomplish all you hope for.. it becomes overwhelming and threatens to choke you. Then you begin to put some years behind you and your grow.. as a person.. with wisdom and knowledge... and somewhere along the way, you come to realise that most of the things you were concerned..worried..or afraid about.. are things that can easily be dealt with.. as long as you take things one at a time. I have had many terrible times in my life.. some simply stressful.. some difficult.. and some just plain stupid.. but I have also had some truly marvelous times .. absolute miracles.. and small pleasures that outshine all the rest of it. I have found as I have come to that infamous mid-life.. that I actually CAN accomplish anything I set my mind to. I do, of course, wish I had come to this realisation a lot sooner, but you can't wish your life away. With that in mind, when I saw my 50th birthday coming, I realised a couple of goals I had set for myself long ago, were still out there to be reached.. One being my degree.. so I went the next day and registered for one class.. I have taken at least one class every semester since.. and will graduate in January.. after 34 years of trying in fits and starts. I still have other goals.. and I will do all I can to reach them.. if I don't, it won't be for lack of trying. But then, that is all a person can do... try. Good luck to you.

I think it is depressing to think on the great nothingness that comes from day in and day out living - if you choose that path. If you can find a greater purpose to work towards you will be the happiest at those times. I always experience a great let-down after I have finished a great project, or achieved some goal in my life. It always takes me a little while to pick myself up and keep on going. Perhaps that is what you are going through right now. I wish you well in your life endeavors. Remember keep striving - that is what will make you the happiest.
