do you ever wish you were never born and that life sucks? do you feel it is so difficult and most people are?

Question

selfish, don't care, or are rude even family...or am I alone in these feelings..

It seems all the problems are unending and never stop and all come in groups. What do you do to help yourself when you feel like this (I do suffer from clinical depression)...and do you ever feel like this..how often?

counseling I have but doesn't help anymore than talking to anyone. I talk she listens an offers suggestions occassionally. Went 10 years--no help at all..plus only gwt 2 hours a month and I have so many problems they are rapid fire....by the time I see her...I've since dealt with it alone and moved on to dozens of new problem.

Antidepressants tried 14 of them..last one bad reaction through me in hospital..I am afraid to take and refuse them...I heard they casue permanent brain damge in animals re--neurorecptor sites. Too allopathetic drugs for me..

Tellie, waht a fabulous prayer..I really relate to losing a large portion of my life to these feeelings..it is a waste..I was just thinking that lately so the prayers spoke to me..thank you.

crazy..I have thought that too but not everyday..that would be hard, I have suffered from clinical depression for about 20 years and fought suicidal ideation for nearly evey day for 15 years. It is so hard..

Mandy,,that is so sad to be so youg and feel like that..I was lucky..my depression didn't hit till I was in my 30's...please hang in there and love people for we receive in giving a harvest of self love and self worth..I wish I could give you and all of you a hug..great people I am certain all of you (except one-can you guess who??_

yes, Christy, suffering does make us stronger and also makes us realize how strong we are and it gives us empathy for the sufferings of others....it is good you are loved so many aren't and ar lonely but I know we can still be lonely even if we have someone. Hang in there.

to all..reading these answers makes me sad so many of you feel like me as I know how hard that is..Life is tremendously hard and seems so unfair..to live in the midst of these feelings and handicaps shows the hidden strength and courage as it is a lot harder to live and deal with life's problems feeling like this..it shades everything. I feel close to you all--a moment of bonding with virtual strangers as we share a bond still. I realize I am not alone in these feelings which paradoxically makes me feel less alone and yet saddens me that others have these struggles too. I hope life will improve for us or at least our mental states an thanks for the empathy and prayer. How can I pick a best. I will pick the prayer in the hopes it helps others..it did in parts speak to me and help..

Answer 1

Let's live for the joy , and wait the dark days to pass because they will !
Loving God
protect me with
Your Love,
Prevent others
from viewing me with hostility.
Never allow
the negativity of others
to influence my life
or affect my destiny.


Oh how much good
I've lost
in losing control
of my anger;
such a large portion of life,
so much growth
I've let slip from my hands
by allowing my burning thoughts
to get better of me.
God,
teach me to let go.

God of wonders,
You've given me
the most wonderful
of all gifts--
the gift of free will.
May my will never deviate
from Your holy Will.
Guide me always,
so that all the choices I make
are good ones---
choices that are
in harmony with Your Will,
as long as I live.

God of unfathomable goodness,
the history of human agony
haunts my soul;
ashes, blood, and cries
pierce my heart;
diabolic schemes of oppressors
plague my mind.
Grand me an extra measure of
strength,
understanding
and faith
to help me find You--
to discover Your Light
midst the blinding dread,
through the revolving horror.

God, perfect God--
You created me
destined for perfection;
how far have I wandered
from that destiny!
How much of my purity
have I squandered
through careless, thoughtless,
self-centered behavior--
behavior wanting in morality
and holiness.


Overcoming Doubt

My vision is distorted,
loving God of truth.
I want to see clearly,
but my heart leads me
through twisted, convoluted paths
of misunderstood impressions.
Straighten those paths
so that I can strengthen myself
in the conviction of my beliefs.


Troubles

Kind, Loving, Mighty God:
Stretch out Your hand
to strengthen me.
Lift me up
from my abyss;
right my wrongs;
turn my every failure
into success.
Look upon my troubles
and say,
"Enough!"


Oh, God
Your Creation resonates
with holy sounds
Let me hear them all.
Let them penetrate my heart
and rouse my senses;
the jangle of a charity box;
the voice of an faithful teacher;
even the intonation
of my own sign
when I cry out to You--
all these sounds are holy.
Oh, God
let my heart hear them all
and be uplifted.

Ruler of the World,
grant me truth!
Spare me from the lies of others,
Help me stop myself
from lying
to others
Save me
from lying to myself,
and spare me
from the lies
of my own illusions.
Oh, God
never let me live a lie,
even for only a moment.

Center of all existence
help me find the way
to that sacred sanctuary
within myself,
to that precious center of my existence.
Help me discover
my place in the World--
that space where I truly belong,
that space which belongs
unconditionaly to me
Dear God,
I've wandered for so very long,
Help me find my way
home.

Answer 2

A lot of people feel the same way. Quiting high school is never a good thing because it can affect you so much in the future via career, spouse, salary, whatever. Suicide often seems like the answer, but it's not. Offing yourself hurts many people and you would miss out on amazing opportunities if you did. Take it from someone who almost committed suicide. Therapy may help a lot, it helped me. If this bullying keeps going on you need to tell an authority figure: teacher, coach, aunt. Counseling may help you see the true you, and all of the beauty you have in you. You DO have beauty in you. Hold strong, ignore those popular girls, and maybe get some counseling. Find someone to talk to. You can do it. You ARE BEAUTIFUL inside.

Answer 3

Have you been for counselling? There are places you can go by speaking to a Professional in this area - people who are trained to deal with clinical depression - by bottling it up will make things worse. Are you on an antidepressive? Please look up in the telephone book under Adult Mental Health, there are several government offices which offer free counselling in your community - from children up to the elderly - take the first little step and make a phone call - do not feel ashamed - you need someone understanding and someone you can trust.
Try writing down how you feel and keep your notes to show your keyworker. Mention briefly to your family that you are going for help and mention that you don't mean those nasty things you say -

Answer 4

Oh yes i wish all the time that i was never born cuz life totally sucks. I am not able to figure out the reason for that though. I have almost everything a person could want. I m just hoping that after I get out of my teen years, I will feel better about myself. Crying alone without anyone knowing is the best way to release your 'hate'.

Answer 5

Yes , I am an adult , ive felt that way at times as a child , teen, and hell last week. When I feel like this I try to remember to calm down and I have begun to read my bible.It truly helps.I also remember that I have a husband and two kids that count on me,, whether I am at my best or not.They love me and I love them, and more than my own temporary pain, I would cause them a pain for a lifetime. Prayer prayer prayer. Maybe you can talk to someone else other than your counselor, a preacher or friend. I dont go to church, but I know God is with me always and we go through things for a reason even if we dont like it, it makes us stronger. God Bless!

Answer 6

Everyone suffers. As a kid I used to tell my mom "I wish I would die," but ...
Today is much different. Death has been dangerously close to me. Though, it never quite touched me, and now I have ended the search for happiness...
I realized, after it was pointed out to me, happiness exists right here and now.
You only have to stop your seeking... be still inside... pay attention to your inherent ever-present awareness. Just be.

Answer 7

Up to this day I wish I was never created. I think about it every day too. I hate life but God put us here for a reason.

Answer 8

Oh yes, all the time.

And I am not clinically depressed. That's just the way life is.

Answer 9

It's like I typed that!.....well, I used to be like that, but I don't know how I made it out. I'm fine now and I love my life (not that much though)

Answer 10

I have felt like that in the past. Now I see there are people out there that have it much worse then I do.
