Answer 1

All the wisdom and insight I get from Yahoo! Answers makes every day worth living for me!

Answer 2

Everyone has their issues. I was never physically abused but mentally and emotionally abused by my father. I spent years and years wanting to commit suicide. I've attempted more times than I can count on fingers...I don't have enough fingers. I was always told that I was doing it for attention. I don't believe any of that. I was so tired of the pain.

As an adult, I attempted several times. Sometimes I was hoping that someone would stop me so it would force me to get help.

It wasn't until the past couple of years that I realized that I have depression. To what extent, I haven't explored yet. There were days I hated everyone and wish I would sleep my entire life away. Days I would eat nothing and other days I would eat everything in site. I cried a lot. And other times I was as numb as a bump on a log.

I did a lot of soul searching and started to give to people versus worrying about myself. I started to work on making sure that others were happy, safe, and healthy. In my job and at home. I started to see that other people around me were suffering in their own ways as well. I was able to grow from everything I learned from everyone else. It was great therapy. But not 100% effective.

When I almost lost my good job, I went to a doctor and told him that I have been battling depression and thoughts of suicide for years....just about my entire life. I was put on medication. It has helped tremendously.

I think that should be a first step for you. Then talking to someone...I did that too. It really does help.

Life is worth living and saving. God has put you here for some reason. If you're still with us then there is still something for you to do.

If you ever need anyone to talk to, please feel free to contact me.

Answer 5

I recognize myself a little. I've lost my dog, Sunny, and now I'm lost. She couldn't die. She had always been with me, I had never been without her for really a long time and now I was going to continue to live without her! That was just insane too me... still is. Anyway, when I've felt like I just wanted to kill myself so that I could be with her again I've thought about my future children. Oh, how I will love them. My friend S**** keeps me going too. She's the only reason that I go to school actually. think of what you rreally love. I love: Buffy, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider, Eragon, our dogs, my like 4 friends and something more. Hope that you're satisfied with my answer.

Answer 6

I had a REALLY rough day yesterday. My family started fighting with me and I REALLY didn't want to be here to deal with it.

I called my best friend, she and I talked for a while and she ended up coming to visit as a surprise to cheer me up.

One thing she always reminds me is that even though she would take care of my horse when I died, he would be very VERY depressed about my leaving. (Hell he's depressed when I'm gone for 5 days at a time. lol) And there's no garuntee in the afterlife that he and I would get to spend time together if I give up on all the time I have here on earth with him.
For years he's been the driving force that's kept me alive when things get rough.

I really understand what your going through and I hope that you are able to pull through. Make your own life meaningful. Make it mean something to you--find something to make you want to get up in the morning. WIthout that, there's no easy answer to your question.

Answer 7

When i was a kid i always wanted to write a realy famous childrens book. Everyone has dreams for the future, just some people give up too quickly.

Maybe you will learn to enjoy your life alot more when your not obsessed with making everything right. just detatch yourself adn go with the flow.

Answer 8

I can't tell you what you need to make your life worth living, but I have enjoyed all 65 years of mine and it hasn't all been a picnic. I saw military service. I've had illnesses and deaths in the family and I spent time in military service including a tour in a combat area, and I've had a divorce as well.

My children and grandchildren have helped make my life worth living. Somewhat late in life I did find my religion again, and faith has helped sustain me.

I care about you and hope you will find it in yourself to care about yourself enough to confront whatever your demons are and fight them until they die and you survive. I don't know why any intelligent person would post a question like this if they didn't care enough to hope someone else cared. But, if it helps, I care.

Answer 9

what i most enjoy about living is the fact that my life is just that- MINE. its mine to enjoy or to not enjoy,and make no mistake about it- life can be gut-wrenchingly, agonizingly hard for most of us at some point in time.but it is MY pain, My defeat,My life.and it is My soul that feels all of it. yes , i believe in God,and He will reclaim my soul,but for now-i have the ability to choose how i will live. and the harder thing are in my life, the more i can appreciate simple, sometimes silly little things. and no- i havnt lived a sheltered, or cushy life.ive been in the trenches too. but there are also people who make me feel ashamed when i hear how they have done great things or shown tremendous kindness and bravery in the face of terrible conditions .and i see these people as role-models for my life. you did not ask for advise, and i could not give you any,as i dont know how people who have no particular beliefs in the devine can possibly cope or make sense of this life. i do hope you find some peace of mind
