Has any one here went through, or currently going through these life problems? I am in my middle twenties and I really feel like I have given up on life in general. No, suicide is not what im planning but I pretty much giving up on what reasons that common people have that make them want to live. Ever since I was 11 I have worked full time jobs helping my family make ends meat. So I was pretty much deprived of a fun childhood. I was born with quite a few medical problems like a heart murmur. I have only dated once my whole life, and it seems I lack everything that I woman could want in a man. I spent a few years in the Army which was a total pause in my life. Traveled around the world, but still whatever I do I just feel like there is the biggest gap in me that could never be filled. I have taken a few conditions that pretty much make me give up on just about anything. Now, currently I just want to make life go by as quick as possible, without any more challenges.

I gave up on trying to find romance, or some soul mate, I giving up on trying to create a family someday, I just always have had a low self asteem. Being just a tall, skinny guy. Im cute, I guess I would say but never will be the next male super model, which I couldnt care less about anyways. I stuck my nose with books, and trying to be some sort of a philosopher, which indeed has made me severly lonely.

Is it just the complex of being a rural midwest person?

i think most people get these feelings at some point in their lives. i missed out on a fun childhood too, i raised myself from the age of 4, putting up with an abusive brother and being bullied, sexually and physically abused... leading to me messing up every relationship i encounter. unable to feel love... i have also given up trying to find a relationship or a 'soul mate'. although i am only 18, i believe i can understand how your feeling (maybe in a more suicidal way though).
life sucks at times... you need to find a hobbie, or a job you enjoy or are good at. your still young, maybe go back and study for a while... just take a break, try something new. you'll find a path that will lead to great places, and a life worth living!
take care, all the best and have a wonderful xmas!

being in the midwest has nothing to do with it, except possibly cabin fever in the winter.
ok...yesyou sounds depressed...clinically depressed probably( the wanting time to go by faster was the clincher)
please do these two things....write a gratitude list and read it at least 2 times a day, and add to it every chance you get.
secondly, get "out of yourself" and look outward. help others. volunteer, show up at a nursing home and say hi to the residents.get a dog or cat ! help serve food at a shelter, etc
im serious.by looking at the 4 walls, all your can see is shortsighted. get out and live. force yourself at first, and soon you will find joy. maybe even more :)

I think you are too busy complaining to notice the good things in your life. So first of all stop having a negative attitude and have a positive attitude. You are attracting to yourself failure by just assuming that is all you will get. You are going to have to get tuff on yourself and write down your qualities and realize just how good you really are and build yourself up. Tell yourself "I know I am special cause God don't make no junk" If you have ever heard of the law of attraction start using it. Look up the law of attraction and see where it leads. Look up The Free Capitolist site online and it will help you realize how much of a winner everyone is including you.

lad - you are way tooooo young for that nonsense
kudo's to you for helping the family - and I know that has been
not only hard - but sometimes unrewarding
when I was 16 -= I KNEW EVERYTHING
who needed to be president/win the World Series/ Superbowl/etc
now that I have a master's degree - I realize what little I do know
but DO NOT give up - and one day - SHE will walk into your life - and you will be a changed man
t'is better to have loved and lost - than never have loved at all
I wish for you a joyous 2008 - all the best!
and take time to smell the roses - so much to experience

I feel like that alot. I'm nineteen, and have been suffering from depression for a while, so I've have thought about giving up many, many, many time. I had given up on finding someone for me, but I ended up trying again, and now I've been dating my boyfriend for 8 months. Sure, you're going to have hard times. Lots of them. Just try to live for the good times, and doing your best to make your life better and happier.
