Ah now I get the question, thanks for changing it.  When you do something you know is right it's sometimes like dieing to be re-born.  They call it the dieing stage.  You can feel totally flat for a while but all of a sudden you will rise and feel stronger.  Each time this happens you feel yourself getting stronger and stronger.  Trust me it is worth it.  Keep at it.x

I wonder the same thing all of the time, sometimes I feel like it's because I don't want to surrender and then be disappointed...\n\nIt's also about me not wanting to let go of my old, destructive self.... I spent years crafting the protective barriers around me and the thought of having to let it all crumble down scares the shit out of me\n\nSurrendering means giving in.giving up, and I have been struggling for so long I am afraid to let go. What would I do with myself if I just passed my worries over to a higher power? Wouldn’t I become dull and passive.... a sheep?? I have been resisting conformity my whole life, but when I really stop and look at myself lately, I realize I am a hypocrite in believing that I have not conformed\n\nI conformed when I used alcohol to numb my pain, I conformed when I addictively consumed diet pills to live up to a media created standard of beauty, I conformed when I took a job selling overpriced junk to obscenely rich people making their living of oil (meaning I make mine the same way), I lie everyday to make a buck.... sometimes hundreds of times throughout the day, I avoid my family and friends like the plague, and worst of all.... I remain consistently ungrateful and miserable on a daily basis.\n\nThis all makes me the biggest hypocrite; a conformist to the societal roles we are all bound to play if we let ourselves become indifferent to living.\n\nSo why do I hang onto this misery? Why can't I surrender?\n\nI think you have to be ready, and willing\n\nand I am willing.... but am I ready?\n\nI guess not, because I have yet to surrender to anything tonight other than 8 cigarettes\n\nGood luck

Yeah, i've often thought that.  I've even made an attempt.  \n\nAt that time my parents had declared to me that I was more trouble than I was worth and that they hated me.  The rest of my family lived over 500 miles away, and whenever they saw me would talk about what a bad child I was.  I hated school; the lessons were overwhelming and there was too much pressure to succeeed.  I loved my friends and they always made me feel good about myself, but lack of money (and, I suppose, effort) meant that only saw them when I was in school, and frequently would not see them for weeks and weeks over the holidays.  My lifelong best friend attacked me and told me I was worthless because I couldn't bring the man he loved into his life (he later admitted that this was entirely not my fault) and I was dealing with the guilt of my biological father leaving my mother over my birth, being attacked by my mothers boyfriend and having been sexually assaulted when I was in primary school all by myself.  I was overweight, unnattractive and no-one wanted me.  I felt hopeless and I wanted to die because I considered nothing could be worse than the way I was feeling right then.  \n\nNow, i'm happier.  I've realised that my friends love me even if we dont get to see one-another too often.  I'm in college and they do not put me under pressure to achieve anything more than I can; they just encourage me to do my best.  My personality is no longer stiffled by the rules and regulations of dress, speech and behaviour that my highshool imposed on me.  My best friend has realised the mistakes in his behavious, has appologised and we are starting to move forward, hand in hand in forgiveness.  My parents still dont really like me, but we try to get along for the sake of my sisters and try to maintain some kind of family values.  I started to talk about how I was feeling and dealing with guilt from previous experiences that I was too afraid to speak about; my friends listened and I began to express my emotions through music, poetry, writing and art.  I realised that I am a creation of God and that I deserve to live just as much as anyone else.  I stopped harming myself physically and I stopped bullying myself emotionally; I learned to have the confidence to stand up to my own personal demons.

I live for myself and the people I love... Going through most of my life, I never felt love. Oh, I told plenty of people I loved them and of course they said it back. Though I did not feel it, it was like something alien to me... So I fell into a deep depression, barely eating, not talking to anyone, just sort of floating through my life with a glazed look on my face. Then my nephew was born and I ended up having to raise him for a year, myself. I finally felt that love for something other than myself, I loved my nephew so much that it opened the way for me to love others.\n\nGranted, I still don't feel that sort of love from my family but I now love three people. THREE PEOPLE, one of which I am trying to get involved with. So, I suppose I live for love really... As corny as that sounds. I want the chance to be able to love as many people as I can now, within reason. lol

I tried to change my mind, once.  But when I took it out to put in another one, I fainted.  \nI guess you feel that YOU spend too much time on this site.\nAs for myself, well instead of complaining about being out of work, I tried to find a job.  I felt quite productive, thank you.

I think you are over exaggerating, obviously everything could not have gone wrong for you, if it did, you won't even own or have access to a computer and Internet access to be able to ask this question, you could have been in Indonesia and be among the over 2000 people that died for not fault of their yesterday. \n\nYou could be among the many who are frustrated about life and have tried again and again to end it.\n\nAnd so many other reasons. I don't know what you could be going to that makes you feel that way, but try and look at the bright side once in a while, it will help.\n\nThere are times when i am walking and i hit my foot against a stone, at first it feels like my whole body aches, i am clutching my foot and groaning in pains, but gradually, the pain becomes isolated to my foot and after some time i don't even feel it any more. That how life is, sometime it feels like you have lost everything and your whole life is coming down, but just think about it, you are still alive to read this. God speed

Sometimes I feel like I am. I'm a pessimistic person and I always see the bad stuff in my life and make a big deal out of it. It seems like nothing good ever happens to me and I'm fed up with having to go through all this BS in hopes that things will finally change for the better. It's not even worth it since we're all gonna die anyway. What the hell am i even trying for?

Sometimes. I feel overwhelmed by little things sometimes because the big things seem to drain me. Sometimes reaching out to help that certain person is just too much.

Hun, we all feel like that sometimes, but its up to ourselves to get ourselves out of it. I was in a good job, i was seeing someone, i had lots of people who loved me, but it wasnt enough for me. i needed to love myself andapprecuiate myself the way they did.\n\nwhat do you enjoy doing>? how often do you do it? try donig it more of find different ways of doing it\n\ni went back to college, just a 10 week course, and it opened up a whoel new field of interest in being a cousnellor, i made a really good friend in that time who im still real clsoe to, we started gonig to salsa lessons together and wven though im too busy to keep it up its another intterest to pursue if i ever get fed up, and ive also had lots of fun nights out with her and also friends ive met throguh her. now im donig another cousnellnig course and ive amde even more friends,we go out together and do things i never do with my other friends.\n\nyou open one door and its not just a corridor you fidn yourself in a big a big great wooping hotel\n\n13.11.06 so i was copying up some notes on gestalt therapy and it got me thinknig about you. our primary and instinctual needs are food, water, vitamins etc. and when we lack it we have a hunger or craving. then safety - the need for a roof over our heads, a stable gov etc. then its love and belonging - family and friends etc. all these needs it sounds like you have met. then its esteem-  higher and lower so lower is other people's opinions of us and higher is our own. i wonder if this is what makes you feel unfulfilled? what is your honest image and idea of yourself? sdo you respect yourself? are you happy with who you are? if your bored and fed up, id guess not. why not try to identify what it is about yourself you want to improve and take it from there\n\nbest wishes

you will know when hope is gone ...when you feel it in your heart to just give up on trying. hope is gone when you can find no other means to put it together again.
