My life has been great. So, no, my friend, I have not wasted my life. HOWEVER, if I keep on spending time in Yahoo Answers, I'll DEFINITELY waste a portion of it.

Yes I have and probably will again, being only human. It usually happens after I've done something that makes me feel like a complete fool everytime I think about it! Whatever has happened to you probably isn't as bad as you think it is right now and you'll live through it one way or another, Talk to pinkstealth there. She looks like she's got her ears on and waiting for you.

Oh, I felt so terrible when I turned twenty - I wasn't a teenager any more, and felt things couldn't get any worse.\nIt was a major loss, I thought, of hope. I hadn't a clue how life operated! How could I? (Imagine asking a baby what they think of a discussion forum that gives you actual options?!) \n\nI thought I was supposed to be starring in the movie of my life by then, and if not, I was probably too ugly and stupid to be allowed to live. At twenty years of age, I was pretty amazed that people didn't throw rotten fruit at me in the street! I grew up thinking that now I was twenty, I had to wear navy nylon clothes, crisp white blouses, horrible shoes, and be a predictable adult. Or else be famous and be allowed to make my own rules - too late for that <g>. \n \nBut thirty was no problem, I liked my life and new career a lot better by then! I'd gained more than I'd lost, had made  good friends whom I still have. I'd outgrown the users and the naggers, and had the confidence to let them go gently, in a friendly way. And I was way too busy to be bullied by dominant people, or wonder or worry what was expected of me. I realised that if you are happy and busy, you don't feel the burning need to conform or go around telling everyone what you expect of them.\n \nThis annoyed my mother so much that she actually told me that I had disappointed her - that she still expected me to marry a glamorous and famous person! \n\n(Oh, if only she had spelt this out to me when I still thought she knew best and wanted the best for me! Pity about her ; )\n\nOne of my neighbours is eighty-two. She has so many interesting things going on, and has outlived anyone who annoyed her - she really enjoys life! I managed to catch her in last week, and asked her what it was like to be eighty-two. She laughed for a full minute and said "Well, when you consider the alternative!" Yes, there is life after thirty! \n\nMy aunt loved music, worked full-time, and took care of her mother all her life, and then went deaf. She just took early retirement and started dating! He made her admit that she couldn't hear well, she bought a hearing aid and they travel a lot to opera weekends. \n\nHey, there's hope for us all! : )

i used to... but not anymore..because i found that there is still an opportunity for me to make things get better and here i am i get what i want..get what i deserve and what i wished for. its just a matter of time to get over it and do other things that's is much more better than hating your own life. people hate their life just because they did something wrong or something bad or horrible things had happened or something that made them felt useless or hopeless...that they regret of living.. but as time passes quickly..they will get over it soon... just try to find a way that makes you feel better then everything will be fine... :)

I know exactly what you are saying.Often times feeling like a rat on the wheel. Some days I run and run and at the end of he day I ask myself why I did this again?? I am a divorced mother of three daughters whose father for ten years has not supported them. So I am there everything. Knowing now exactly what i want in life but it doesnt exist. Noone today seperates there lives into compartments and feeds each aspect the sould needs. We all did it in college. We were organized and prioritized and took those much needed breaks but as adults we run and run for what?? When you die that money wont go with you. God will ask us what good did we do?? I want to enjoy and know that I lived life not let my life pass me by. Only yesterday it seems i was a child with no reponsibilties and obligations and today is different. It goes faster than you reliaze and as u get older its quicker. Live your life!!For those of us who can nolonger. Dont make the same mistakes I did.

First of all, listen to the mystic man!  He is absolutely right.  Thoughts of suicide are frequent in times of desperation and anger.  It isn't a way out, it's a way into something that you know nothing about.  It feels like you are saying to the people who have failed you, "See!  Look what you finally did!!  Don't you feel terrible about the way you made my life so unhappy?"  It's a feeling like you will get the last word.  It won't be viewed that way by your friends and family.  They will say things like, "We did the best we could, we can't help it if he/she went crazy and did something like this.  He / she must have  been on drugs or in the wrong crowd."  Then you will never have your chance to prove them wrong!!    \n\nBe strong for now, we never know why we are put through the things that we are put through.  Later in life, maybe you can help some one in a position like yourself.  You can overcome what is going on now.  DO NOT let them win by breaking who you really are.  I am e-mailable, feel free to e-mail me if you wish, I just hate to see some one give up when you haven't really even started your life yet.   \n Please call one of the hotlines if you think you are in need to that one of the other people listed for you.  Just do not do anything rash that you will regret.  You may have a great future waiting for you!!   Most strong people who are very successful are that way for a reason.  You would be surprised at the people who over came the past and went on to have a life filled with success and happiness.

I didn't need rescucitatation, but I almost died.\n\nBooma & devilish_vlue are right, there was complete nothingness, but it still made me feel weird afterwards, like maybe I should have died and that somehow I was given a second chance.\n\nI have mended my old ways, but slowly. I know something or someone is looking after me.

ive felt like this soo many times in life....for a long time i wallowed in it, wondering what to do. then i started finding things to occupy my mind, like i started exercising by myself, or you know reading and stuff. life sometimes is funny, like you go through things that are sooo miserable, but then later in life, its like wow, that really made me appreciate any piece of happiness i get....i am a better person, and more compassionate i think because i went through some rough times when i was younger.

Are you lazy?\nLook here:

I'd much rather regret what I've done than what I haven't done.  At least I can go through and rationalize my choices in the past and ease my conscience about things I've done.  I find myself realizing so many things that I would have liked to have done and didn't, and it becomes clear that I've recently changed my perspective to be more willing to take the chances and live life fully rather than sit on the sidelines regretting what I never did...
