What do you do when you're feeling that the world is against you, when all else are not falling what is planned, when you feel like you have done your best but still it doesn't work? Is it enough to end it all?

Hi sethalex. I've totally been there before. I understand how you are feeling. When the world gets me down, the best thing that helps me is to think about people suffering in other parts of the world. In particular, I read stories of the suffering in Darfur, Sudan. No matter how down I am feeling or how low things get, I know that the people living in Darfur have suffered more in one minute than I ever will in a lifetime. When you think of things that way life is beautiful. It really shows how fortunate our lives are and the opportunities we have compared to many other people. You wont feel the world is against you forever. I promise. It will get better =)

When you are so down and out, when there is no where else to run to, it is the time for you to start anew. Forget about the past. There is nothing you can do to change something that already happened. Concentrate to make the future the best way you can. Learn from the mistakes. Learn from the lessons why it didn't work the last time. Life is a journey of trying. To quote from a wise man said in a discussion I joined last night: "Perseverance" is the key to success in life. Don't you think it is true?

You're true my friend! Past is past. It's already part of our history and we won't let it to repeat itself. If it repeats, that means that you are not learning from your mistakes. Thanks by the way.

We are all fragile. We are all weak at times. Let's just try to encourage each other. Let's just try to help each other. We all can do our part in making this world a better one. Thanks for the BR. I am honored.

Hey, i have been in the same situation like you before. I even had depression and thought of ending my life, locking myself in a dark room everyday, but then i realized, instead of making things work out for yourself, why not work yourself up for things?? I was in the worst situation you would ever see me in, the whole world was literally against me. I work hard for things i want to succeed in, and change my point of view on how i see things. It might not be easy, but you can try. I've been through what i might say the worst ever, so what can still stand in my way?? What you are going through now, is just a lesson in life. It might be harsher than other's experience in life, but hey, you might just turn out a better person than them in the future. What you experience will make you who you are. Trust me. Nothing in this world last forever. If you are doing good, tht means u gotta prepare yourself for the bad, but if you are in your worst, think it this way too, it won't last for long. =)
