There are instances in my life that I get tired of living. During those times.. I was thinking of ending my life to escape from all the demands, pressure, expectations in my life. It's too tiring really. But what can I do when most of them depends on me? I feel glad at times when Im able to help them financially or in ways they need to but sometimes I feel like Im giving my all but its not yet enough. Everthing that sometimes I'm left with few pesos in my pocket. I feel the same frustration today but Im not thinking of doing bad things. I just want to vent out. It's frustrating! Really! Im sorry if my post is like this. I dont have someone to confide this thoughts in my mind. I have friends but I dont trust them in this matters. I choose here because no one knows me.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling that way. There will always be struggles in life and I know at times it can be overwhelming. You just have to stay strong and keep moving forward. Life is precious even if it is hard.

I agree with Laurel(L-B) - life is precious even if it is hard. Hang in there - "behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining"

It is a pity that you have such thoughts. I have learned that life is a miracle itself and we must see it that way and cherish it. When we are young we tend to get emotional when we have frustrations. But as we get older, we discover that even the posibility of watching a flower is something to be thankful about.

@marguicha Yup. That is why I choose to vent my frustrations here because I know that someone will listen. I dont really need advises, just needed someone to hear me out but I do really appreciate those who shared their thoughts.

It is good to vent here. Others might be feeling the same things you are. Life is not always easy and people often need others to just listen.

I'm sorry to hear that.but most of us here can easily relate to what you are going through at present. The fact is everyone is overburdened by some or the other responsibility in life so please be calm and patient. Take life happily as a challenge and have faith in God

I too have had similar thoughts during certain days in my life. I can empathize with your frustration. But, based on what you say here, I don't have to know you to be able to give you some real helpful advice. Don't be so hard on yourself. From what you indicated here in your discussion, you are a person who has people who look up to you and depend on you. I have a friend who has been looking after his brother's welfare for years. His brother has always needed his help. He gives it even when he has little or no money to spare. The main thing is, that if you feel you have been giving all the time and not receiving anything maybe it's time you start doing some things to help yourself. Certainly thinking about wanting to end things is a cry for help and I want to let you know, things will get better only if and when you decide to love yourself and be honest with those who are expecting things from you. If they don't appreciate your help then maybe you need to tell them it's time for them to do some things for themselves. Nobody needs to suffer in order to help others. There are certain things they can actually do for themselves. Have you ever heard the old saying, 'Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.' ? Well it applies here.

You're right! Someone has already told me that I should love myself more and not give everything to someone. But sometimes I cant help it coz I also feel sad when I cant give to them what they need.
