have you ever been at this point

hi jhl...there are times it's human to not want to suffer any more. there are times i wish that i could get away from everything and live a new and different life. but every day is a new day, and things look better after rest and a new day when the sun in shining. it's good to hang in there. you have a good day.

I am going through such a time right now. We have been having alot of financial burdens in my family right now. Plus I need some serious dental work done and haven't had the money due to paying bills.What has kept me going is the lyrics to a song by gospel singer Susie Luchsinger. "It seems it just won't let up. But I know it will with time. Gods helping me grow stronger with each mountain that I climb."I don't know why I am going through such a rough time right now but I do know that God has a reason for everything. It will make me a stronger person in the end. I just try to remember that.

Last year I had been at this point. I was so sad for no reason at all. I bunked the office regularly. Stopped going outsides. I locked myself at home. Later one day I questioned myself what is wrong? I found nothing. So, I decided to get a break from monotony. Been to my native place for a week. When I returned everything seems to be settled. A break from monotony is needed to stop getting upset.

For someone who had committed 3 suicides in her lifetime, I say I gave up so many times in my life which is really surprising even to other people, since I am a brave and strong person -- in the facade however.

I don't recommend suicide at all, it makes everything worse than ever. I guess, I wasn't just strong enough and that I wasn't thinking straight. When all hopes have gone and nobody's there to save you, suicide looks really attractive, but well, it never helped at all. Though it made me realize how important and precious life is.

Don't feel as if you are alone, jhl930, most of us have some sort of struggle right now. This is an especially trying time for me and I have thrown my hands up more than several times. What keeps me positive and allows me to hang on for just one more day is my faith that all will workout no matter what happens in the end. I have to be strong for my kids; their father was one who ran from responsibility all of his life, if I do the same what will their future be?

I won't burden you with the details of my life but just know that this too really will pass someday.

Hey jhl, how's it going? I am an old lady of 59, and I see from your profile that you are a young fella of 19. So, I have 40 years on ya, and I know you don't want advice from your mother or anybody like that. But, I have experienced feeling like this a lot of times in my life, so I thought I would tell you how I have handled it.

You sound like you could be depressed, and there is nothing about being depressed that is shameful. Sometimes, it is simply a chemical imbalance in your brain. Maybe, if you have felt like this for a month or so, or if you continue to feel like this, you should consider talking to a doctor. They are the only ones who can diagnose if you have depression. I have to take antidepressants or I can hardly make it through a day.

Anyway, if it is just a normal case of the "blues," you have to consider that you have the biggest and best part of your life yet to live. My God, you are almost still a kid! You have so much to look forward to. Falling in love, getting married, having kids. Yes, some days it seems like life sucks, but, trust me, this will pass.

If there is any thought whatsoever in your mind of doing anything to harm yourself, well, young man, you better put that thought right out of your head!! Now, I sound like your mother or your granny, don't I? LOL But, really, don't even think about hurting yourself. Things WILL get better. You just wait and see.

Tomorrow is Friday. Go out tomorrow night and have a good time. That is what young guys should be doing. That doesn't mean getting drunk! (Mom again)

You take care of yourself, and be good. Remember, you have a long, long life ahead of you!

Life is difficult for us in terms of ordinary workers. We are dealing with the day-to-day things will repeat the operation of a repeat. When some time we have the capacity not sufficient to solve the problem, we began tired of life.But life is so, we should learn how to live in such a fun find. . .

i have been at very low points in my life.matter-of-fact,i'm at the lowest point in my life right now.i feel like the world is crumbling in on me,and no one is there to help me,or at least understand me.i wish i could vanish from this earth even for just an hour,so i could forget the problems for awhile.unfortunately,i'm wishing for the impossible.i very well know that i have to face the reality.i am hopeful that this shall pass.

Actually I'm at that point right now. I've struggled with depression off and on for years. Mainly when my health gets worse. I'm disabled and live with pain every single day. After awhile it wears you down. I'm also struggling financially for this very reason as well. A few days ago I told a couple of friends online that I am about ready to give up. I see no hope for any change in my future. I'm not really sure where I'm headed with all these feelings right now.

In the past when it got this bad I usually was given meds to help and referred for counseling. Neither of those things did alot. Usually I just resorted to self talk to tell myself that it WILL get better and I can change things in small ways. It helped in the past, but lately its not. Yep, I'm at that point, and I don't know what my future holds.

yes and they suck. but you just gotta go threw it and wait until it changes.
im still in the point where things just keep getting worse and worse so i am now waiting it and riding it threw.
