Has anyone ever had so much negative crap to deal with they don't think there's ever going to be an end in sight? I'm at that point. I even try to look at people suffering worse than myself and it makes me feel a little bit better, but after a while, I just lose hope again.
Does anyone have any STRONG words of advise? Please let me know.

Can you give us a few more details about what has got you to the point of wanting to give up
I see you offered advise to someone else saying they should stay positve no matter how hard it gets, thats what I would say to you,
I think thats all I can say, at the moment.

Hi. I'm in a really bad health care system and suffer from bipolar, acute anxiety, carpal tunnel and chronic back pain. I haven't worked in years and my disability is in appeal until next month...I don't know if I'll get it or not. I owe over $70,000 in credit card debt and student loans, my younger brother committed suicide and my father died.
My wife and I got divorced...just a few things.
Any suggestions?
I'm trying to stay positive but it's tough. I'd really like to find a part time online job that makes some decent money that has no upfront costs because i have no money and you shouldn't have to pay to work anyway. I came across this site, but am not quite sure how it works to make money. I worked as a graphic artist/creative writer for almost 20 years and would love to be able to make some extra money writing. I'm very knowledgeable in many areas.
Thanks for your concern.

I'm pretty much in a similar position and I understand when you say that you feel like giving up. But giving up is not the solution. Every human is a winner and a survivor - even during those panic attacks that happen due to bipolar disorders.

Let me know your e-mail address through a private message. I have a contact who pays people to transcribe audio files that are recorded over Skype. It doesn't pay much - $10 for every one hour's audio that is transcribed. And payments are credited for work every week. You get paid through Paypal. It won't be much, because one hour's audio takes approximately 6 hours to complete, but it's something better than nothing. I can send you a referral, since they don't accept sign-ups any other way.

Just remember one thins - when things seem like they can never get worse..... they can only get better. Dont give up.

YES!!! and the only advice i can give you is stay strong!!! At 16 i fell pregnant i stayed on at work and juggled a baby and work at the same time, then at 22 I had to take custody of my 14 year old sister so that she wouldnt be put into care therefore im now working taking care of a 5 year old and a 16 year old!!! It is a nightmare and yes there are days that i think to myself ''will this get any better?'' But all being said and done the only way out would be to kill yourself and to me thats the cowards way out, JUST BE STRONG! strength is the key and one day it will get better even if it takes you a while?? what is it that your unhappy about?? what sort of situation are you in?? I can give you direction ( im good at that) but only if i have some facts thanks x


ocnprl (5)   ranked 29,726 out of 38,338 in life  3 months ago

I'm sorry to hear that. You didn't see what I just posted about what happened to me because I was hesitant in giving it out but I did anyway.
Hope things work out for you.

I always tell myself that it will get better. A lot of times i wanted to give because of depression. I would even try to think about committing suicide but in the end i realize that there are so many things to look forward to when you think about it. Why waste my life when i'm still young and i have family and fiance who loves me and vice versa. Also i know God has great plan for me. You know those who struggle more has a higher purpose. We just have a rigid and very tiring boot camp phase. So if your planning to give, think about the positive side why you are going through all the crap that you are experiencing now. There must a bright future ahead of you and you just don't know yet. Unless your giving up then you will never know what the fate will be ever!

you are a looser if you give up. God dont give problems to us that we cant stand for it. God knows that we can carry it thats why he gives us trials. just pray to God, he always listen.

I don't think God gives us trials. I think he allows them.

ocnprl, you are not alone with your feelings of hopelessness. We all have them from time to time. It gets really hard when the negative garbage just seems to hang around and stink up our lives. I try and stay focused in my good moments. If I keep dwelling on my situation, I will get so depressed I feel I can't function. It may sound trite, but there is a light at the end of the crap tunnel. My motto lately has been "If I am breathing, everything will be okay". Take a look at all the good things in your life. They may not out-weigh the negatives right now, but it is a start. Please don't lose hope.


ocnprl (5)   ranked 29,726 out of 38,338 in life  3 months ago

Thanks for the encouragement and compassion. I hope things get better for you as well.

Hi Ocnprl

Your topic is a good one although not the easiest thing in life to deal with but it happens to all of us at some point in time .

I look at it this way because I too used to deal with anxiety and depression at times in my life when I thought to myself (can things get any worse?) I won't go into to much detail about what was going on with me because I would surely take up way to much time and it would take so much typing I could write a novel but I will say thing is was as if everything was coming down on me at once I had some personal and financial issues I needed to deal with and didn't want to deal with them which only made it worse. And let me tell you financial issues alone is enough to stress you out! I had problems paying my mortgage and bills up the wahzoo no end in sight just debt piled upon debt.

It seemed like the smallest things in my life became these huge problems I began to withdraw from my family I cried a lot (sometimes for no reason at all) I didn't want to go out or do anything I just wanted to stay in bed all day.

But one day when I was at one of my lowest points

I realized I had these children to raise and they depended on me and I started thinking well I can't go anywhere but up because I am already down the lowest I can get until I started seeing how bad other people had it my problems compared to theirs were superficial at best but in my mind I thought my world was falling
apart.

Its that saying where you think you got it bad until you hear someone else with a story much worse than yours then you think you don't have it that bad at all.


Keep your head up life is tough all over the world for many many people who deal with things ranging from depression, poverty, health issues,victims of crime, financial worries ect.. you just have to dig down deep inside yourself and make some choices life is going to throw things at you whether your prepared or not and you just have to roll with it sometimes and ride it until its over because and end is in sight it may not be the one you want but at some point it ends whether we make it better ourselves or get help from others or decide to give up all together there is and end...


Hope this helps, and keep your head up and focus on the light at then end of the tunnel even in chaos there can be calmhappy

Happy Mylotting
