At what point would you give up?

At what point would you just give up on life? Is there anything that would cause you to give up on live completely? What if you had a chronic illness that you couldn't escape from? Most recently I've come to realize that I will never be anything more than a burden in this life. Why should I go through the trouble of keeping myself alive when really, it's not benefiting anyone at all? Not even myself. I'm not suggesting I should cause harm to myself, but, sometimes I just wonder if I should even bother taking my medication anymore.

I have tried thinking that way when everything seems blurry and i was losing hope. In your situation, i couldn't blame you. If i were in your shoes, i would probably be like that. Just hold on and live life like there's nothing wrong. And one more thing, do ask for God's guidance. Hope i helped you rethink again in this small way..

I feel like giving up sometimes because of my Bipolar disorder. Don't let an illness, physical or psychological, take away your will to live.
