So freaking sick of life

Posted by account @account, Dec 30, 2024

I'm so sick of life? Who else feels this way? Like life is so useless, every day is the same, work, eat, sleep, repeat. I have nobody, I'm a bad person, I have no purpose. like why do we even live? I just hate it

We must choose life. Each day we awaken from our sleep is a gift. Each breath we take is a gift. Each day is a new day and a new beginning. Life is short, fragile and precious. Try being thankful and with all your heart ask God for forgiveness and to come into your heart and make you a new person. He will forgive He is merciful. Nothing in this world really matters. What matters is your relationship with God the Father through His son Jesus Christ the one who saves us from our sinful ways. He suffered so much for the sins of us in this world. If you only new what He, Jesus, went through. If you did you would realize that whatever we suffer is nothing compared to what Jesus Christ suffered to save us from our sinful and selfish ways. He says that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. ( John chapter 3: verse 16 in the Bible.
I pray that you open up your heart, confess you've sinned and let Him in and he will give you purpose for your life. Then take it just one day at time. Ask Him to give you the strength to do what He wants you do. Read the B.I.B.L.E, basic instructions before leaving earth. Start with the New Testament. The Holy Spirit will be your guide. The journey is awesome and life changing. Wake up and smell the Roses 🌹. May you be blessed 🙏.

Hi Sick and Tired of Life,
How are you doing today ? I've been there, where you are- It was in my early 30's. I'm 68 now. I read a lot of self help books, and readjusted my attitude. I stayed away from alcohol, as it made me very depressed and suicidal. SAD, is a thing for me, so this winter for the first time, I'm on antidepressants all year long. I'm suffering or healing up for a TBI ( traumatic brain injury- ped vs pick up truck ) one year ago, so lots of MDs in my life and PT. Lost my job.
Are you suicidal ? I've been at times- with out the final action- it also kinda has happened in my family a couple of times... Try to walk outside, Vit D, magnesium and be near people. Stay in touch and I will try to stay in touch too !

I have SADD so in the winter I feel like that sometimes. The routine…getting up early & I am not a morning person. But then I think that I am so thankful because some people can’t get up at all and need someone to help them. I get lonely too but I think I would rather be lonely than be around fools, drama and adult people(not you, you are legitimately sad)who haven’t figured out that life is hard sometimes and things could be better but they could be worse too! Waaaaay more worse. We were all created with a purpose. You are a masterpiece! Treat yourself like the most loved person you know! That’s your purpose right now 🤗

I'm not depressed or never been clinically depressed. No intent of harming myself.

Only experienced what I would consider true love briefly. No children. Failing health. Of course, I realize things could be worse, however ... overall, I'd have to say this life sucks.

@itchyd

I am of the firm belief that our existence on this tiny blue dot, engulfed by the infinite, is all we've got. And all you are is packed into that 3 pounds of stuff sandwiched between your ears. So, IMHO, I wouldn't hedge my bets on any permanent party with a reservation in your name after you check out from Tierra Madre. I've felt like quitting before and been in some deep dark places that made me wonder if life was worth putting up with the pain. But, things can change for the better. I'm a living example of that. I now embrace life and feel pretty good. Like I said, I really don't think there's any heavenly reward waiting for any of us. So, don't do anything rash.

Good luck.😃

@itchyd I too suspect that this life is “it” and after that is eternal rest. I’d like to believe otherwise but I can’t. It would be wonderful to be able to believe there’s more and also that I’d be chosen to experience it. Chosen because I having loved my neighbour well. For helping the poor and the needy. For not judging. For taking care of the splinters in my own eye. For being kind. Etc!

I have had bouts of anxiety and depression at different times in my life. When my grandmother was murdered. When my mother died suddenly from illness. When we moved country due to war. When I was dumped by my first love and took the rejection very deeply.

I’ve bounced back each time by looking to see how I can help others. It’s so easy to get tangled up in your head and to isolate yourself.

Wishing you the very best for 2025 🙏

@scottrl

When I've been very down (and I do mean *very* down), what has always helped me a lot is to help somebody else.

Sometimes life just plain sucks. I remember years ago, getting dumped by my girlfriend *two days* before Christmas -- right after I gave her gifts. "Thanks for the nice jewelry; now get lost," it felt like.

I couldn't believe it. There I was, in my late 30's, never married, absolutely alone on Christmas.

But I hung on. In a few months, everything had changed, for the better. Life was still hard -- face it, life is tough -- but so worth it.

Anyway, look around Connect. Total strangers want to help you. Let them.
And while you're here, read some stories of what others are going through. Offer them some encouragement and kind words. They'll feel better, and so will you.

P.S. About being a bad person... Don't confuse having done some bad things with being a bad person. We've all done things we're not proud of. It's part of being human.

I'm no saint and I haven't always acted morally (not proud of those incidences).
But, when I have acted responsibly and with kindness and benevolence, I've done so because I believe I know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. I've never been motivated to act morally out of fear of divine retribution if I failed to. That's just not how I'm wired. I believe that most people have an innate sense of what is proper behavior.

I really enjoyed your words, Isadora. You've had some serious bumps in your road! Sorry for those and hope your life's a lot easier, now.
Take care ! 🌬🌈
