I started a thread long ago as to "Why Bother?" What's the point? Why bother? I am still doing what I can. My father chose to opt out on life and he missed having grandchildren. i have been at this precipice more than once. I can recall what his suicide did to me long ago and I would not want to inflict this kind of guilt on another. My response to "what's the point?" and "why bother?" No matter how desperate the situation suicide may not be the wisest choice.

Parus, I'm so glad that you refer back to the "Why bother?" discussion you started. Allow me to insert the link to it here:
- "WHY BOTHER?" What can we do when we are stuck? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/why-bother-what-can-we-do-when-we-are-stuck/

I especially like your question in that discussion asking for ways to get unstuck. You asked:
"...maybe some can share how we get out of a rut to help ourselves. We all get stuck stuck at times. Curious as to what others do when stuck in that thought mode of 'Why Bother?'"
