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

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 ! 🌬🌈

@itchyd Not one of us is perfect! Some may like to think they are and that they’ve booked front seats in heaven. I hope they’re right and are not disappointed.

I’m not willing to own up to when I wasn’t the best version of myself 🤣 I’ve just tried to do better and forgiven myself and where possible to make amends.

To live and learn and move forward. That’s the best anyone can ask of themselves.

I am a retired research scientist. I've spent my time learning and applying that info. The more one learns, the more they realize how little they know. It is called the Dunning-Krueger effect. I believe in reincarnation; we are all recycled star dust from the Big Bang ~13.7 billion years ago. Is there heaven? That is a belief in which there is no concrete proof either way. What comes after? One can wax philosophical, but I hope that if heaven exists that they have dark chocolate there.

Yes, wise words.

Regarding facing one's foibles: I've given up on taking that long, hard look in the mirror ..... because when I do, it keeps cracking!

I have it on good authority that dark chocolate IS available in the afterlife.
But it is comprised exclusively of dark matter, so you really have to look hard for it!
Good luck!

Handywoman,
I'm so sorry you are having such trouble because of your bad lungs. My husband had lung cancer and my mom had pulmonary emphysema. Both had the same breathing problems that you are having. However, they both had home oxygen and nebulizer breathing machines that helped them a lot! Also they both had hand held nebulizers that they puffed on when they felt breathless. These helped a lot too. Do you use any of these things? If not, you might want to try them. Another thing that helped both of them was prayer. God is there for you. He will help you. Just talk to him like he's your best friend and he is! I'll say a prayer for you too.

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.

If you've had even a fleeting love it's better than a lot of people who look all their lives yet never find it. There are a LOT of lonely people in this world and it can take persistence, and some luck, to find the right partner(s).

How old are you?
You say your health's failing: what's wrong?

Also, very important: what's nhb short for? And why are you a fan of it?

Don't sell yourself short and never give up, nhbfan. Your life can turn for the better on a dime.
