Do you ever feel like giving up?

quite often..but for some reason, I never do...

I had a difficult challenge in my life and I almost gave up, for an instant I almost ended it, but I survived and I am now a snowball going downhill gathering might for the good.

I surely do at times... life gets so hard that a lot of the time you just cant see a way to make your life better, nor any easier.... But, always find a way to keep going.....

sometimes you get discouraged but then you dont ever actually give up completely.

All the time, everyday. But in the great words of Winston Churchill... Never, never,never, never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never, give up.

of course as the human , felt many times.. i wish...and would ve , couldve..some regrates and often feeling down... but never gave up and never will as long as i live...

Yes....but tooo self-indulgent.

Think about it.....we dont live in war torn or famine parts of the world

of course i do. so much is happening in my little world, and in the general world around us. it's hard to not sometimes think that it would be easy to just give up so we wouldn't have to deal with everything that we go through. the easy way out.
but then i just go someplace tranquil like sitting outside on my friends porch with her and our other friends. just laughing and watching the sun go down. everything's so peaceful and even if it's just for a little while, everything seems to be worth it if i have those few moments of peace.

I have done in the past. Not so much now. It's always tempting to give up when you feel you're not in control of your life.

Always! But everytime i feel that way, something happens that makes me realise I have a purpose in life-no matter how insignificant-and that someone always needs you-for advice, support, love, etc. I also realise that without me, the world (or my small part of it) would be affected by my absence! I believe that no matter how tough life gets, how many hurdles are thrown in my way, or how unloved i sometimes feel-that i'm not ready to give up yet-and i will never be ready to give up-I'm not a quitter!!!!!

Yes I do. I think that everybody does at some points in their life. I never have (not completely anyway). I have "surrendered" to the tides, currents, and storms and just "rode it out". They always passed and I recooperated from the contant struggling enough to "swim" on for another day.

(eye roll) Everyone is soooo inspirational here! Sheesh!

No ever says, "Yes! And I did!"

Well, yes. And I did.

Sometimes surrendering to the misery is just God's way of saying, "Good! I'm glad you realized I have a plan for your life...and being happy isn't part of it."

All the time!!!!

How can you give up when your heart is still beating? when you get thirsty you have to drink when you get hungry you have to eat? are you going to stop doing this?yes i felt like giving up but noone can until thier laying in thier deathbeds.?

yes, and at the most critical time in my life I gave into this feeling and it made my life 100 times worse- even a thousand times worse. So don't ever ever ever do it no matter how bad your life seems. Sometimes your life really isn't as bad as it feels or as bad as it seems and you may not realize this until you lose everything. When you have this feeling, as yourself if you are actually on track going somewhere. It may not seem like the place you actaully want to be or there may be annoying people you have to put up with. But if you are actually on a track going anywhere at all rather than at a deadend than be grateful and stay on that track. Count all your blessings and be thankful for each one.

If I knew what I know now I would never have given up, ever. That is, that most of the time what you feel is not actually how it is (ie you may feel stupid but you are not, you may feel ugly but you are actually not, you may feel that everyone around you is better off than you are, but no matter how much it appears that way they are not, the list goes on), and most of what is right in our life we take for granted and don't realize how much it contributes to keeping our life together. And finally I believe in a God who ultimately is in control of good peoples' lives and who sees the entire history (all the centuries in the past, the current century and all the future centuries) as if the entire picture has already been completed, and if you can see it that way too it will be helpful to you. IE the high school students who actually become lawyers and doctors, do not say to themselvesm 'I am going to become a doctor'- they say to themselves and understand themselves already to be doctors, but realize they need the training of course in order to be good at what they do and in order to practice. This is the same for anything at all. And if I had known this I would never have given up.

So yes I have felt like giving up, and I even did give up. And now, though it is too late for me in some regards I always warn others to never ever give into this feeling. If you do you are giving into a lie.

When havent it felt like that

Often, but I am also a terrible procastinator.

who doesn't? Especially during really, really bad times, you just feel like screamin' and goin' away, or even crying, but you just can't. At the end of the day, it's you who loses if you give up. You just have to stay strong through it all---coz if things aren't okay right now, then, it means that it isn't the end. There's always hope--even a li'l speck of it.

I've gone one further, and actually tried to do it. However, I find myself woefully indefatigable.
