I Can't Do a Damn Thing

And I thought *my* life was bad. Reading these depression posts makes me realize how lucky I am.

You know how you handle this? Tackle one thing at a time - take as long as you need to fix one situation before you move on. Don't try to take on all your life crisies at once.

I did it - 38 years ago this coming spring - and it will work for you. Try it!

I love you.Dont give up.If it wasnt meet to be it wasnt.I can see where youre comeing from and understand.I bet each day it gets worse like my spelling.But listen your young and lost only 5 or 6 years younger then me.You will find love.Be thankfull of what you got.Yea right like thats poss.Stiffen your upper lip.Yea right.I've heard them all to.What i did (not saying it will work i keep slipping my dam self) is make a plan change the things you can.Job car school house and when you have that love will come.But get a plan stick to it.It will be hard but the harder it is the sweeter the juice when you get the fruit.

The only reason I don't take this down is because it still get's responses and the fact that I get replies just shows me that people do still care. I appreciate everyone that have responded to this.

I will remove this eventually as, though life isn't perfect, I have hope and goals and I do not hate myself any more. For those that have read this and still feel hopeless, please know it will get better. I promise!

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Lifes ****, I know, and i would say I'm sorry, which I am, but I know from experience sorrys dont really do much. Have some chocolate cake, take a walk in the sunshine, maybe take a few prozac too ;) and hopefully have a few happy moments to live for each day, even if thats the only thing they are; moments.

wer do u stay ll u be my friend....????? i hate myself too lets hate each other as a course of friendship and see if we can stop hating ourselves??? wat u say........ my id toreachme7 ON GMAIL

The fact that you hate yourself makes me encouraged because I hate myself too. I've been afraid to live because of what's happened to me in the past, and I hate myself and feel worthless. The fact that I'm not the only one that feels this way makes me feel a little less insane, so for that I'm grateful :)

Its okay to let your emotions out.

I realised life's been really tough for you and me. A day will never pass without me crying my eyes out, feeling like i am a worthless ****!

yup , I know exactly how you feel because I have a similiar story . Basically I go to Northern Illinois University without anyone because I have a difficult time appreciating other people because I don't appreciate myself. Hang in there though . You only live once , once its gone its gone for good. I really hope you find this encouraging.

"what a 9-5 job will do to my quality of life" - i got the same m.o. As far as the girl thing, i got the same thing too. When i got it i ignore it, when its gone, i want it. I know what I want out of life and Im just not getting it. We, me and you, are overachiever who achieve nothing. We shoot for the stars and only hit the pavement. Maybe what I said sucks *** but hey, knowing is 90% of the battle, so what are we gonna do about that other 10%?

Hey I hear you and understand as best as I can with my limited ability to understand anything about this life and/or why it is so unfair because here is what gets me the most, I have read alot of other peoples problems on here so far, and every one of them sound like the nicest people and then I find myself crying on my keyboard like a big idiot because I want so bad to help them , but I am swimming right beside them in the sink hole of life and am quite useless.

I hear how you feel about your health issue, I too am waiting to see if I can get disability since I can no longer walk and wow yeah, I hope somehow someway some light shines your way.

The hardest thing is to openly admit the feelings we keep inside. The ones we don't want anyone to know because those people would judge us as "problems" I know, I've been there. I am not trying to be patronizing, just that I know from experience how you feel. I struggle with lots of personal problems, I have cried when I posted my stories, but also I have found people here who accept me for who I am. Welcome here, you are among friends, and hang in there.

I'm glad u just sated what was on your mind, afterall that's the beauty of this site. You can say anything and because its anonymous it doesnt matter what u say. All of us need to vent what is on our minds and i think most of us do not really want to get into it with our friends, because we are afraid that they will just see us as whiners, BUT who knows how many of your friends are on this site, spilling their guts too. I know u stated that u probably wont read any posts but all i wanted to say is that i know how it feels to be stuck and hate yourself. I feel that way sometimes too. I'm glad your parents were able to help.

i've calmed down a little bit sonce i wrote this. parents can be pretty amazing. I'm still struggling but i have a plan of action. I'm sorry if I came across as whiney and brash. It was a hard thing for me to own up to and it just came out.
