    Yes, you seem to have quite some bad things in your life, but your mom and uncle seem like great things in your life, try and focus on that and maybe you'd feel a little better. My life isn't exactly splendid either, I could give a list if you want but that's not the point. My point is that even though my life isn't exactly awesome that doesn't mean I'm unhappy, I practically got nothing but my parents and sis, yet that is what makes me happy, though lacking in other things.

      I don't always worry about my circumstances since I'm grateful for what I do have regardless of whatever pain or strifes I am undergoing. :) Seems like we're in similar boats.

      Seems like it, though I'm handling it rather well, though that's mostly due to my parents and sister. ^^

    A lot of that sounds much like myself. I don't think you should kill yourself though. Maybe you don't know your purpose yet but you were put here for a reason.

      I'm hanging on by threads these days. I won't be able to kill myself, already have enough agony going on in the family, it wouldn't do anyone any good. I don't know my exact purpose either. Maybe I'll figure it out someday.

    ps Do you belong to any support groups? They can help. I talk to an advocate, my priest, and a therapist to help me through. Advocate and priest are free, the therapist is sliding scale.

      You can call any local church and just say you want to talk to their priest/pastor, and I'll pray you find the right person.

      Therapists are good to talk your problems out with and its even better if they're great listeners and provide you feedback. Thank you speaking of a local church my grandmother and I are heading for an evening service today ironically you mentioned a priest! You're in my prayers too friend. :)

    Your existance is only null and void as a comparative form alone. I can easily get scared comparing myself to others and wondering where I am going wrong. But then they have their own issues too so its really how to relate to things and then ask the right questions about how they relate than the of the people themselves.

    Well Lush........what can i say? you have soo much to give to soo many people, never give up in Ecclesiastes 3:1 it says There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. Your faith in God is soo strong and remember he loves you and your circle of friends love you too.
    None of us are perfect in any shape or form, if we were then we would not be living on this earth.
    i am here for you always............you know that

    Um idk all the answers but i kno you are a very talented person regardless of ur situation or environment u stay in. I can relate totally on alot of your points you make bout yourself but i mean i made it this far n i came from nothing. i was even trowed out n forgot like trash by my own Mom an my real Dad just walked out too....I know self reliance and i recognize it when i see it in people too and you have it. I think the economy is coming back that what my new Dad says cause prices of stuff is going up and more people buying stuff again so maybe it is...keep looking for a job n dont sell urself short. Lots of ppl are millionaires that didnt go to college--hell alot never even finished if they started so it is possible to make it big w/o it :) but what do you really WANT to do jobwise? maybe just get like a part time job at the mall while u go to school. I been looking at Arts Institute for culinary arts when i graduate high school but thats like over 3 yrs away. My new Dad tole methat sometimes u just gotta get by doing something you dont really like at the moment inorder to get where you really want to be later in life. Like working part time jobs until you find exactly what u really want or when it becomes available. :)

    um i got the whole social anxiety thing too an believe me i know what it like to be in middle of like 50 ppl an be invisible it really sux. But people keep telling me to just be myself and the right people will be attracted to me...maybe u can join some local or regional groups that do stuff you are interested in...like maybe online art group or something that could help you market ur artwork. If i hadnt swallowed me fears n took the chance to do some paintings for my foster center i would have never got noticed by my new family or adopted...it really does take the tiniest things to make huge changes in ur life both good and bad but I know you have the brains and talent to make major things happen. I do the whole suicide thing too i even have two fail-proof plans made out but something always happens to save me or interrupt me but please dont do that. You matter more than you know and you are worth way more than you think you are. Lots of ppl would kill to have half the talent you have, and the blocks you get are same as every artist we all get them usually when we try too hard. Its time for a change in ur life. I know you are strong enuff to make it and i wish you the best of luck in finding your way!! You do matter, you are important, and i know you can make it!!! stay positive dude i know its hard but if it was easy anyone could do it! :))

    oh u can msg me if u ever need somebody ot listen or talk to ok.

      Haha its how it is good friend. :P I think I know what causes depression but I rather not think about it. It's more likely Satan's doing to prevent us from reaching our maximum potential with God. I wouldn't even be here without him, more likely I have been suffering so much because this is God's test for me to measure my strength so I can show people the way out of these problems, but its so overbearing.

      Wow thats sad...you and I are both more likely suffering like JOB ever heard of him in the bible? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_did_Job_suffer or you can look at 1littledove's post below it'll make more sense. But yes you're right but we cannot do anything for him, he's completely lost his mind and his will it sucks. We don't know what to do...but I'll be praying for you ok?

    Have you tried working in human services - caring for foster children, the elderly, disabled people, drug addicts, etc.. These jobs tend to be easy to get, there are tons of them if you know where to look, and they are good for your soul. Being of service to others is an act of love and will cure depressive moods. Negative moods generally come from focus on self. The more we focus on self, the more we realize how worthless we are. On the other hand, the more we help others, the more useful we are and the more God flows through us, which also makes us feel better. I believe all the so-called psychological disorders that psychologists have come up with names for, are really just diseases of the spirit, and those cause your other physical ailments. The doctors came up with all that to focus your attention even more on yourself. But, the solution is to stop thinking about yourself, and look around at anyone else that you can help. If you pay attention, you will quickly find people worse-off than you, who need your help. If you can't find who to help, then ask God to show you. Within a few weeks He will answer. If you help others all the time, this is love, and love heals all, and that is all we need to do: love others, forget self. The Lord is my shephard, there is nothing I shall want. We are like faucets. God is the water. We need to be turned on to helping others so that God flows thru us. In doing so, we heal others and we heal ourselves.

    Lushiro my friend, you are one with our Lord in His sufferings. Remember Job? Please don't despair, you will be very much in my prayer and if God so will I wish I could help you in any way I could. You will be in my thoughts and I will mention to God your name as often as I could and hopefully soon He will come to His senses and end up your sufferings . God loves you so much and He is close to those who are sufferings . I admire your strength and your faith ! Hang in there my friend and please keep in touch. Know that you have a spiritual friend who is here for you.

      He was put to the test similar to yours! Skin problems, etc. please read and see why I compare you to him. Your faith is so strong like his and remember what I said the other day to you? I very much see the presence of God in you! And I meant that from the bottom of my heart with full honesty.

      I read Job as recommended to me by my spiritual director since like you I too have so many problems you wouldn't believe if I mention it to you. By reading Job it helps me a lot spiritually, emotionally and intellectually !

      We were given the mean to save our soul: accepting God in our heart completely and live a sacred life. See the spiritual wealth here :
      http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/A-Spiritual-Being/2846003

      Quitting or not, the root thoughts in our heart are important. Life is a blessing, every day is a gift from God to experience our divine nature. Loving and Seeking to experience our true nature, and claim our true place in His creation.

      Hell is to reject him and believe that this delusion is the reality.

      The same way when you watch a movie, you don't go out believing that the events you saw were real, because you know you were in a movie.

      With life, we ought to see the Cosmic beam and realize we are in a movie, the Cosmic drama.
