Sounds like you're not in a good frame of mind today...Depressed.

Have you found a Therapist to talk to? He/she could really help you cope with the daily crap life throws our way.

Start a daily journal and get those negative thoughts out of your mind. It will help you feel better.

Keep posting and hope you feel better.

U try and make your mark in the world or at least a difference in someone life.....


they should really put a warning label on the ages of 19-25! when you are realizing that you have to do something with your life, you neeeed to get out from under your parents eye, yet you are treated like a child, but expected to act like an adult. It feels like a no-win situation..... But seriously, it will get better.

try to stay semi-positive.

the point in life is to enjoy it.

if something is wrong, then fix it. but come on, lighten up and enjoy what you have or else you're already dead.

sorry if that sounds harsh but u need to buck up and appreciate the time that you are here.

mr. 72... is it your mom? is she still harshing on you? i don't understand your other thread... it seemed you had to answer to your mom. do you still live under her roof? how old are you? i hated my dad, he was a jerk. parents are right all the time. if you're frustrated, seriously consider taking night classes and working to be able to support yourself and get out of her house. be on your own. sit and try to figure out what's cr*p in your life and what you need to do to get rid of it. take each step and you'll pull yourself out of this. i always say, you never know how strong you truly are until you go through the hardest times. just buck up and show yourself how strong you can be and make it (life) worth it for you.

The famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said something like this in his book "The Steppe Wolf": "Knowing that you can end your life at any time should make it easier for you. Death is like a bird standing on your shoulder. "

So you can just live and see what happens next, be curious, don't take life so seriously, and try to have fun as much as you can. Once you get past your dark thoughts and depression, life will have more sense in your eyes.

I think there are fundamentally three choices.

1. Accept that life is basically pointless and enjoy it while it lasts.

2. Find God and accept what religion tells you the meaning of life is.

3. Make something up.

Precise, concise, useful, and with a dash of humor.

yep, that bird will do his best to crap on it from time to time, and you can either just laugh it off and clean up the bird crap, or you can let yourself fixate on the fact that there's bird doo on your shoulder, so much to a point that nothing else matters ...

what's the point of life? to live and love as hard as possible, IMHO. The low points are important because there is usually a lesson involved, some gleaning of understanding or learning, but they're not the be-all, end-all of your life's journey even when they threaten to overwhelm you.

it may suck right now, but it won't always. Simply because that would be impossible.

Your life has a purpose, you just haven't found it yet. EVERYONE has a purpose in life.

Whatever you're going through, you can make it. Don't give up. Call a friend or a suicide hotline. I hope you feel better.....

Why does there have to be a purpose?

It seems like many people spend their lives searching for a purpose -- why does there have to be one? Isn't life itself enough?
