I am losing the will to live?

Question

Everything is starting to seem pointless and dull, like a grey haze is spreading out before me. I cant think of anything I want to live for. I have family whom I love dearly but terribly i keep thinking, so what. They'll be gone eventually then I might as well be dead. I don't see the point in anything. I can't be bothered to do anything. Life just seems montonous, empty lonely and boring. Every time I think about it I feel like despair is settling in over me.

What is there to live for?

Answer 1

I get that some times too!  Sounds like you have some level of depression.  Might just be mild so, I hope so, try finding some excitement...not harmful .... If that doesn't work try doing for others..helping them...find someone who really needs it.  Do for them and it will do for you.  They've done some studies (doctors and psychologists) and found what Christians already knew it is better to give than to receive. (lol)  YOU might try getting a better relationship with God too.  On His terms not what the big Denominational groups teeach  just what He says in his own words the "Bible" may sound corney but it is real.  I was in a bad way and he taught me better.  I sometimes don't care about Life so much...but more often than not these days its cause I see what people do to people and know He'll be here soon.  But there are still sometimes I get so depressed I hurt too.  But just stand up ...cause you have been given legs.  Do stuff, good stuff just 'cause u can.

Answer 2

everyone goes through this kind of thing at some stage in their lives...think yourself lucky you've got a roof over your head and parents there for you.....

you want to think about those poor buggers who have to sleep rough on the streets, go and have a word with them if you think life is montonous.......

there is always someone who can help somehow , someway....try going out and finding them.......

Answer 3

Life is about the ride. I think everyone looks at their life at some point and says, "Gee, this is it?" but it doesn't mean it can't be fulfilling. There's a lot of interesting things out there to expeience. We get one go around and that's it so might as well take advantage of it, ya know?

Answer 4

Yeah, I've been in your shoes before.  Surrounded by people who love you and yet you feel so alone.  For me, there are a few things that turned it around...

Firstly, I have goals.  I want to achieve certain things in this life and they would take a lifetime to achieve.  As long as I can see myself move forward towards this, I'm happy.

Secondly, I found that having someone who loves you so much helps a lot.  For me, that person is Jesus.  I don't know about other people but I take a lot of comfort in this simply because its so different from the imperfect love from people.

Lastly, I take comfort in having an impact to the people around me.  I know that even though I may not be as well of as others, I'm certainly not going to ignore those are who are not as blessed as me.  To help others that cannot help themselves, to talk to those who feel even more alone and insecure than I do, it is just something I like to do because I can relate to them because I was there before and its a real dark place.

Answer 5

You are suffering from depression and need to see a doctor.

Answer 6

Everyone gets into a funk now and then.  It will pass...if not then get meds for depression.  Hang in there...

Answer 7

I'm an old fella 44 years old, I've had 5 close friends ( girls & guys) take their own lives over the years, such a waste of good people, I almost topped myself 8 years ago, I'm glad I didn't.

Please hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel (and it ain't a train coming towards you)

A door closes and another one opens.

Answer 8

I think the same way sometimes, You have to remember hat tomorrow is not set forth for us to see. We don't know what will happen. Try to stay strong and go see a doctor. I think you are bored with your life and need to make something happen. I hope you change the way you think and don't do anything you can not change. Please see a doctor because that is not normal thinking and you need some help. You may have a chemical I'm balance and need something to even it out.

Answer 9

Please go and see a doctor,they will be able to help you. Just tell them what you said here. There is no reason to feel that way. You can get help and be happy again. Good luck to you:)

Answer 10

Snap out of it.

I have a buddy that told me a story once when I was feeling sorry for myself.

He told me how he watched his buddy with NO arms eat fried chicken.

MY friend just stared at his buddy who was eating the chicken with his feet. His buddy stopped eating and asked him what?

My friend asked him if he missed having arms.

His buddy told him EVERYDAY what he would give to have ARMS again.

My friend then told me be thankful for what you have because it could be worse

MY advice to you is be thankful for what you have because it could be worse.

Go fly a kit with some Lil kids and watch their faces, donate you time to a battered woman's shelter, or feed the homeless and listen to their story.

Good Luck
