What is there to live for?

Question

I hate myself. I have no friends, I have adhd and I can't concentrate on anything. I was told I have a mild form of autism. I am living in a town full of people on welfare that are very mean, I am moving and I have to start over again, for the eleventh time. I am going to be a senior at a new school, and I moved in every grade of highschool. I have nothing in common with anyone but adults. I hate my father. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up. I thought I understood life after my accident when I almost died, but I guess not. I hate myself.

Answer 1

I am truly sorry you are feeling this way.  I have had similar reoccurring feelings - So, what do I think there is to live for?  I have found that my life is most meaningful when I live for other people.  If everybody on the planet was wrapped up in themselves only (and many are) there would be no shoulders to cry on, no one to listen, no one to care, no one to help or make you laugh.

   I think about how everybody is experiencing trials, and I can be a big help just by listening and caring.  So, I call someone I know is alone or sick or depressed, etc...and I let them talk and then I pray for them.  Sometimes I visit them, bring them flowers, make them a gift, or invite them out.  I also try to find a scripture or two that gives comfort.  Here's one for you, it's a prophecy about earth's new King: Psalm 72:12, 13 - "He will deliver the poor one crying for help, also the afflicted one and whoever has no helper.  He will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one, and the souls of the poor ones he will save."

One more.  Isaiah 41:10 - "Do not be afraid, for I am with you.  Do not gaze about, for I am your God.  I will fortify you.  I will really help you.   I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.

I just said a prayer for you.  I asked God to help you.  I hope you will accept His help.

Answer 3

Please seek help. You may suffer from depression also.

I did, but it passed when I got into college, and started after my high school graduation. But I know I should have told someone, even though I didn't. Maybe you just need some new friends to talk to. I have a learning disability to, but I taught myself to deal with it because I was embarrassed to tell anyone. Actually your the only person who knows!ha ha ha!

I have never moved, so I don't know what that's like. I do know I get along with adults really good. My mom says it is because I am an only child like her! =]

Oh but if you live in a town you don't like... shouldn't you be relieved to move! It might be just what you need. You know, like a new start!

Please feel better!

Ps. Don't hate yourself. WE DON'T! =]  

Answer 4

Why do you hate yourself? You probably have done nothing that would cause this. I think you need to find a counselor or therapist, someone you can talk to openly about your feelings. There is  a lot to live for, but you don"t see it right now. You are 18 years old and should be enjoying life. you also need to find some sports,or reading, or perhaps  yoga, something to get you out of this funk. Don't give up!!

Answer 5

not to be offensive, but you will never change that feeling if you don't change your life style. plain and simple. i talk with ppl i work with and have a handful of friends and few family members i stay in touch with. thats it. i prefer to be by myslef most of the time because i'm unlike anyone i know by a long shot. actually it feels good to be called weird considering what is normal. stop hating yourself and learn to accept what you can't change and learn to get to know yourself. you can't crawl out of your skin and be someone else so start today. besides no one can replace you. you have a duty to be YOU and nothing else. so just do that.
