Reasons to stay alive when you feel hopeless?

Jade225 February 26th, 2018

I've lost all hope and I feel constantly filled with nothing.

I have plenty of things that most people would think I'd stay alive for - but the more I think about it all, the more pointless it all seems.

I feel like every happy moment will end and throw me back into sadness, and happiness never lasts when you need it to. I'm constantly conflicted between wanting to live for the things I come close to loving, but at the same time I just don't see why it'll make any difference when it comes down to my last moments of life when the pain stops, whether that be in decades time or sooner.

I don't want to feel like this, but is there a way to get out of it?

Sorry you are feeling this way because I feel the same way. Do you have a good therapist and pysc MD?
What I am doing with my therapist is a whole lot of CBT and DBT. We are also doing Biofeedback and EMDR.
You also might look into support groups in your area and the suicide.org website has resources and phones numbers that you can use.

I also feel the same way Jade. I'd like to go into detail about the way I feel about 'life', but I don't feel comfortable typing it out on the forums. The thing is, people have varying degrees of saddness, some may be browsing right now, desperately trying to recover from what ever they are suffering from and I don't want to be an open source of negativity by posting my own feelings here.

My point is, if you'd like to talk to me, someone who isn't all sunshine and rainbows, someone who you may be able to relate to and discuss these things with; you're free to send me a message. If not then just do the best you can, we'll all turn to dust some day right? Along with all our achievements and our earth attainments. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't live.
