You are wanted and do have a purpose on this earth. It may feel like you have no use right now but that is a temporary feeling. Right now, the pain and darkness feels like it will last a lifetime but I can assure you it won’t. You’re really strong for making it this far and you do have a future. You may feel like there is nothing left to live for but there is. Live for you and your future. Live for any hobbies and passions you have. If you feel like you don’t have any, try some new activities, see if you can find something you love. Live for any memories of happiness.

You should keep living because you have a purpose in life. You deserve to be here. You accomplished so many things in life, you can't throw that all away. You got to realize that life sucks sometimes, but it will get better. Now I wish I could tell you when it gets better, but I can't, because I don't know when it'll get better, but I promise it will one day. People would be heartbroken if you left. We all have rough patches in life and this one just happens to be yours, but you will get through this. I believe in you. Stay strong.

Life is a beautiful place. The surrounding skies and nature show us how much beauty really lies within the world we live in. Our family, friends, and the love we have for one another keeps us going from day to day. Seeing relationships improve and our kids grow is reason enough to keep that drive for wanting to continue onward. I've been asked before, "Why should I go on living?" I then ask the question, "Can you tell me one good thing about your life?" The answer has always been yes... And another question gets asked... "Isn't that reason enough to live?"

Life can be really tough sometimes. Sometimes I feel as though I have no purpose and shouldn't even be alive at all! These feelings are really difficult to deal with. But people, everybody, wants you alive. They want to be around you, they want to smile at you, they want to laugh with you and know that they're there for you. Because, even if it may never seem like it, you're valued and loved. It's hard to feel as though you matter to the world--but trust me, we're here for you to listen, even if nobody seems to be.

Life is very beautiful. We might not realize it since our lives are filled with darkness that has seeped inside our hearts because of the toxicity around us. Life is really beautiful. We have the eyes but we are blinded to the beauty. It is like there's a veil over our eyes that prevents us from seeing the beauty. Look at nature. The beauty that it holds. Start by looking at a plant. See how gracefully it is designed. Look at the leaves, the detail put into it. The branches of veins extending from the midrib outstretching further. Now look at a human. The eyes. the mouth, the fine details. Ponder over how the Creator perfectly designed it.

Even though sometimes we feel as if we shouldn't live we all have a reason to live. Living can help us give hope and be an example to others who might not want to live. When we stay alive we can grow and improve on ways we can handle these emotions. By living we give others a reason to live because if we are dead sometimes it won't give courage for the others who want to die. Your presence is very needed on earth. You change the world whether or not you can see that. There are always setbacks but when we grow from those setbacks we see a whole new world ahead of us.

Good question. Sadly I'm in the same boat you are. I finally decided to say screw it all and I got myself a VR headset to escape this horrible world entirely whenever I need to, which is every day. This world ceases to exist once I put the VR on and I wear my headphones. It's the only place I feel I have any control over what happens. It helps me forget all of the evil this world keeps spewing out. If that doesn't do it for you try wearing earphones playing nature sounds while wearing a blindfold up you can't see. It won't help you find a reason to live, but it can take you out of the moment so you can forget about life for a while.

There are many reasons and I am concerned that you need more assistance than what I am trained to provide. Please seek help right away from someone you trust or one of our hotlines to get the trained help you are needing. Hang in there and remember that all things change and this too shall pass. There are many reasons to keep living. Even when it feels like there isn’t right now. Times of darkness and hardship is where we do the most work and growth so we can evolve and learn from Our experiences and then we can go on by leading lives in order to help others get through similar tough times.

Every minute of the day gives us the chance to start over and create a new path. Our lives are not perfect but they are meant to be explored and go experience different things. Yu can always try to take a step back to re-evaluate things and find a different angle or approach in a situation. Life is full of mistakes and wrong turns but that's also a new way of learning and trying a different path. Every life is precious and deserves a chance. When things get rough I just take a step back and breathe and relax.

Think about the small things in life like smelling wet dew on grass. Reading a book on a stormy day, experiencing a belly laugh. Feeling the warm sun on your skin. Slowly make our way toward bigger things like family and friends that push you to continue. Making a list of all the beautiful things you will be missing. Life is hard, and there never is a clear answer in life, but there are many things to live for; it just may be harder for others. If your really considering suicide, please call the suicide hotline. I also suggest seeking help. Asking for help doesn't make you weak it makes you stronger.
