i give up.

[Cassie]

i am seriously done with my life. nothing ever good happens to me, and it never will. people say things will get better, but they wont. i do even feel emotions anymore, im just numb. i hurt my self just to know im alive and i can actually feel something. school is making everything worse by stressing me out, i dont want to fail. ugh. im done. Please give me some advice.

Dear Cassie..

please listen.

hurting yourself when your already in emotional pain will not solve anything.

you have an opportunity right now to look at your struggles and pains your going through and have gone through and overpower them!

life is not meant to be easy. those who live easy dont know what life is.

all you got to do is turn to God and i mean the Christian God. read the bible that are his words! you might think this is stupid but how is it stupid if its worked for millions of people? why wouldn't it work for you?

ill admit it takes time to get real understanding from what the bible is really saying but once it clicks to you youll never live life the same again!

you have to have faith that help will be sent and be patient in till it comes.

God knows when its the right time for him to help you. say a prayer and reach to Jesus Christ ask him for help and to protect you from whats going on in your life! youll notice a difference if you really mean the prayer and BELIEVE itll work!

I've been told this advice being espoused by the previous answerers. Not only did it not help, it made me worse. Now I call myself facetious. I am an island of rational thinking in an ocean of absurdity. Other rational people avoid me due to my illness, so my friends are mostly other ill people, and most of those are single Christian cigarettes-smoking alcoholics. I can cry about this or poke fun at the fact that I'm an atheist non-smoker, non-drinker and too unattractive to appeal to them anyway.

Look into things that make you smile and laugh. Whether it's Monty Python or The Big Bang Theory, a satirical influence could show you how idiotic and absurd everything is. Most interestingly, when average people are displaying how vulnerable and susceptible they are it destigmatises your feelings. We're all weaker than we look, and stronger than we feel. Keep your chin up.

When I feel bad about my life I think about how one day I could get a job and donate to charities and make somebody else's life better. There are people out there who can barely sustain themselves in daily life, and I can help them.

Try to find some emotion in things that isn't sadness. If you can't feel happy, try to hate something (I advise not to address more hate against school, though, it might make you more stressed).

I'll apologise, that's all I have...

How are you going now Cassie? Any breakthroughs? Your post struck a chord with me.

I agree with the notion of donation i make myself feel good by having thoughts like if i come into money im going to give 1,000 dollars or so to the Royal Childrens or something.
