Why do I feel like I'm tired of life?
I commend your bravery in articulating the difficulties you've been having. That's not an easy thing to do, and itself speaks favorably to the chances of your getting better.Now having said that, it sounds to me like you're suffering from a minor case of dysphoria, which could be brought on by any number of exogenous or endogenous factors. Making any definitive recommendation based on such limited information would be tantamount to a diagnostic Hail Mary; and the dubious prospects of success even further diminished by the fact that I'm not a doctor (though I have seen virtually every episode of House M.D.!). With that disclaimer however, given your age (and a few other subtle signals) I'd be curious to know if you've had your hormones checked within the last few years; specifically your testosterone levels?I'm consistently suprised by how few men in their 30's and 40's are aware of the inevitable decline in testosterone all men will contend with, the fact that their levels are probably already in decline, and more than anything else, the often significant impact low free testosterone has on mood, vitality, sex drive (of course), and body composition (among others). Also of concern is aromatization, which is basically the degree to which your body is converting testosterone into estrogen. This is another way your general mood and enthusiasm can be seriously affected as a man.Hormones aside, consider taking Adrafinil and/or Tianeptine. You can learn about the latter here: http://www.tianeptine.com (that site sells nothing and I have no affiliation with it) and can purchase easily online. Tianeptine is the closest thing to a cure for light to moderate dysphoria, generalized anxiety, and depression I know of. It's also neuroprotective and works immediately. I'm obviously an evangelist for it.Wishing you the best.Christian HunterAustin, TX
I am 18, but feel old, and tired of life...?
I am an 18 year old female, a freshman in college. I don't quite know how to articulate this, but basically... I am such an unhappy person, who dislikes most people [closer to my age, of my generation mostly], and am just tired with everything. Heck, I am probably depressed, but no, I won't go to therapy, and most certainly would never take any medication that messes with the chemical makeup of my brain. I have very minimal friends.. after high school ended, I cut off all my ties with my so-called 'friends', and I have one person I would call a best friend, but even she just gets on my nerves sometimes. Now, she's all hyped up to get a bunch of stupid piercings on her ears and wanting to go 'vintage' shopping... um, okay. Good job.. Everyone in my college, old school, just everyone, only care about drinking, and partying, and hooking up, and everything in between. Society is trash. I prefer to remain by myself.. I like my family sometimes, but they just don't understand, and I know that they judge me for thinking the way I do... I feel quite isolated in the world, and I'm just tired of the same old **** every day. Is this all there is to life? I don't enjoy much. I like reading, running, watching movies, the brain... sometimes, I feel like I'm as boring as a rock. I live my life vicariously through fiction, i.e books and movies, or thinking about things that will never come about. I only wish that I could find a guy that would complement me, and then I would really be content. Although I enjoy being alone, I long for one person who could be there with me... but as I've never even been in a relationship, I feel as if my happy ending will be relegation to that 'crazy cat lady'... haha. Sorry this is a bit of a rant, and for those who read it, thanks. Anyone else feel like this? How would you cope?
I'm so sick and tired of life and feeling depressed?
Hello, um this is sort of weird for me talking about such an intimate thing over the internet but I thought I'd give it a shot since I can't open up to anyone. I'm just really sick of living. I always feel worthless and lonely. I can't figure out the psychology behind it because I don't remember my parents (who divorced when I was 4) ever putting me down and I have plenty of loving friends. I'm constantly depressed and dissatisfied with myself. And I have this strong hatred for the world. And for some reason it's impossible for me to open up to people. Even when I do feel some sense of happiness, it never feels like I'm truly joyful. At the end of the day any of that happiness is washed away with sadness. I just don't know what to do anymore. It seems like I have no purpose, that I'm just undeserving. To release all of the feelings I either cut myself or drink. i know its bad but it feels like my only way out. And then after thinking these things I begin to hate myself for feeling sorry for myself and it's just a constant cycle of negative feelings. I give people way more credit then they deserve. in the sense that I will be so nice to people and not be rude or mean to them, then they will make a comment that's just unnecessary. the thing is I'm a nice person and people tell me I'm really pretty and everything but i always feel so worthless and different. Man its times like this I wish I was skilled in psychology. death just seems so much better than life. (but don't worry i would never go as far as to suicide) I don't really want to write anymore so I don't bore any of you guys. but if you have any suggestions or helpful comments I appreciate it. Please nothing rude, I'm just not in the mood to deal with any of that. Thanks.
I'm sick of life in general??
Do you realize that YOU are not the problem? The problem is your surrounding. The topic is "I'm sick of life in general??". In this case, I would suggest (if possible) you move away from that type of atmosphere. Move to a new city or state. It's not healthy to feel the way you do about life and yourself. Women, there's no easy way to say this but... You're being ignored by women is because you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. First off, what type of female are you interested in? you cannot find a housewife at a stripper bar. You need to set some boundaries and limitations in your life. Decide what type of person you are and what type of person you would like to meet. It seems to me that you're lost and need some time to find yourself. There's a person for everyone in this world. If you like someone, did you express your feeling to her? give her hint that you're interested in a relationship or friendship? do you listen to her when she speaks? Do you make them laugh? have you tried to be "fun"? You should be a person that everyone enjoy being around instead of the one that enjoy being around others. You should be yourself, not someone else. A new start might be what you need.
I feel like i want to be rescued- im tired of enduring the life i have- what does this mean?
Yes I can definitely relate to you about life. I'm unable to get full time work here, feel shut off from my friends and sometimes even a reality. closed in by 4 walls inside my self to keep the troubles outside, but sometimes in doing this I trap the pains inside. Read my page in yahoo360 my testimony is there as to how my life has been . I've never known a day in my life that I can there wasnt some kind of sorrow pain or fears, and uncertainty in life. I consider my self limited but the world considers me disabled. People often lable things by myths or fears of the unknown, without checking things out for themselves. Sometimes I isolate myslef from life, as I feel it can isolate me when fun or joy is around me. Like it's ignoring me. So I choose at time to be alone and make my own happiness as I know that way no one can take it from.me. I'm here for you if you need a friend, you can contact me to share your thoughts or words I'm here or y360 and in the im. I'm also in other places on the web as well. I hope you can feel some peace and find a way to smile . If you feel you need to get a way from where you are. Then check around to find out what place has the best set up and ideals to fit your needs and that will help you fit in; As we all have a reason we were born into this world. Yours just hasnt be shown to you yet. Sometimes we must focus and search for ourselves, and sometimes we will be shown in ways we dont expect. You may not find your reasons where you are at. You may need to be in a new place, for it to be known to you. May you lean on God's arms and pray to Him for some comfort and directions and answers in life.
I'm 45 now. I feel like I'm done with life. I mean I'm tired. I want to know what life is like until I'm 80?
I get where you're coming from. I'm 50 and I'm so, so tired. I've been fighting this battle for decades and I'm just really done with it all.Then a few weeks back, I finally figured out that I'm tired because I am fighting. I've wasted so much energy trying to hold on to something that isn't really mine.So I let go.I let go of ego.I let go of results.I let go of my training and my skills.I let go of my pain and self-loathing.I let go of my intention to do something important in this world.I let go of my need for approval.I let go of my dreams.I let go of my worries for tomorrow.I let go of the experiences that have shaped who I am.I let go of my fear of being unknown and unloved.Letting all these things that used to seem important pass from my life, at the very bottom of it all, I found myself. Buried for decades under mounds of meaningless crap.So I hope you can take this lesson to move you ahead: you are unhappy because you are afraid to be yourself.You've lived as the socially acceptable version of yourself far too long. That person isn't you. That person is miserable. That person has obliged themselves to wear a mask every day just to survive.But from inside the mask, you cannot see clearly. It's time to shed the mask and see what the real you looks like.It starts with letting go. Let go of everything you think defines you. Let go of your expectations and intentions.Let go of everything you think is important and you will find your joyous, enthusiastic self has been there all along, waiting to be set free.
Im tired of my fuking life i feel like going to a corner die?
People are going to tell you to get into a peace circle with him and talk about your feelings. What you need to do is go up to him and take out all of your anger on him verbally. Just beat the **** out of him with your words if that makes sense to you. He sounds like someone who needs it. Tell him you're the reason I'm failing college (you clearly have a lot of stress, and that's contributing to your hard times in college) He might smack you, if he does keep talking. DO NOT hit back. NEVER hit back. Just keep talking even if he punched you square in the temple, keep telling him that you are sick of it. It wont change anything, he will think you're a smart-*** and deserve nothing from him. But this will help get stress off of you not him.
