Today is a terrible day, I realised that all this life I have been sleeping and hoping that tomorrow everything will be fine, somehow. Always hoping for the best in the future and this better future never happened. Now I realised that my life is almost wasted, I live with the person I don't really love, I work and spend almost all of my life on the job I hate and I see no chance of changing my life now. It seems that if I had a chance I would change all my life and live it other way! Do you ever had the same feeling? Would you like to have another chance and have completely another life?

I have had more than a day like that . I have gone threw months thinking like that. Then I realized that I have it much better than most. I have a husband who drives me crazy, but he truely loves me. I do what I can to make ends meet, but I have a warm home.
Evaluate your pros and cons in your life. Take a good look at what you really have that you take for granted. If you truely are miserable, change it. Don't live your life away wishing for something else, take control and make something else.

One can't take anything for granted in this life. I live today and today alone. I worry about tomorrow when it comes then it is today all over. Each day is a new day and live it that way I say. Good luck.

wow, I dont think it is too late. To many people feel that it is a cowardly thing when you leave a past life for another but I think it is the bravest thing anyone can do. If you are not happy you have every right to change your life. Maybe you should have seen this coming but you are only human!!! Change your life , search for a job worth getting up in the morning for. Look for your real soulmate and be happy. Search for it before it is to late .... :) remember life isnt about the final product it is about the journey your experinces to get you to your finale.

maybe you are afraid. Not everyone is a superhero but you have to understand that if you are not happy you will never be able to share your life and happiness with others the way you want to. Hang in thier it will come with time. Remember cease the day because you never know hwich one will be your last. God Bless and god luck!!

26? And your life is over? It has not even started!
You have all the chances in the world...
It is very good that you are finding out at 26...
Most people only find out at 66.
It is very easy...
You simply tell the person that you don't love to pack its bag and move out.
Then... decide what job you would like to do... learn how to do it... and go and do it.
I always did what I wanted to do... and I never had any regrets.
That is the secret. Don't live the life other people want you to live. Live the life you want to live.

I am not sure if I would like to change my life completely, but there are two or three things that I would like to have done differently.
I know what you mean when you talk about always waiting for things to get better and then they never seem to get better. I did not only wait, I worked hard for them to get better, but still.... yeah.. I know the feeling.
You know what... maybe I would keep my life after all... sure things are not at their best, but it's still my choice:)

Well, I have got good news for you. At the age of twenty-seven, I started my entire life over again. It was not easy, but it was well worth it. It is going on eleven years and I could not be happier. What I did was hire a life organizer for free. He has been working with me all these years.
He is an expert on every subject. He is awesome and amazing. I do not know how I got along before meeting him. When I say he is the best, it is guaranteed. All you have to do is call him and believe that what he says is true.
He inspired an amazing book that is timely and never gets old. His phone number is 1-800-2heaven. They say that, "If you have tried everything and everything has failed, try Jesus," it worked for me and it can work for you too.

I'm worried about you, hon. I HAVE felt that way before, numerous times. I'm also bipolar which makes it very hard for me to tell the difference between depressive feelings and "realistic" feelings, if that makes any sense.
Obviously you are depressed. Is there any way you can change a little bit of your circumstances? If you can't change jobs could you move out of the place where the person you don't love lives? I don't know much about your situation, but if you want to talk, don't hesitate to PM me, OK?

Sometimes I feel that way too. I think I have been into the wrong direction. I choose wrongly. I wanted to change something but it is too late. Like when I was in college. I don't study and cram all the time so I got low grades which I frustrate later and even affects my life now. I sometimes think that if I have been doing good in class I have been into a very good company now. Maybe respected by people if I have an honor graduating. But too late for me to change it because it's done and it's finished. But I can somehow mend a little of it to fix now so my future will become better. Even if I fail I should keep on standing. Walk and fall but I should stand. For life is like this. Our victory and success is best when we have a lot of trials and failures.

Life is full of ups and downs soleya, we have to accept it as it comes. If we had the power to live it as per our choice , everyone in this world would have been happy, isn't it? We can just struggle to make it better, nothing else is in our hands.

Every minute spent with a person you don't love is a wasted minute for you and cruelty to him. Surely everyone has a chance of changing one's life, but here is something to think about. Will you change to another situation that ends up being much the same and enter a cycle of change with no lasting improvement or will you make constructive changes that benefit you and those around you and maybe even the whole world?
I think everyone has this same feeling from time to time, but it is better to change slowly over time than all at once, in my opinion.

i want to first say if you dont love him leave him.....you are much to pretty to settle for anything less. i have felt this way myself and started over many times in my life. i have hope that the future will get brighter but like you time is wasting we all are not getting any young. always remember one thing though the old saying the grass is NOT always greener on the other side. dont do anything inpulsive make plans and meet your goals. good luck.

We all have those days, and in my long life, there have been many! Life is telling you that you need to rest and to think clearly. The feeling of futility can tell you the truth, or be a big lie... be careful about acting impulsively, but be true to yourself.
I wish you better days, my friend.

wow that sounds like you're having a pretty sad day. I've felt like that a lot lately as well. I just quit the job I've had for 7 years. I'm highly in debt right now. I've never had real relationship and all the guys I've liked recently haven't liked me back.
But basically life is okay. Look at the postive side. Feel empowered and make change. It may seem difficult but there is always choice and you have the power to change your situation.
Quiting my job of 7 years was very difficult but very empowering and freeing. I have less stress then I've had in my life for a long time.
