I lost interest to live. I am not finding interest in anything. I am fully depressed but trying to be normal. Just living because i born. I don't wanna live. But i don't like commiting sucide and making my people miserable. Really there are people who cares for me but every body is in helpless situation to over come the problems we have. I am tired of seeing people suffering and even myself suffering. Nothing in my hand or any of my people's hand to do something for our problems. There are at times we have to wait and the waiting became so hard and it's a long time we have been waiting. I want happiness. I am feeling like it's been many days I whole heartedly smiled. Everything is physical mask. Beacuse of me my family suffering. That hurts me lot. I wish it's better i get death in natural way. God it's like hell even I am not bale to commit sucide and not able to live happily. If I die thy will cry for few days and as days go they forget. But how many days lke this?

I think you must list down the negative things in your life and try to eliminate them by listing down the positive things that you have. Try also to list down the things that you haven't done yet.

yes should list down the positive things so that we can get positive energy ,when we compare the positive things with our negative things if the percentage of positive things is more then we can make a positve move towards our life . when we think only the negative aspects it makes us depressed and more into negative thinking.Which is no good for us and not good for any also.

yes some sitautions do take us to such feeling that we could die and make a full stop for everything,It happens we come to a sitaution and postion that we feel no one are really caring or if caring we dont need that as there are problems all over . I do understand ur situation .I will not suggest or console u in any way.As i know this wil not do any good to u.I will not say that i ll wish a better ment in ur life because u will feel that i m just saying this to make u feel better.I will not say anything.I will not even say that take ur life.Not even say think for ur family who will cry and forget after some days.If u really feel that u should not live then if really with true heart u ask for it,god will take u to him.However you again will wish to come down and take a rebirth when u see how people try to live with lots of problems.When we see our probelms they seem to much like a mountain,when we see the worlds or the people who live around us and try to know their problem then we can find that we should learn from them to live.I am not telling this to u,i learnt this wheni felt the same as u .Still at times that thought do come,But in a time span it goes off ,this is life.Hope doesnt leave us.

Yes u need just a confidence to overcome ur life. As every man has problems no man is a solution for another man. Our lives is in our hands so better dont depend upon others for money or anything. As i need to say that u need to experience more challenges in ur life to know the real value of ur life.

She or he is already facing challenges or faced the challenges ,so if we say still that one should face more challenges to know the value of life,what will be left. If we turn to our self and notice what is there in the life then we can see only the hard ships and challenges. We cant sa y that challenges can tell us the value oflife.Only the living attitude says how to live our life. how do u say that challenges tell us the value of life ?

Life is full of excitement, sorrow, happiness, challenge etc which we have to experience and there is no other alternative. Life will go on whatever happens each day and that is why we all say or at least i do say and believe that life has to be enjoyed to the maximum enjoying each day as it comes without thinking too much on future or putting too much pressure on our thinking of tomorrow

Dear friend, I have been where you are now, and I understand you, if you don´t mind a little advise from an extranger, the first thing I recomend you to do is to, before trying anything else, is to look inside you to discover what is the reason that makes you feel that way, maybe you are not satisfied with your job, or studies, maybe the routine or a family issue, I don´t know, you know better, maybe there are several reasons, once you do this, you can attack the problem, finding new things that get you again in the living. The best wayt o get interested in live is living, and I mean, getting the last drop of it. If the depression gets worse, you can´t identify any reason for it by yourself, or you think that you can get over it by yourself, get profesional help. I wish you luck and success.

This life will always be full of meaning if you try to understand your presence in this world. Don't say that your life is meaningless. Yourself will always be meaningful to the people around you. Open your eyes and plug your ears - see and hear what they say about you. Cultivate an attitude and outlook postitif in yourself

There's so much in life that will interest you to get on living. Families, friends, love ones are only few. You get interest in life if you set a goal or a dream. By doing something to achieve that goal, life can be very interesting. yes, there are many ups and down of life but the sad moments are made short by just throwing them away and embracing what's you have. Don't lose interest, you're still young and life has many things to offer you. Just look around and you'll be surprise to see and know that they're only waiting to be pick up by you!

I think that you should remember that you are lucky to be living in such a great country where you have so many opportunities open to you in your life. It sounds like you might be depressed if you're thinking about ending your life. You should see your doctor if this is the case, as they might be able to give you some medication which would help you to cope with the rest of your life and should mean that you begin to enjoy things and that you stop having thoughts about ending your life. I hope that you feel better soon, but remember that there are many beautiful things in life if you open your eyes and look for them.

For me I don't like that way of thing because it's a big sin to Jehovah God he create us to became more happy and love our self just like as he loves us so be love just pray to Jehovah God so that things would be good in your mind set now.

I'm so sorry. I've been deeply depressed, I think what I did was try to embrace and really accept my fate. Terrible things happened and I couldn't help and wonder why my life what that sh***, when I stopped struggling and accept it was like I was finally there, it was a bad situation but I was there mind, body and soul and all my energy could finally be use to get out. Is there something you can't accept? Maybe you can't answer that right away how about to think about it for a while? Try also to remember what was that big thing you wanted to do, something you did many times when you were a child. Maybe you didn't dream like 'When I grow up I'm gonna be this and that' but there were things you were doing. I was writing so I realize that's my goal in life. You ask to your child that one in the past what do you REALLY like to do, you liked something that you forgot but that child knows. I could be sad or happy, but I was writing. There was this 80 year old man in Brazil, he dreammed about being a writer since he was a child. He didn't had the courage to even send his writings to an editor, time passed by and he was unhappy, he didn't believe in himself although he passed all his childhood and youth writing. Then he finally convinced himself he didn't know how to write and that's why it never got to a publisher... Years went by and he was 40 or more, I don't remember. He regret and realize he had the talent and tried to go back to writing. He had given up years ago, so many years, decades! He didn't know how to do that anymore. He tried and tried, the gift....was GONE. When he was past his 70's he felt the urge to paint. And he did it. And did it well! He created his own gallery and in a hurry because now he knew, if he didn't try, he'll loose his gift. He was featured on television, his own interview, the star of the day. The reporter asked why did he create a gallery at his age, not that she was calling him old but she WAS CALLING HIM OLD, hahahaha, and he looked at the camera and told us, all of us, me, you, all the younger than him: IF YOU DON'T PRACTICE, YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR GIFT. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM. If you are doing something for the pleasure that is what you are supposed to be doing in life. Try to find your writing my friend. What did you do for fun when you were a child? Transform that to how you could do it now.

ya I didn't say that I can't face the life. i already faced many challenges and still facing. That's why I mentioned I don't want to end my life. after all my efforts for many years and still facing the challenges. Don't think that I didn't face any and I am giving up. I lost interest after all the ways I tried and still waiting. So out of frustration I felt like that.

It's normal to loose interest in life by periods in your life. I don't know if this is the first time you do? It's also normal to be depressed if you are surrounded by problems it will take away every part of energy you have. For sure is it won't help you if you help to solve problems of someone else. You have to start with yourself first. Start working on yourself. Might be you will never get that great shining life some people have but it can be better as it is now. And since you write your fmily is suffering because of you it is the best to start with you (everybody should start with him/herself first). Perhaps you are right, perhaps your family will cry for some days if you die and forget about you or feel relieved. But I think the chance is bigger you leave them behind with feelings of quilt. And those feelings will never leave them or get less. We all want happiness, but it's not something you can buy somewhere. But you do can decide to be happy from this moment on. Say to yourself: from now on I will be happy and do everything to make myself happy. That will be a fight, a struggle but it is possible. Put yourself in the middle/centre of attention and do what you have to do to make yourself happy. Start with little things. In te beginning you have to force yourself to like things again (like birds, busy insects, little kids, the sun shining or the rain falling, a hot cup of tea, some extra sugar or comming out of bed a bit later, a good book, a funny story, a memory) but the more alert you are on making yourself happy the easier it will be. Act positive, behave positive, smile (even if there is nothing to smile about) with that you will attract positive energy, positive people who will help you. It's the power of positive thinking. Say positive things to yourself. Start a diary and write down positive things about yourself. Everybody has that. Plus write down 3 positive things you did for yourself to make your life a bit easier or more happy. If this is not the first time you are depressed then remember you are still there, you still try to act normal (which is very positive) and you are a survivor (= strong person and this is very positive as well). Also keep in mind (or write it down) you are not the only one, there is nothing wrong with feeling depressed, or sad and loosing interest in life since it happens to so many people. Try to feel you are not the only one and make a deal with yourelf. There are times to greeve and you can give in and feel sad and tired and rest, and times to stand up and fight back. Surround yourself with positive people so you receive positive energy and make a list of things that are bothering you. If these were not your problems but mine what would you advice me? Look at them that way and remember.. if you only are able to chance 1 little thing the rest will be solved too since they alle belong together.

Thanks for your response. This is not first time for me to face all the challenges around me. But it's been from many years I am facing it and trying to achieve what ever i want. I kept all my efforts and Right now i am helpless. I know nothing is impossible and i believe in that. But there are at times nothing is there in our hands and need to wait for the time. I have lot of patience and I Tried and tried lot and still trying. But anything that happens every time makes us frustrated. At least at some point of time we need some positive turn . Just keep working working and no result and becoming more worse. It's not that i am not working properly , It's some times luck includes I feel . I reached where ever I want after keeping all my efforts and I lost it for three times because of some reasons. That reasons are not because of me.

Hello friend You are having a life of human that is so much good that others' creature.You should not think in this way that everyone is suffering.Everyone in this world has some problem, some have more but their solution is to tackle with those problem not get frustrated with the life.You can enjoy life if you just take these problems as a part of life and try to solve it.Some day you must feel that your life is good in all way.And you must be with friends talking about your problems. Best of luck have a good life.
