Life is meaningless all does is cause pain and sorrow, we look back on our lives and all we find is that we where unhappy, sum say that they where happy, but they wheren't life is pointless and to live in this world we must accept that, we have found a way to cope with it all, but in reality we know its all pointless to the extent that we end uphating oursleves for what we have become, empty shells of our former selves, if we are to be happy in this world we must learn to cope with what life throws at us and not give up, but when we are alone we get sum time to sit back and reflect on what we have accomplished in our lives and that makes us all very upset, because we then realise that our lives where all pointless and meaningless, there are however a few that can sit back and reflect on their lives and happily say that they where happy with what they have accomplished, unfortunatly we all need to get through this life with what we have been given, we are all just pawns in the great scheme of things and yes it does get harder by the day to go on, but that does not mean that we are allowed to give up, for to give up would mean that every one who ever said that you where a failure was right, life is pointless but we are all alive and living this meaningless exsistance, but to really be happy in life we all need to get through this life and make it worthwhile.

Psyclox, I am sad to hear you feel like your life is meaningless and nothing but pain and sorrow. Do you really think that all the years have been a zero?

I have regerts about not doing something greater in my life with work, I mena really making contribution more then I did. Now I am not even working so that is existing for me now till I run out of money.
I was married and un happy so I left and became happy. I really think I had a good life till this last year.

But I don't think anyone's life is meaningless even mine. I do feel like I have been existing and there has been no joy because there is all worry about the end of the road I am driving on financially. But I still hope even though I feel like I have failed at everything now that I am still someone and I can give if someone will give me a chance.
You can't listen to people who say your a failure, it doesn't matter what you do at least your working or giving something. Your different then someone who is married and happy and has the American Dream maybe but hey, we can't all have that but we can be happy with what we have even if it isn't much.
No, don't give up on yourself, I think you have a lot of compassion in you and much hurt about things.
Life isn't pointless even is it seems so at times.

We just have to try to make the best of it no matter what we have or don't have. I expect to be the smartest bag lady on the street soon, I am not giving up my own life line just yet and you shouldn't either.

Believe me I have some dark dark days but I have fought to make the sun shine inside of me. It isn't always easy cause really....I see no answer here, no job no nothing. But I am fighting to gain something and if I end up on the street it still won't be meaningless. I won't be happy about it but heck I am not so happy right now in me ac and bathrom and home...So I guess it is how you look at it. You will get through it and make it worthwhile if you want to and so will I...Good luck to you and be better to YOU!!

When i am actively depressed that is *exactly * the way I feel. Everything that I see or read provides evidence of life's lack of meaning. For me, the arrival of these thoughts coincide with my blackest depressions.

Maybe time to see a psych??

[ickydog2006]

Psy. As much as I hate to say this....I feel that way most of the time. Everynow and then I see the positive affect I have in peoples' lives. Overall I would say the pain I feel is not worth the few positive affects I have had.

I can't give you something from the heart. But I can say that I feel the same way. But why be put on this earth if there's no meaning to it? There's got to be! Depression is a b****.

Miss_A, "there's got to be!" When I'm so darkly depressed I can't find it either...

[jmo531]

I understand how you are feeling. Lately, I have been in the pit as well. I am sorry you are feeling this way. Please know that your not alone.

Dear Psyclox,

As I read your letter, I felt how beautifully written it was, you have writing talent. Ever thought of keeping a journal? Of writing a book? I have a friend who is looking for articles about mental illness. Who tells you that you are a failure? No failure could write so well and as interesting. I do feel your pain, perhaps you could let it go in a journal then get it published.

well to PC Dusty and so sorry to hear your feeling so down....just know we are here for you and your NOT alone...I too feel your pain and know where your coming from...take care
