Hello, Jazz91. I hope soon you get the help you need.

where do you stand in LIFE right now? Do you know where are you going?

i think i know what i wanna do (study a course) but whether i will be able to do it or not ill see. but it still leaves me with the question what is the point in life the reality is im going to die in the end anyway so why go through all the torment of life if it ends the same. I know this question has no definite answer.

i am a person with ambition that is chained to the floor making it impossible to move

Life is a great privilege. There are an awful lot of rocks and stones that never get that privilege. Life is not all torment. Really. One can quite reasonably expect all kinds of worthwhile pleasures from life. Yes, that's mixed in with the hard times, certainly. But on the whole, it's worth the trip. I think.

Whether or not you're chained to the floor pretty much depends on you. If you are chained, then you can get help from a number of sources to become unchained. And when you're unchained, your ambition can power your way to many interesting things.

Whether or not we die in the end is, again to my mind, really irrelevant. We open our eyes one day and realize that without our permission having been asked we've been thrust into this situation called "being a human being." And we can either take advantage of it or not.

Myself, I've been around for a relatively long time, considering the human lifespan. And I've spent a lot of time hurting and a lot of time appreciating. And on the whole, I have to say it's worth it. Beats being a rock. In fact, eating one pizza beats being a rock. Take care!

I agree with you there and that sort of thing is what i would tell anyone else it just doesnt feel right i dont feel right if that makes sense

I tried to shed some light on your question here: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showt...urpose+meaning

I certainly do not believe life is a privilege. We are here through the choice of others. Those others embed us with their genes and inculcate us with their prejudices. We are left to deal with the biology and uproot or enhance the generalizations, stereotypes and heuristics we must accept because we have no choice. See: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...021065,00.html

I also concede spending time being self-righteous over the vicissitudes that accompany our birth is wasted energy. Albeit, despite what some legal document might say, all men are not created equal.

In the end, I expect Lincoln is right: "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

so im on a new medication and am feeling a little less hopeless im trying to find a new job to see if this change will infuence my aspects and i am being more open with the doctors and therapists that i am seeing i am also being referred to a psychologist and if that does not prove effective i will be seeing a psychiatrist hopefully this will help me to better apprehend what is going on inside my head

and maybe will lift up my perspective on the purpose for life (NONE OF THESE POSTS WERE INTENDED AS SUICIDE NOTES AND I APOLOGISE IF THAT HAS BEEN HOW YOU HAVE CONSTREWED)
