When I was in the hospital, we had a group session and the leader brought up this topic. I know it's hard to think of something, or even feel alive, but try your hardest to think of that one thing that makes you feel like things can get better. Hold onto it tight too, and let it save you.

For me, it's singing. I get an inexplicable feeling in my chest, like love, if I had to name an emotion. I don't know if I know what love feels like, but it is a rising in my chest that lifts the cloud of darkness. Try to capture that feeling, I think it can help.

My dogs.

Actually wasn't that hard for them to come to mind. It would have been a few months ago. Maybe the therapy and/or the meds is/are helping, after all.

Nothing…I honestly can't think of anything.

I guess it would have to be something that makes me feel some emotion, but I generally feel the whole spectrum of emotions at the same time, which I don't want to hold on to since it's miserable.

I guess it would be when i si it makes me feel alive, like i'm actually feeling.

I can totally relate to that because i si. Try to think of something you could do in place of that! I'm trying... It is hard, we're all here for you. Hugs

It's hard. Like I just said, try to feel something other than the pain. Just because you do though, doesn't mean the si will go away. I'm only at the beginning stages of stopping and I'm so glad that people on this forum, including you, have been there for me. If you need anything, message me! ((atomicc))

In the past I had answers to that quest and now I can enjoy those activities but they don't make me feel alive. The closest thing to making me feeling alive was spending an evening with someone I like…I felt alive after that and then just felt all these emotions at once and ended up crying (the "date" or whatever it was went well mind you)

Many things make me alive, starting with wind in my hair.

But here's an excercise for times you find hard it to enjoy anything.... try to imagine you are an alien how just came to this planet. It's your first day. You heard it's beuatiful and always wanted to go there. Notice the mundane details. Enjoy the world.

My daughter is the only thing that keeps me going. She has kept me a live many times just thinking about her.

Believe it or not, psychosis makes me feel alive. I feel more connected to the universe even though I'm delusional.

When I'm having "fun". Like, when the music's blaring and everybody's laughing and dancing and that's all there is in that moment - I actually feel like I am alive and like I want to be. I'm always drunk when I feel like this though!
Just sayin'

[Grey Matter]

Falling asleep.

thinking about the end makes me alive.

now i've decided for sure, it's the only thing that gives me some sort of happyness- knowing that i won't be like this for much longer

I posted this thread with the hope that I could help people feel better. Please don't make that decision, you are worth something to everyone here. Keep trying to think of something else. I'm here for you and so is everyone else.

I don't think I've ever felt "alive". My life was and is and will be boring, miserable, and lonely. I am not in control of what happens. Everything that has happened in my life has lead to this depressed state that I can't get out of.

well, in that case, ordering from amazon.

their's nothing like sitting their waiting for something to arive that you've ordered- and the big smile that creeps across your face when it actually does

Mine is music and singing. I love to sing. Always have. Music and lyrics always make me feel alive

pain..... it tells me that I am still stuck here.

Thinking someone likes me or that I might get a job (not in my field or something that I'd actually enjoy mind you)

Unfortunately, it's never true, but I guess I can be alive for a few moments.

[the abyss]

at the moment...nothing
take care
