When therapy doesn't work.
When meds don't work.

When you have no friends.
When you have no family.
When you can't enjoy anything.
When you may go homeless in some months.

What do you do? What can you get?

Pity from people?

I don't know what to do. Meds made me worse. Therapy made me more sad, because It doesn't work.

I live 5000 km far from my abusers. My diary life is not chaotic... but still... I don't feel well it doesn't matter what I do. (I am studying at college, I do exercise, I eat healthy...)

What else can I do?

There's lots more to try that is quite likely to work. Here's what I think is the best overall plan:

When all else fails, just keep going. Day by day, if you are religious or believe in a God then pray to Him. That's one thing that I have found that I need in my life.

If all else fails, never give up. Vital makes a point Snap Club does help!!

Well, I am not religious...

Why keep going?

Why?

What's the difference between dying now or later?

It is the same...

more time more suffering.

That's okay if your not religious, but I would encourage you to reach out!! I'm a little concerned with your statement of, "WHY?" So I will give you my reasons to keep going, and maybe you will find strength in mine to find your own.

1. I know that I have a symphony to create and right now I don't have the skills to create that grand symphony, I keep going because I love music.
2. I keep going to serve people on here, to help them get through the tough times, for the good times that are yet to come.
3. Even though I am an addict, I look forward to the day when I can just let things go and not give into urges.
4. I believe in my treatment team, one to bring me out of the dark days but to help me find the light and happiness that everyone seeks
5. I know that in order to live, it takes work, even if I don't want to, I know that I can find the joy in life.
6. I know that there are people out there that can find strength in sharing my story with them to help them find the light again.

Don't think of it is more time suffering, think of it as more time doing the things that you will learn to love.

I hope you search for your own reasons for living. But just know it doesn't happen in a second, it takes a lifetime to really enjoy what you are doing.

Hope this helps you to keep going, and I would speak with a community liaison that is online if this type thinking continues.

reasons to keep going:

it WILL get better; the darkness and horrificness does not last forever
you will see the light again
you have come so far and YOU deserve a life
you could try a different type of therapy
you could try different meds
you are very much valued here on PC
this is merely a blip in your journey
you are important and you matter
there will be new friends for you to make
there are new places you could travel to
everyone on PC believes in you and is here for you

The relief you get when you STOP suffering is amazing and you wouldn't want to miss that, believe me.

Here's something to do RIGHT NOW. It is insanely easy to try and it's even fun to do. It may seem silly to you, but don't be fooled. It can be very powerful:
