So the other day I was walking back to work from Walmart and I almost got hit by a car. I was maybe a foot from being hit. Most people take near death experiences really seriously, but I didn't care. I didn't feel anything at all. I just went on with my day. And now, after a day when everything went wrong, I wish I'd been hit instead. It's probably wrong and I should probably be ashamed but I just can't bring myself to be. I just don't care about anything anymore.

I remeber thinking when I was in high school that I wish I was hit by a car while going to school. I think I just wanted some attention because I was hurting, and no one could see I was hurting. I hope your day gets better

Depression can have this effect on people. They stop caring about everything, including life itself.. I'm sorry. I can relate to your feelings.

I gotta say knowing I am not alone does help.

One day a few years ago I was feeling pretty down about being alone for a good long time in my life. It was on a Saturday. That day was ending and that's when I felt bad. After the usual stuff that I do on Saturdays (the cleaning and shopping - it's all still the same now after all those years!) I went for my usual one-hour bike ride.

As usual I was starting to feel a little bit better as I got bike riding. And then I was peddling along towards an intersection up ahead (about 100 yards away) and the light had been green for a while. Well about 10 yards approaching that intersection, a large SUV on the other street was not paying attention and just went speeding through a red light. If only I had gotten to that intersection about 15 seconds earlier, I could have been hit right on by that SUV!

The SUV hit a car that had proceeded. That car didn't know what hit him. So it was an ugly accident that unfolded right in front of me. I've read about things like that, but I didn't think it was ever possible that could happen. After that, as I was heading back home, I got thinking about how I could have been in Heaven having a great time instead of having to deal with my loneliness.

It is a weird feeling. That happened to me a long time ago. I was inches from getting hit by a minivan going at least 45, the driver didn't even slow down and I didn't try to get out of the way. My heart rate didn't increase at all. I remember feeling regret.

I guess I am proof that things can get better. If that happened to me today, it might freak me out.

It's the dilemma that's always with us. Is it better to end life and no longer suffer the misery or is it better to plough on, with the hope that life will improve in some way. I have never really felt suicidal so for me its that I must continue with the struggle with the hope that one day I will rid myself of the feelings. I don't wish my depressive, negative, anxiety laced sensations upon any of my fellow psyche central compadres but it's good that others here share their own experiences and that we're not alone in our struggles.

I used to purposely walk through a busy intersection without my go ahead light. People would honk and a few times get really close to hitting me. This one guys got really, really close to taking me out. He stopped barely in time (this time I was actually walking with my go ahead, instead of just me being stupid). I slammed my fist on the hood of his car and started yelling at him. People thought I was yelling because he almost hit me. Truth is, it was because he didn't.

Princess I'm sorry your feeling this way. After reading your post the question arose what if you were hit and were seriously injured? Your life would be so different have you thought of that? Life is valuable and your ID fits who you are to be a "princess" in God's eyes. Princess P you have purpose and value, sometimes when life is a struggle we fail to see the true worth within us. You are precious to those who care about you. Look within beyond the hurt and pain and see the good. If we concentrate on negative we get negative vs positive Almost Died... And Didn't Care.
