I'm just wondering something.

I am in my early 30s now and I realised one day that I am living my life. That is, this is my life. This is what I am doing when I grow up.

It's a confronting thought. I also realised that I have to change my life. Probably cos I hate my job and I don't have any friends, etc.

It's a mammoth task.

When did you realise you hated your life and what did you do about it?

Thanks.

I decided early on in life that I wanted better. I did not want to be the victim. I chose to be a survivor! I worked hard at doing what my mother said I couldn't do. be somebody!

Living is a continuous learning process, especially in our younger years.
So long as we learn as we live, then it makes living progressively more meaningful and seemingly more worthy. (Although, I believe living is worthy regardless, even when it certainly seems contrary. We ALL have a right to be here and 'should' all be treated as such).

It's when we have it all figured out that I think is when we no longer need to be "here".

((((Biscuit)))) you are an inspiration and so brave to have acknowledged those thoughts and feelings and to have made a decision to try and do something about it. Good on you!!

I've not hated my life so much as I used to hate my mental illness. But after trying very hard and for a long time to not be mentally ill I decided to accept it and make my life as good for me as I could.

But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
