re: When You Feel Like You're Lost In Life

PLEASE REMEMBER:
You were your mother and father's beautiful baby boy and they put decades of time and effort and love into raising you and your siblings. Since you still have a relationship with them, they must be pretty good people, which allows me to assume that they thought of you, prayed for your life to work out well and wished the best for you. For you to kill yourself and end that precious life, you would, in a very real way, invalidate a very large portion of their own lives and scar them for the rest of theirs, leaving them to head towards the end of their own existence here with, at best, conflicting and confusing thoughts and fears.
Your life is brilliant and it matters very much. It is an absolute gift, and if you can live your life each day incrementally improving from the day before, you will be impressed with yourself sooner rather than later ESPECIALLY because you know deep down how close you've been to the edge, but you made it.
God bless you. You CAN and WILL make it.

38 is young. You are NOT near the end, it just feels that way because you are suffering from loneliness and depression. Start by contacting your doctor. Make an appointment and if they offer therapy and/or antidepressants, do it. Next, get out of your own head. I agree with the posters who said to volunteer, join a group, or get a hobby. You may have some “misses”, in that every endeavor may not be a success, but make it a point to try or do something different at least every week. Apply for new jobs. You won’t get all of them but you will find a different job than you have now. If it also sucks, keep trying. Basically, keep trying. Don’t give up. Low points don’t last forever. ETA and get a pet.

Don't put so much of your brain into your work if you already want to leave that job. It's not worth it.Go in like Peter from Office Space. What's the worst they can possibly do? Fire you? I've been in that exact position. Took them two weeks to find a good enough reason to fire me, and while I was in the office being fired, I got a call for an interview from the next place that I went to work. Pay wasn't the same, but honestly, I didn't even care. I was able to sacrifice pay for a better working environment for a little while. And holy shite was it better. Life is too short to be in a job that takes so much out of you.

Thank you all for the kind posts. I do need to leave for now but thank you the encouragement. I am definitely taking the advice to heart. I'll try to be back on later.

So true. Life is all ups and downs. If you feel like your life has no meaning, then add meaning to it. You could look around your neighborhood for the house with the highest grass and go knock on the door and ask if you can mow their yard. Something as simple as that is fulfilling knowing you're helping someone. Get chickens and raise them to have eggs to give away to people who appreciate it. You'd laugh but that was one of the most rewarding things I've done in the last year.

Pray to God and Jesus to send the Holy Spirit into your heart.
When I was at my lowest, I asked God for help.
Almost immediately kind, Godly strangers reached out to me unbidden, and offered me help and lifted me up.
Ask for the Father's help and it will come to you quickly. Good things will start to happen in your life.
God bless you.

if you're being honest, and i will trust you are. you need to stop focusing on yourself.
probably the best thing you could do is do something for people less fortunate. i know it sounds cliche, but go volunteer at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. yeah, some people are entitled, but the ones who are truly grateful will make it more than worth it. take time to really connect with those people. ask them with genuine interest about their lives.
or you could volunteer at a children's hospital. when you see young people fighting for their lives and staying positive, you soon learn that you have no business feeling sorry for yourself.
adopt a dog who needs a home and give it the love that it never had.
in short, do something for somebody else.
This.

This just made me wanna trap all social media influencers in a building and set it on fire. Seeing these children suffering while these useless parasites make more than doctors for being useless to society.

I've been there right after my first marriage broke up. It will get better. Find friends of similar situation and keep yourself busy.

Im fascinated with psychedelic therapy and its gaining tons of steam.
Netflix just released a doc about it and how it has saved peoples lives when medicine and counseling didn't.
Look up MDMA and psilocybin trials in your area. What do you have to lose?

Dr. Jordan fricking Peterson bro. And it's worth literally changing careers if need be. At least move states.

The girl thing is what dating is like once you get older. I am in my 39s and never married myself. Dating is much much harder and men dumping over women just make it so much harder for everyone else. Not everyone who ghosts you is because of you. I’ve literally had women flake on me then tell me later they thought I’d have negative reaction to meeting them. Most women aren’t half as hot as what you see thru a filter. God will send you one when the time is right. Your time will be best spent improving yourself for when the right one comes along. I’ve been stood up by girls that I was dating down to because I was bored. Hope this helps and makes sense. I tried to finish this post in the car
