Is life worth living for me?
This isn't a question someone else can answer for you.
Life is not a constant though, you can always change things. You don't have to focus on what's wrong either.
Keep away from the past and future, meditate, feel every breath off your lips. Walk forward, enjoy failure, enjoy victory, at the end of the day life keeps going. Once you've reached the deepest depths things can only get better.

Look, seriously.
The only way you're going to feel better about yourself, get some decent help and possibly start being motivated to do things is by taking regular baths.
Yes, it might be hard due to motivation problems. Yes, you might think "what's the point" if no one's coming round, but no one WILL come round till you do it. Iäm not trying to be rude by saying this, but the root of your problems is your bathing, so you either shape up and start showering, or you wallow in it.
If you're really that bothered about how you feel about yourself/your hygiene, then you will find the motivation, and it will be hard at the beginning, but you'll do it.
If not, then you should go seek professional help, which does NOT lie on a forum.
Best wishes and good luck!

The past few weeks since I've been here haven't been that great.
My sister nearly went all out and pulled a knife on me because she got mad when I yelled at her for something. She's schizo and she'll be probably be institutionalized sooner or as it looks like her medicine isn't working all that well anymore.
Heh, I'm finding it hard to come up with reasons to keep living. With no friends, likely no immediate family in the future, what is there left for me?
Who would want to be me? I'm useless, I'm a good for nothing bum that doesn't have anything to offer anyone.

To all you optimist and positive people
Who would want to be friends, hang out with, or date a person that's:
-Poor
-has been in special ed and has pretty much nothing more than a 5 grade education
-really ugly
-annoys you most of the time by the way he talks and what he talks about
-doesn't dress normal
-perceived to be slow, and a little ret*d
Huh? How many of you would bring me around your other friends and family? How many you wouldn't ridicule me if you were with your friends and you saw me walking down a street or in a store?
Yeah that's right. There is no hope, no future, no happiness, nothing.
I would've killed myself a long time ago if I wasn't such a coward.
The last month and a half has been more of the same; no baths, I haven't been outside, and I don't have any friends to talk to. Now my house is infested with rats and my washer has broke down
I hate this s**t. Why me, why did it end up like this. With no friends, no future, no fun, no memories, and being jealous of every couple that I see.
No one wants to be around me ![]()
In that time span when everything went to hell, did you at least contact social services? If your situation is that poor, there is help available. The problem is that you do not seem to be able to ask for help. No one can ask for help for you. If you are agoraphobic you should be on some kind of medication, and be going to a therapist to help alleviate those symptoms and give you coping tools. Usually a social worker can set you up in cost free clinics and arrange transportation. If You send me a private message I will even go so far as giving finding the proper agencies and getting the numbers for you. But YOU must make the calls and ask for help.
I doubt it's your looks that turn people off. It is more likely the depression you are suffering. It is very difficult to watch someone in pain, that is unwilling to do anything to help themselves. A friend doesn't care if you have money or dress like sh**. You have more to offer than having been in special ed. and an education level to share. You seem very articulate, but very depressed and very lost.
As far as the original question..... is life worth living for you? I bet it is, but you have to start living instead of merely existing.
Do you have dreams of a better life? What do you want from life?
I don't have the kind of money to get real help from doctors and therapists and even I did they wouldn't do anything but put me on medicine that I don't need. That would probably make the situation worse.

It is my looks, the way I dress, the way I smell, the way I talk. (I have a speech impediment so I talk kinda funny and it makes it hard for people to understand what I'm saying) I'm uninteresting, boring, and don't have anything to offer anyone. That stuff does count, no one wants to be around a bum. or hang out with one in public.

Yeah I do, but it's unrealistic. I wanted to go to prom. I want to go skiing in the rockies with friends. I want to go on a road trip. I want to go on vacation and see other parts of the world. I want to go to parties and concerts with other friends. I want date and have a girlfriend ( it's been nearly six year since I've so much as hugged a girl my age) I want to get married and have a family. I know all this stuff are just dreams and very unlikely to happen.

Social services can help you with a decent place to live, food, having hot water and medical coverage with no expense to you. It is not all about MD's and medication. There are steps you can take to improve your situation in part without medication that you do not want.
Your self image is very poor. There are things you can do to be your best. Bathing, of course brushing your teeth and hair etc. You may not be everyone's cup of tea. No one is. But you seem to focus on nothing but these very superficial things. What do you have to offer friends?
None of your dreams are unrealistic. But unless you are willing to take the fist step, they are nothing but dreams.
It seems like your self esteem has taken a real beating over the years and you might be afraid of rejection and hard work, but in order to obtain any of those things, you must make a sincere attempt.

you mean housing projects where crackheads, gangmembers, and thugs can come in a steal everything you have?

Nothing. I'm boring and annoying to hang out with. I talking about nothing but video games and anime as those are my only interest. noone wants to hear that crap.

First step? There are no steps it's too late for me. So you're right, they're nothing but dreams.

I tried doing that when I was young. It didn't work, people still treated me the same. There is no hope and life isn't worth living. I wish god would grant mercy on me and end it sooner or later.
