I think my life has pretty much ended right now

Post Reply New Topic

I'm putting an end to living my life with morals, I'm going to quit my job, stop going outside when I have to, stop socializing, stop being around people. It's gonna be an "operation suicide", without committing suicide (since I'm afraid of it). Because there is nothing I can do anymore at this point to lead a happy normal life. I'm currently (besides being a diagnosed aspie) suffering from a seriously heavy handicapping case of IBS together with a mild but rising form of CFS. I'm currently 24 years old but I feel like I'm 84. Unlike most other people suffering from these diseases, I actually DO KNOW the cause of it all and it's the cause that makes me pretty much dead inside and stop living the way I should. There is no point battling the cause anymore, it's too late. All of this gives me a whole hard result of depression, social anxiety, panic disorder and even self-fear. There is a lot about life that we don't know about and the government and health industry hides from us with pleasure. I tried everything in order to fight my symptoms of IBS, CFS and social anxiety, but nothing has helped, in fact it only got worse, it gets worse with the years after all. It also changes my view on humanhood forever. So yeah, I'm stuck with it and I'm gonna be living with it for the rest of my life. Social isolation is properly the only thing I can do too keep myself from having horrible humiliations and/or hate. I've cried over this many times and even my friends and family don't get what I'm so fussy about. And before you all jump to the conclusion of it being a mental issue, it's not, it's a physical issue. My life is pretty much over right now, I can't bother living with it the way I should so I'm just gonna live the way I want (if there is actually a way I want). It's over. I dunno what I'm gonna do next.

I have done similar things like what you plan. Quitting living a life (not suicide though). It has its merits and can feel like you are making a huge point, but it lasts only a while and then I tend to start missing living. So I then go out and get a job and start doing the same thing again.

Take time out if you feel you need it. Can you get any help from a doctor regarding IBS?

You are far too young to be feeling this way. While you should take some time off to recharge and figure out what you want to do in the future, removing yourself permanently from society may not assist you. It may exacerbate your symptoms by leaving you with nothing else to focus on. If you do choose to isolate yourself, you will need something to relieve your stress. Even if it only helps a little bit, that hobby or interest could afford you a new perspective on whatever you are going through. Your IBS issues sound a lot like my father's when he was in college: he was so concerned about passing his courses that he lost weight and had serious GI problems that confused even experienced doctors. The symptoms didn't recede until he convinced himself that he was going to be fine, and it took a few months after that before he was free of it. Anxiety can cause very physical symptoms in everyone, although in my experience it seems to hit people with hypersensitivity a lot harder. My immune system goes crazy if I overstress on keeping appearances, and I try to remember that no matter what societal norms are portrayed as, they are merely organizational techniques. It's all for convenience, a human-born construct that is not a proper model for how people really feel most of the time. Because it's multilayered, it's difficult to manuever around in; so even people who would want to help, like health care workers, have to worry about external issues (how to cover someone within the company's bottomline-driven guidelines) as well. There are plenty of moral, good people. They are just hard to recognize sometimes. Please keep posting and talking to us as you see fit.

I've sorta isolated myself for a multitude of reasons, and yes it has helped in certain cases (avoiding panic inducing scenarios) but it's made me for the most part a purposeless person, with little ambition. Unfortunately my anxiety is just that bad, that it's almost impossible to function normally in the outside world. But as you said you have a job, so please don't quit it. In today's times a job is priceless, and for someone with anxiety it can prove to be a great distraction from over thinking and dwelling on negative things.

You said you are having a problem with a physical issue. If you don't mind asking, what is it? It might be easier to give you advice, if we knew what the issue was, but I can understand if you wanna keep it to yourself. I too have some phobias about some physical characteristics which makes me want to avoid people, for fear of humiliation.

But as the previous poster said, keep posting especially if it helps unburden yourself from the feelings floating in your mind.

I feel a similar way OP, exception that I honestly think that one day I want to end it all, and rest in the dirt or get burned to ashes.

AS and the other medical condition's I have that's wrong with me certified the fact I will never live a normal life and can't support myself.

I mean I can't even enjoy my special interests these days as the various medical condition's I have is ruining the enjoyment.
