Just can't do it

Post Reply New Topic

I can't do life...I've failed almost everything I've ever done, I'm pretty much useless. I'm so tired of being alone, my mom and my dogs are all I have but I live away from them and the dogs love her more anyway...I was going to adopt a dog but the puppy I was about to bring home got sick and died...then I was getting a puppy from a breeder but the breeder gave the puppy to someone else after weeks of being in contact with her. It seems like it's just not meant to be, and I know it might not sound like a big deal but apart from my mom dogs are all I have, there's no human contact (physical or emotional) in my life, no matter how hard I try. I'm by myself and I have nothing...I can't kill myself because I can't leave my mom by herself but if something happened to her I would definitely be gone. I can't do this.

I really hope you feel better. People here would miss you if you left.

yeah you seem nice its gonna get better
I've felt the same way at times

I don`t know what to say but will give you a hug - good things occasionally happen that are worth sticking around for (sorry that`s the best I can do)
*hug*

You're not useless if you care enough about someone to not leave her alone.

First, let me assure you that we have all felt the same feelings of isolation, defeat, sadness, and just being so tired of life....You are here because you are needed here, in this world...Time may pass by before it becomes apparent to you why all of us have to endure what we do ..we are a gifted society of people, and you are very precious in this world...your mother is your world, and you are hers....keep looking up, please......time has a way of showing us the beauty in our lives, however simple ..Please be gentle with yourself, and others......Please take care..Peace..

"I can't do this."

Yes you can.Re-contextualize who you are,for yourself.Don't gauge yourself as success/failure by the standards you are currently using.I'm not being flippant or saccharine,I'm serious.If you are having a meltdown,keep online and keep posting,and ride the thing out.

Spite your despair.You can do it.

You sound like you have every right to complain. If I had to make a suggestion as to how to make yourself feel better, I'd emphasize the effectiveness of some good old-fashioned venting. Here's a favorite method of mine:

Save up a small sum of money, and on Friday afternoon after work / classes / waking up, head to the local discount store and purchase as much glassware as your little budget can afford. A good ratio to work with is approximately twenty percent cups and eighty percent saucers. Then, grab and old bed sheet and bring your purchases to a stone wall; try to find one that's far away enough from well-trafficked areas not to disturb anybody. Then, spread out your sheet, stand a distance from the wall, and proceed to throw your purchases as hard as you can against the wall. If the noise gets to you, play some music while doing this. I can honestly say I do something in this vein at least once a month, and it can be very gratifying, emotionally speaking. Other suggestions in this vein: Wrestle a mattress. Throw darts. Attack your fruits and vegetables.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as insincere here; I'm being quite earnest. People often overlook the basic human necessity to let out their emotions in a controlled forum. Go ahead, try it.

It's crappy to feel totally alone. It was so bad I thought I couldn't bare another day. But it got a little better, and now I'm actually starting to make some friends, which I thought I never could. I think this website is helping us.

So hang on, things will get better.

I was in the same place, earlier on this year, except my issues were different. Just think about your future. Live for the future. You might get lucky and you'll be able to adopt a dog, in the future.
