    My anxiety has begun to impact my work, I become near suicidal, but knowing that the emotions are temporary helps a lot. I feel like I'm clinging onto something in a storm until it passes. Life is rough

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve struggled my whole life with anxiety and I’ve been at my lowest point for seemingly the last 4 or so years. I have nobody I can really open up to without burdening them so videos like this really help me feel just a little less alone. I wish there wasn’t so much stigma around it

      I’m in the same boat. I have adhd /cptsd and currently homeless. I left an abusive marriage. I have no family or friends or anyone to turn too. My will to live is gone

    I really hate when people say that it gets better. I have over 20 years of struggle to show that it does not get better.

    It is so sad, that people with suicidal thougts, also should be afraid of getting locked up.

    One of the first videos on this topic I can properly relate to. It made my stomach sink. I know exactly what she means when she talks about using high achievement to cope with issues. I was like this, and then I lost it when I effectively had a breakdown and couldn't participate in school. It was like a double whammy because like her I didn't know who I was without that, and I hated myself. I still don't like myself very much but have made some progress.

    Even when you talk about it, people don't care. Sure, call a hotline but as soon as you hang up the problem remains. Try to let family and friends know you are feeling this way but they don't listen. You are your own help. Of course you can Pay some to listen to you for 45 mins. Okay hang onto that thought til next week. This world is only getting worse

    I wish I were there so that I could wrap my arms around her.
    I've been struggling with depression and addiction since I was 16 and suicidal ideation since 24, due to a variety of mental and physical health issues (one of which stemmed from being blindsided and maimed for life) and resultant poverty. I am 28 now.
    I think about suicide more times than I can count, every single day of the week. It's an endless pit. Not only am I facing bad circumstances, but my Father contemplated annihilating himself from adolescense into his contemporary life, as did his Father before him.
    I'm fairly sure that I'll die by my own hand, the question is how much good I can do before that seemingly inevitable event occurs.

      @@WhatzItFeelLike Thank you for the lovely comment.
      There are upsides to my situation; I used to fear death, but I now feel that when it comes it will be a welcome release to embrace- some lives are worse than death.
      I experience life to a depth I never knew before, even though that depth is mostly painful.
      I've talked my issues through in an interminable loop, but words won't heal a broken physical shell- they sure didn't for my Mother suffering with diabetes and heart disease.
      I concluded some time ago that I'm in my final years- there's nothing I can do to ease the pain anymore.
      I just want to make the world a better place before I end the misery. Although I despise the majority of my existence, I am still functional enough for now, and knowing that I've made a positive impace in people's lives will make it that much easier to go to my grave without remorse.
      Thanks for reading, and for your channel - I think it's a great concept, and a boon to the mentally ill. I appreciate that.

      28 is too young t! You never know what is around the corner. Loving yourself, loving others, feeling love or loving a higher being are all reasons to get up every day and keep breathing...keep going. Please don't give up.

      It's so amazing when one finally finds joy in achieving something that’s so important to human, which is a sound good health, because there’s nothing more beautiful than having a good health been free from disease and infections. I don’t even know what else to say or rather how to express my joy, but it must! Be voiced out for thy Lord God Almighty is worthy to be praised 🙏🙌. I never knew or believed I would be cured from my hsv2. It a miracle and a thing of joy, just 2weeks of me following some real and fast effective protocols I was able to eradicate my long term genital herpes. I can boldly say that I’m now herpes negative. I’m cured from my HSV2. I’m so excited 💃💃💃.If you need any assistance on how to get rid of your herpes virus just the way I got rid of mine within 2weeks,contact the great herbalist (Dr Ani,)via email;dr.aniherbalhome1@gmail.com

      I will start again or find some other inspiration, because that seems to be how life works. I hope, I get lost, I find my way, then the path disappears again, and I just have to keep looking. Success and happiness come in small pieces, surrounded by struggle and plenty of failure. Accepting that and moving forward may get me to a good place again… I hope…❤️
