Title: What Should I do to keep going?
Post by: Inky Vulpes on November 03, 2009, 05:54:58 PM
Calling all members,

I deem my existence of no value, and thus it is difficult to cope with small disappointing moments in my life. What should I do to keep going, please someone talk to me...

To put it simply, your own value, or atleast your opinion of it, is mostly down to you. You can see no point in life, but then there's no reason not to think you're amazing. Yeah you'll be arrogant and annoy some people, but then everyone annoys someone. In fact, most people annoy a lot of people.

I tried to kill myself a few times, and eventually realised that I was just hurting myself just cus I rated myself low. So I played to my strengths, and decided that I actually am pretty amazing, even if I have major major flaws. The flaws are no bigger than anyone else, cus if you watch people long enough, you realise that most people are equally messed up.

But then, I also know that I can't help you. You should seek professional help, but even they only provide guidelines and suggestions. You just have to live, learn and grow. All that's needed is a change in perspective, but that's incredibly hard to do. Like I said, I had to die to figure it out.

Everyone is different, so I dont know how you're gonna figure it out.

mate... im messed up... i suck at saying the right thing at the right time.... i always seem to do the wrong thing... i spend too much time listenin to the kinda music i do, and dont get school work done.... i have so many flaws i cant really count them.... listen to Asia's advice, HE does seem to know how to say the right thing at the right time... other than that yeah you need to work it out for yourself, but really, everyone is unique... that is what makes us special, part of life.


look up, see the sun.... Inky we're all here behind you, remember that if nothing else....

The one thing I can tell you is to be stronger. Yeah, life has it's moments when you get bit in the arse but you just have to deal with it, get over it, and keep going. One other thing that helps me get over the most disappointing things is by saying "So what? It happened, nothing will change that, and all you can do now is try to improve and learn." I believe that you can figure this out. Anyone can. Giving up on everything isn't the way to go. In other words, I say suicide is for the weak. Nobody who has the will to live is weak and I know you aren't because you want help and that's the way to go. I can only hope that you can find your way. I believe in you, Ink.

Spike...

Suicide is not weakness. It is a symptom of an illness. Some of the strongest people I know have tried to commit suicide. It's certainly not something to aspire to, since nothing good ever comes of it, and you lose the chance at becoming happy. But saying that weak people kill themselves is very very foolish

Hey, I never got a reason for it. Suicide is a choice. To choose that path is pretty foolish if you ask me. When I say strong I mean the will to get over things. If someone calls me an a-hole I'm not gonna go sulk in the corner and let it ruin my day. I don't care what people have to say about me. If I see no value in anything (especially my existance), I think of ways to FIND value in something. Not give up and off myself. You don't think I haven't tried killing myself? You don't think I gone through the same stuff in my life? I was a second away from blowing my brains out until it occured to me that I wasn't DEALING with things like I am now. That is my opinion. That is what saved my life. I'm sticking to it.

Ok people we're here to help inky not to discuss the moral value of suicide.

Inky, I have been through that stage, It may seem like nothing of worth is in you, but believe me when I say that everything will get better. You are worth something to your friends, family, and everyone around you. Don't make a mistake you'll never get a chance to regret. It will get better. I promise. just hang in there.
