i'm done.  i'm done with life.  i'm done with my family.  i'm just finished.  i want to roll into a ball and disappear forever.  what's the point of living?  i'm always crying and i can't ask for help.  i just can't make myself ask for help.  i just feel like crawling in bed and never coming out

the point of living is that, if tomorrow comes, there is always a chance to make something new. most things that make us feel like we want to crawl in a ball and die are temporary, and that being said, they always feel much worse at that very moment, if given a week, and they are looked apon once more, they seem much smaller, more easily manged. sometimes, i feel like crawling into a ball and never getting up again, but, if tomorrow comes then you are one day further from yesterday, and one day closer to a chance at something new.

Also, before you die and your memory withers away, do something epic to be remembered by! :D

i have an eating disorder that i cant get help for. when i tried to quit, i gained fifteen pounds, and now im back to where i started. my parents think i've quit and the worse i get the more i pull away from everyone.  all i do now is fight with everyone because the easiest way to 'disappear' is to distance myself from everyone first.  i like a boy who probably hates me, and no matter how much everyone says he likes me i refuse to believe it.  my parents bitch at me all the time.  my friends have their own issues.  if i died or something, nobody would miss me.  i cry constantly now.  i understand theres a problem with me, i do.  and i know i need help but i cant ask for it.  im scared of dying, im scared of living, im scared of being judged.  i think ending everything would be easier then to keep going the way i am right now.  nobody would care.

1. What kind of eating disorder? Are you over weight or under weight?

2. Why try and distance yourself from your family? Why not try and get closer?

3. Do you know the margin between Like and Hate? It's incredible. If people are saying he likes you, that should be a for sure sign he doesn't hate you.

4. Why can't you get help?

5. Your parents are bitching at you because you're trying to drift away from them.

6. If anyone on this Earth died, someone would miss them. It doesn't matter who it is.

1. bulimia.  im neither.  im around five foot eight and 140 pounds.  ive already vowed to lose thirty pounds by next month.
2. its easier. they dont know im hurting. i dont like getting help, even though i need it.  the closer i get the more uncomfortable i am.
3. people lie.
4. because im too scared to ask for it.  i dont want other people (shrinks) looking at me and thinking im messed up.  i judge myself enough, i dont need them judging me too.
5. my parents bitch about everything from dishes to cleaning to 'i-was-on-the-phone-and-you-were-too-loud".
6. thats bull, because nobody would miss me.


-- Posted by Anonymous Chris at 2:52 pm on Oct. 18, 2008

1. Don't lose any more weight.
2. You need help. This isn't about comfort right now, it's about your health.
3. You're friends would lie to you?
4. Therapists or Psychiatrists are amazingly helpful and won't judge you. They're there to help, not criticize.
5. Talk to them!
6. Roughly, how many people in the world, do you think you have made an acquaintance with. At least 60 right? You honestly don't believe out of at least 60 people, none of them would be the slightest bit heart broken if you died? If you don't, then you're just trying to look for ways for people not to miss you.

1. i need to.  im disgustingly fat.
2. i dont think i'd be comfortable, and i dont think it would help my health.
3. probably
4. everyone judges me.
5. i cant.
6. probably about 200 at camp, 700 at school, then my family.  and i highly doubt none of them would miss me.


-- Posted by Anonymous Chris at 3:03 pm on Oct. 18, 2008

1. Since when is 140 pounds fat? You're idea of what "fat" means is very off.
2. I don't know what to say to this. It's up to you to ask for help. I can't force you to.
3. Real friends don't lie to you. If yours do, then they aren't your friends.
4. No. You just think they do
5. They're your parents. You can talk to them.
6. We have one problem solved.

I've come to the conclusion that you act and think very negative. That's what's causing you every problem on this list. If you would just consider being positive then I'm 100% sure you're life would be soo much easier.

Sounds like you have a lot to deal with right now, if you want to talk or just need to vent pm me i'll listen and help you if I can. good luck

I don't believe that there is a point to life. Think about it, we're born, we live for a while, we die, others are born to take our places. In the grand scheme of time and space, we're merely blips in the huge expanse of other pointless nothingness. That sounds dreadfully boring and begs the question why bother living at all? Having a point to your life gives you a reason for doing everything that you do. People like to have reasons, to understand why. It makes things feel more comfortable and safe. The unknown is scary.
When I feel down, I tend to question the point. Why do I bother, why am I making all this effort, what will it achieve, what is the point? If I can't see an overall point, I feel very miserable, angry, afraid, and unmotivated. I don't get anything done and I don't feel like changing anything. When I feel like I'm working towards a point, I feel so different. I feel important, motivated, focused, excited. I feel like it's worth me putting my time and effort in and achieving something. I feel worthwhile. Even though things might seem bad, you can always find something that will keep you going, it's not a matter of whether you want to, it's a matter of you HAVE to. Life has its up and downs. When you feel down all the bad things seem suddenly to materialize in front of you, and you need someone to remind you, that it isn't all lost. You're still alive!! Millions of people die everyday and it makes others sad, so you're one step ahead of them. Try to help other, make that you're reason to live. Don't expect anything in exchange, just help people, because then you're live will be spent in a good way, and you will be remembered as someone who did good. Maybe there's something you like to do. A hobby, or a goal that you have. Maybe you want to become a doctor some day. Fight for it! Don't let ANYTHING bring you down! You're a strong human being, and God created you so that the universe would be under your control. You just need to believe it's going to happen and get out there and make it happen. Go and fight for your dreams. Don't waste your time. Don't fight with your family because they might not be there tomorrow. You might never see them again and you will regret having not talked to them. Tell them how you feel, so that all of you can live together and help each other out, because no one said life is easy, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to succeed. Find people who are similar to you, so that you can all help each other out. A single pencil can be broken easily, but if you hold a bunch of them together it's impossible to break them!!!

I think that giving up is a thing that is never an option in my mind. and you're wrong about not being able to ask for help. You're on LiveWire! and this is a site that's supposed to be for help and support. I've felt like this before. so if you ever want to talk about this feel free to send me a private message.

Wow, that was well said. And that is about the same as I feel about life.
