Anyone wanna die because they can't adult?

[Seafoam]

I'm 24 and I completely suck at keeping up with all of my responsibilities and it's only gonna get worse as I get older. Can anyone else relate?

 

[hopelessgirl]

yes, that is one of my main reasons

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Yup, I'm 27 and ever since graduating uni 10 months ago, the thought of adulting just fills me with more and more dread and exhaustion.

 

[PeacefulTonic]

I only had a problem with adulting after I fucked things up and have suicidal ideations/thoughts. Every little new responsibility adds more stress. I can't deal with it anymore

I'm terrified of what I'll do after graduation :(

yeah, it's like you're slowly being crushed. I don't know how people do it.

Yeah, enjoy school while you can. As much of a drag as it is, there's at least enough consistency for it to feel safe…

definitely, it stresses me out but I know what to expect.

 

[J dreaming of an end]

I mean I don't like your choice of words lol but yeah partly that; I have bipolar and bpd and those also play a big role, but a lot of it is that I can't function in the society that I live.

Yeah, could've worded it better lol. I also have bipolar disorder and feel like a caged animal most days.

 

[J dreaming of an end]

Yeah, couldn've worded it better lol. I also have bipolar disorder and feel like a caged animal most days.

It's fine lol I've never been tolerant of what the people around and slightly below my age group say and do so it's not you it's me lol but yeah the caged animal bit I definitely get it and agree. Do you live alone? I'm still living with my parents which as you can imagine is shit.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Speaking of that, I've definitely been compared to a zoo animal. I've got all my food and shelter needs fulfilled but I've been left completely unable to survive in the wild as a result and I don't see any other way through it, except even zoo animals probably have it better because they at least get to go through breeding programs…

I live with my parents, there's no way I could make it on my own. I feel your pain greatly.

 

[demuic]

Yes. I see all these responsibilities as pointless and painful. I hate that I will have to work just to survive and fill some rich fuck's pocket in the process. I do feel trapped in a cage and there is only one way to escape.

 

[J dreaming of an end]

I keep thinking to myself if I could get on disability I'd be able to move out find some space for myself and maybe find a way to live but I've tried and the whole process is not only challenging to go through as far as waiting and requesting information they make you feel like shit for trying and do everything they can to basically just say but you were able to dress yourself and come to this meeting right? So I guess you don't qualify

I have a friend trying to get on disability and you're right it's total bullshit.

 

[Midgardsorm]

I couldn't adult through all my 20s I'm in my 30s now and still can't.

Aside from seemingly not being able to have an adult life I just don't see a reason to do it anymore.

 

[ClownMe]

It's definitely a factor for me, being an adult simply sucks, of course being a kid sucks too but being an adult is even worse. There's too much responsibility and stress and along with that you have to work a ridiculous amount of hours just to stay off the streets for another day. The thing that really gets me though is that were all going to die one day anyway so no matter how hard we work to sustain a normal adult livelihood, it'll all be for nothing in the end. For this reason I plan to ctb fairly young, why waste unnecessary time slaving away when in the end you don't even get rewarded? In fact, if anything you get punished because by the time you retire you will be too old to enjoy anything.

Yep, I might ctb right outside of the fucking social security building to make a statement. Question is should I rope, OD, car exhaust..?

 

[Tomoko]

Right on the money. I'm a fucking horrible adult, and while I will acknowledge there was a lack of preparation on my part, it didn't help that my parents essentially threw me into it without me even having any sort of education or career path.

 

[nico1420]

Adult life is full of responsabilities i am 37 now and never could get the hang of it, i ve always lived in some kind of a fog in my head, never finishied school or stick with any plan now i woke up from the dream/nightmare and find my self scratching 40 and nothing to show for, so i guess what i am trying to say is yes adulthood is painful, and more so when you didn't build a proper life...

 

[WrongPlaceWrongTime]

In uni right now. I have two responses to responsibilities: Try to deal with the responsibilities and get stressed, or start slacking and feeling guilty about being irresponsible. Good thing I don't have younger siblings, because I would set a horrible example for them. 19 years old my ass, I haven't matured one bit.

 

[exhausteduntreatable]

I don't want to make excuses but my eating disorder, brain fog, illnesses, mental health, have always prevented me from feeling like an adult. People in my age group either already are or are in the process of settling in careers, marriages, having children and I actually feel I have regressed back to childhood. I can't do anything or barely take care of myself. But the social expectations placed on adults are a bunch of joyless, exhausting, and mostly pointless bs anyways.

So what does one do in your situation?

 

[exhausteduntreatable]

So what does one do in your situation?

Die. My Dad is prepared to take care of me but I get worse every day and I can't put that burden on him. Besides that won't alleviate my despair. I basically have a psychotic episode or disassociate every time I go to the grocery store now. Having trouble acquiring poison though.

I genuinely thought about doing that when I was denied I thought about a lot of horrible things much worse than just ending myself but of course that's exactly what prolifers want so they can act all indignant and point their fingers like see I told you so

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

Yep. Nothing positive to look forward to, anhedonia and suicidality make it very hard to put in any amount of effort for me.

 

[Cheers]

Fuck yeah
It's not that i can't adult by any means, but really do i want to? NO. I know my situation is really good and i have most of what i could ask for, good house, nice clothes, supportive friends and family, health, time, enough money, i'm usually perceived as likable and intelligent and i know i could surely succeed with whatever i want to do but that's the thing. I want to do nothing, i have no drive, no will, for me there's no point in living if i'm not having a good time and i know that in this society i just can't have a good time so i just want to leave yk. It's really not that deep, being an adult, sustaining myself and doing stuff everyday is overwhelming and dreadful. So i just won't do it, i'll ctb instead no biggie.

 

[Ednospatient]

I should be studying, looking for a job and joining the army but I'm sick and can't really do any of those things.

 

[deflationary]

Yeah, it's a part of it for sure. I don't have it in me to do things that I find unpleasant. And pretty much everything about being an adult is unpleasant.

 

[BottomlessPit]

Adulting is hard when all you really want to do is lie in bed all day.
