How do you cope with knowing today could be terrible or good despite your best efforts?

[Ambivalent1]

It's the worst thing about life.

Lying to myself that one day it's going to be over.

Lying to myself that one day it's going to be over.

How is that a lie? One day you will die and it will end

I think the way that I look at it is that I can only control what is within me and not everything around me. I also try to keep in mind that nothing is perfect, we all make mistakes and mistakes help us learn. Another good way of coping is trying to live in the present moment. For most people we are dwelling on the past or we are anxious for the future. I think the best thing people can slowly try to incorporate into their everyday lives is trying to live in the presence. I hope that makes sense my friend.

If one doesn't find a way to leave they basically have no choice but to stay here, to me it's one of the most terrible things about existence, how uncertain and unpredictable everything is, existence truly is something so harmful. For me the only relief could ever lie in non-existence where everything is finally forgotten about.

None of my days are good, so I don't even concern myself with that anymore no matter what I do. All of my days are terrible, so that's what I expect and I'm just used to it now.

What the hell can one do? Not much. Just try to live with it. Wait for the worst times to pass. Try to make the most of the better times. Appreciate that time is moving forward, albeit very slowly, and one day it will all be over. Look forward to that day. Try to minimise any future suffering. Unfortunately this means you have to worry about your future.

What would be nice is guidelines on how to speed up death, and how to ensure a less unpleasant death. I'm no doctor. I have no idea what deaths are quick and painless, nor how to achieve them. If anyone knows, please let me know.

I can't/dont cope with it well. One of the most dsyregulating things about living.

Feel like I've been sold a lie that effort= better days... but it really doesn't.

I just try with things then breakdown about it... then stop trying so..

I cope by accepting it, I accept I will die soon, so either way the pain will end, I'm sick of chances, I can't wait to sleep where I am truly at peace. I just accept it, it's my fate and my curse
