It is depressing to think about my future

[FuneralCry]

The people who I am around often in real life like to talk about the future a lot. It immediately fills me with dread. These family members seem to have things to look forward to. I do not understand how people much older than me can still enjoy life, it is a horrifying thought to me growing older. They want to reach a old age and I find that so depressing. I try to tell them about all the bad things that could possibly happen and they will not listen. It is tiring having these types of conversations. They also live pretty boring lives and yet they seem fine with it. I do not understand.

Things will likely get worse for me in the future and I do not want to be there to see it. I just have a bad feeling about everything. I just live a pointless empty existence. It is like I have already died. Existence is tiring and I just want to rest. I know I do not belong on this earth, I should have stayed in the nothingness. I was perfectly fine not existing. Even little things make me feel worse. The thing about this life, is that there is no limit as to how bad things can get, there is unlimited potential for suffering. With death, there is nothing and nothing is what I want.

wow… I feel like I could have written this myself. I'd so rather be dead than face the future and I don't care if that makes me a coward.

Thinking about the future makes me very anxious. Thinking about getting old makes me wanna vomit….. I understand what you're feeling. Some of us are just not cut out for this life and this world. I think we don't belong here……
Stay strong.

There is unlimited potential for suffering, that's true. And I'm on the side of not wanting to live or face the likely future I see before me.
But as a member of the oldfolk tribe, I feel like I can speak to this, a little. Even old and facing an uncertain future, life can still be sweet. Sometimes seeing your time dwindling can make you want to wring the joy out of every day.
And there are a lot of things you worry less about as you get older.
Boring can be bliss, if you've already faced tragedy. You CRAVE boring, simple joys.

I would stay, if my life was a little different. Even with multiple sclerosis and poverty, if there was someone to face it with, I'd stay. At least for a while, at least while I could still think and communicate.

Im not trying to diminish your pain or hopeless feelings, but just trying to maybe let you see a little into other minds.
Still, no matter if you're staying here or not, take a few moments to notice little moments of joy or beauty or kindness. They're still there, even if the world sucks.

I hate thinking about the future as well, despite what people say, things only get worse with age, which is a terrifying thought because things are bad enough already for me and im only 20.

 

[Bullit]

I only hope I don't have a future. I can't take much more.

 

[MeltedJello]

I feel the same way. I have family that asks sometimes about my future and it immediately triggers my suicidal thoughts. The only future I can see myself in is continuing my NEET lifestyle until I end my pointless life.

 

[Fakereality]

The way I live life nowadays is I only planned for a week or month ahead at most i do not think of anything further beyond too much trouble and needs too much unnecessary brain power to do so
I am hoping soon I would stop existing and go back to where I truly belong to the eternal non existence the one place I can truly call my home.

Anyone with no retirement...no savings and no job to earn social security is ultimately fucked. The future is very dark and cold.

 

[Versailles]

I hate my future, I see it in a cruel way, loneliness haunts me, and I do not think it is still tolerable for me in an advanced age, I wish I had the guarantee of dying naturally before the age of 30, perhaps from cardiac arrest. I want to avoid old age, every year that passes my future becomes uncertain, to that we add that I am an undocumented immigrant, without savings plans, that depends on improvised jobs and I will never be able to retire.

Today's economy is going bankrupt

I'm thinking about this now and I'm scared as fuck. This so anxiety inducing, I hate the idea of getting older and I'm just approaching my 20s. I'm terrified. It just makes everything feel too real and overwhelming. I can't stand it.

 

[motel rooms]

Bring your shank.

Of course I'll bring it, I can't detach it from the rest of my body

Totally understand this. The future is petrifying. I can't afford to live now, let alone retire. I don't have kids nor do I want them (why the fuck would anyone bring a child into this toxic hell hole?!). It all seems like a very cruel fucked up joke. We're thrown into a world in which we struggle daily to survive n then we die, probably alone weak and tired. Great!!!
I'm so grateful for this page. We don't have a sugar coat our nauseating feelings of frustration as we observe others n their "oh my god, life is such a blessing" bullshit parade.

I know people who are 75 years old and these people live their lives in denial of death, they only want to prolong human life, they love their lives more than anything even though they have age-related ailments, poor memory, poor eyesight, poor hearing and are about to becoming demented. Life is programmed to live, but I do not understand this behavior. Our aging population is a problem for the healthcare and death for these people will probably be slow and painful.
