50 but don`t feel a day over 80.

Yes I am. I was wondering the same thing. Most seem to be so young here like 20s

43. Feel sorry for 20 odd year olds. So young too feel such hell.

I am 53, been suicidal for a year since becoming ill. This one year aged me 20 years. Love to everyone who suffers, especially young people.

You should have made the title "people over 40 what keeps you going?". I think this would have helped the kids as well because we can give good advice on many subjects.

I just want to rest. I want to go back to wherever it is that people/ animals come from or go to besides this shit box. I believe fully that we came here on purpose and have a reason to be here and no that doesn't make this crap any easier to deal with. I also believe that we go back to that same place when we finally fucking die wether it's now at any age or a long time from now. This life matters and being here matters very very much.

What keeps me going is the same things as anyone else. Fear, curiosity, hope, the few people I love and love me, seeing another sunrise-sunset, watching the rain, enjoying the little addictions in life in general.

I think the question is also "is it worth it to go on?". I dont have a good answer for that for myself. Then you have to realize that the individuals situation makes a huge difference as we see here on a site like this. One persons "meaningless and stupid reason" to want to die is from their point of view breaking their heart and causing them real pain. That pain is real for all of us. Its good to keep trying to remember that.

 

[GreenTree]

What keeps you going?

Fear of failure to ctb. Its surprisingly hard too die. For every successful ctb 20 fail. I've failed twice before.

 

[plastic]

I am 50.
