Things don’t get better. It’s a myth.

[Lostandfound7]

I'm so glad to hear that, I hope tomorrow is an even better day for you!! Me aswell, even the people struggling often don't realize how wonderful they are

So true!!!

Not only do things not get better, but they get increasingly worse.

And on top of that, the older we get, the clearer we see how futile and ugly everything is.

There's no winning this game called life. God is playing dice, and we are forever losing.

I wish someone had told me it would get worse. It would have motivated me to try everything I could to end my life. Instead I'm stuck experiencing this hellhole. I seriously think hell couldn't be worse than this.

oh, it gets better for me. i started life from below the bottom and it keeps going up. but i don't want it to get better. after a while it's just unbearably trifling.

I bought collagen to use for my dark circles under my eyes.

That stuff works amazing, have been using it for 6 or so months and my dark circles are virtually gone.

Enough with it.

The entire analysis of Suicidal Ideation hinges on patient's "dichotomic thinking" (black and white) and "tunnel vision". The idea patient so distressed they can't see. Hence 'things will get better'. That is false for members. Get that expression off this forum. We are not 'depressed'. Long standing complex conditions means there's iota of chance things will get better -- while more crushed hopes crushes your soul even further. More suicidal. It causes more harm. Enough with false promises!

It is also confrontational. It contradicts our feelings. In the one place in the world that says "you're right we accept this".

"Better" is in recovery. Not suicide. Enough.

Things get better if you work on them to make them better . Sometimes we face a different situation because the our previous situation does not exist any more. There are also a numbr of things that can't get better or it is impossible to stop them from getting worse . this is the reality of the world

Boomers under my skin for another 20 years, nope, isn't going to get better.

there's literally nothing I can do in my power to improve my situation. I am homeless. that's my parent's control. I'm ugly. I tried to remedy that for years to no avail. My boyfriends cheating on me and doesn't even love me, the one person I Thought did. What can I do about that? My DADS cheating on my mom and has been with the same foreign woman for at least a decade. I can't do anything about that either.

what the hell can I do about my life to make it better?

exactly, I too tried to remedy my ugliness for years and my mental health I can not control, my ocd made me not be able to meet people and go outside for years, these past years because people bullied me before that and made me scared of them.

For some people, things can get better because they manage to get out of their situations. For others, things cannot get better no matter how hard they try because they can have too many factors working against them.

People should stop speaking for everyone. You can only say it will or won't get better for you personally. Why doom everyone to the same fate?

Don't believe the lies that things will get better. There's a good chance you won't, unless you're one of the universes favorites. I believed that lie. That small whisper of a lie stopped me from succeeding with my attempt twice. I had a nugget of belief that maybe my life will get better; I will move out and go to college in three months and start my life anew. Make friends. No longer be lonely.

but no. Life doesn't get better. It'll probably get worse, even.A year ago I was homeless living in the bedroom of my family friend with my mother and baby sister.An exact year later — same week and everything! — my family got evicted again, we are homeless, and living in my father's friend's apartment.The only guy I thought capable of loving me is cheating on me. My phone iscompletely broken and I can'tafford to buy a new one. I found out my father's cheating on my mother again. I realized I was unlovable and will never find love.

everything is falling apart. Next time I get the opportunity to kill myself (I don't even have a fucking house to die in. I'm homeless!) I will fucking do it. I won't hesitate.this was a sign thst this planet is for me, life is not worth living, and things will get worse.

Absolutely agree with you. I too, get sick and tired of hearing others IRL and most general masses spew "it gets better" and if you challenge them, they get hostile or rude and offensive. Or sometimes they deflect by saying "well it did for me", "I know someone that it did", or other inane remarks. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I hope you achieve peace when your time comes.

That's a great issue to have..I wish my life would keep getting better...I welcome that type of "unbearable trifling"...

Thank you for this reminder @Mr2005 . I find myself generalizing things all too often when I post. You make an important point.
