Venting This is life

[thinkkank]

you haven't been cursed. this isn't a nightmare. life is this bad, and it gets worse as you get older. people say "it gets better" or "you get stronger". if that were true suicide wouldn't occur in middle-aged people. this life breaks you. It feels like getting smaller and smaller. each year you shrink and a little more life is drained from you. Life drives you to suicide

 

[Zzzzz]

Yes. Everyone is experiencing a constantly deteriorating life.

No one is asked to be born . . . We are brought into this world without our consent and as soon as we are developing in the womb we are destined to die. We get no choice in anything but to choose when and where we die, and even then everyone else makes it hell to try. To be born is to suffer.

It's a self-destruction process

It gets better for some people. But probably not for us.

Well, it isn't quite that simple. Yeah, we all age & eventually drop dead, but we don't all live the exact same life. Things can get a little or a lot worse or better for a period of time, people can get weaker, they can get stronger, they can learn to deal with certain stuff, they can suffer immensely & get back up again or never recover & kill themselves, or never recover but also never muster up the courage to ctb - there are no rules... The only thing that's certain is that no one will like this post.

Through the years, there have been points when I have gotten better but I always relapse and it gets worse each time. Currently in one of those relapse periods and don't know if I'll make it out this time

So do stalkers and the people in it that attempt to ensure that you are trapped in a cycle of abuse and misery. Or that you will process it for an extended period of time.

Self-destruct process
1 becomes less attractive. it starts from the age of 30 at female
2 you are losing stamina
3 you get chronic diseases without end
4 one becomes more and more forgetful
5 your eyes keep getting worse

you are also slowly becoming impotent

do you know the movie logan's escape

I find . That one is picked up from 36 years and everyone celebrates a farewell party together with sex all together without taboos everyone can do what they want and then in the last hour there is a signal and we all voluntarily burned everything with great heat until we become ashes.

 

[ClownMe]

Yep, as I get older it only gets worse.

 

[Gosuipo]

Life = suffering

 

[FuneralCry]

Life is completely unnecessary, we were all perfectly fine not existing until we were forced to live. Life is just pointless suffering and there is no limit as to how horrible things can get either. If we think we have it bad now it can get so much worse. Our only true purpose is to die, everything we do is a distraction from death, so it frustrates me how we are denied a right to die and the society does everything to prolong life. I see people who want to live in a world like this as being delusional.

 

[eternalmelancholy]

Life sucks and then you die. I always liked your threads OP. You keep it real. Even if the truth is bitter, it is better than lying to yourself. Some lives are just not worth living. I wished society would acknowledge this instead of forcing people to live at all costs.

a lot of people can't understand that things don't get better for some people. It gets better for a few, but not everyone. Maybe it's an evolutionary thing to believe that it gets better despite the glaring evidence in your reality that it won't. We have evolved to delude ourselves into thinking that the future will be better, which keeps us alive. That would explain why so many people believe something that is clearly not true, it goes beyond culture because it's a mentality that is everywhere and has been around for a long time

It turns out, people lie to themselves about three things: They view themselves in implausibly positive ways. They think they have far more control over their lives than they actually do. And they believe the future will be better than the evidence of the present can possibly justify. -Alice

I do agree with you. It's a hard truth to swallow. Getting older (I am 70 yrs old) entails losses. Some fast, some slow but losses. Must focus on everything and everyone as being temporary.

If you don't mind me asking, how have you managed to hold on for so long? The prospect of suffering for another 50 years is the stuff of nightmares. The way I see it is that suicide is merely self deliverance from a life time of pain and misery. After all no one is going to give you a prize for holding out to the bitter end. You are going to die regardless. None of this bullshit even matters once you are dead.

I was lucky enough to meet a man who was good at the things I wasn't (and vice versa) so we got married. He saved my life.

so true
my future is either manual labor jobs which will drive me to suicide or being homeless which will drive me to suicide. Many people in my situation exit in their 40s or 50s. I am a statistic. I'm at a fork in the road, but both roads end up at the same destination, self-annihiliation.

 

[D&D]

All our roads end at the exact same destination. Death. The only differences are the speed and the comfort/discomfort of our coach and our level of tolerance.

yes, and there should be no shame in wanting to reach that destination early and taking the necessary steps to reach there.

What kills me the most is how obtuse obtaining happiness can be. You can be happy sometimes, but not all the time; and being satisfied isn't the same as being happy, etc.

There's a lot of criteria that needs to be met to have a life relatively free of distress, and if you trip up on any aspect along the way (stable career, solid friend group, life partner, good health) it can bring down the quality of other life aspects you may or may not have established yet.

I am experiencing the triple whammy of unstable career, no friend group, no partner, and moderate health (not for long, since I drink often). The longer I remain in this state, the weaker I get, and the less likely I will be able to recover. It's a long and painful ride to the bottom.

I used to think that my own life sucks in regards to other people's life, I used to think that the problem was me and that I just didn't know how to enjoy life.

Now the older I get the more I realize that everyone's life sucks but that most people are in complete denial of this reality and only pretend to be happy.

Their tolerance for dealing with life's hurdles is a lot higher than ours because many of them have forged and developed support units that prevent them from ever feeling truly hopeless in their moments of darkness.

Their distraction stacks are also higher. No time to think about mortality when you have a dinner date at 6pm with your partner, bringing the kids to daycare in the morning, cooking things for Christmas dinner at your mother-in-law's house, going golfing with friends at noon tomorrow, working on that presentation your boss gave you, etc. Their schedules are packed.

Illusions under which most toil serve that exact purpose - softening the harshness of reality thus enabling the denial. It is a part of survival/self-preservation kit humans come equipped with. Some, not many, figure it out. When that happens - kit no longer servers its purpose. Because illusion is only illusion until you know it as such. Like a magic trick. Once you are shown the 'trick', there is no longer any 'magic' in it.

yes, and there should be no shame in wanting to reach that destination early and taking the necessary steps to reach there.

Especially no shame.
