I am good so far today!! How are you?
Yay!!! It's good news!! I'm sorry that such moments are probably rare for you, but I'm happy you have them!!!

I'm doing relatively okay, I think. Mood swings are a little overwhelming and exhausting :):)

We're almost all so young on this forum. It's just sad.

For me, it's just sad how a turn of events can change my life forever - turning it into suffering.

Those who are still suffering day by day - I don't know how you do it. My SI are too strong right now.
I am 70 years old and when I saw all the young ages here...I felt very bad for all the people here!! I know it isn't much but I truly send hugs to all !!

You are sophisticated for your age!!! My parents are younger and they don't know how to navigate this site thankfully…

I'm 42, the only reason I'm still alive is I got married and had kids young. Killing myself is my dream, but my family doesn't deserve the fallout of me abandoning them prematurely. I need to make sure they are set up on a firm foundation before I jetpack out of existence.

The only upside I've seen in 25 years of SI - every so often I'll have a nice beautiful moment. They are rare - but when they happen it's very special.

We live in sad times. We live lives, of extra characters in dystopian movie.

beautiful planet but society is awful.
I can empathize with that. There are bright spots, of course, times that renew one's faith in humanity, but sadly we shouldn't that, our faith in humanity restored. Our current culture needs some seriously overhauling, maybe a re-plow and and plant. (I don't garden much so I'm not sure that's an appropriate metaphor, but you get the gist.)

Indeed there are many things i love about this world, things like nature and wildlife or animals of any kind. Music, photography, kind and empathetic people. That's just my personal stuff, but on a global level our societies are terribly unkind and reveal inequality all over. I am not smart enough to know even temporary solutions, and even though as stated i still love certain things, i cannot cope with where i live. My landlord is appalling, and my health terrible. What does bring me peace-though i do not advocate it for everyone, certainly at least until all other options have been exhausted-is knowing that in a couple of weeks my problems and pain will be over. I wish things were different for me and many, many others.

I wish things were different for you too. And I empathize with the health issues, which are made so much more difficult within our current system. I swear I have daydreams about a doctor, one doctor who knows the whole of me and can treat systemically instead of a bunch of specialists who stick to their own little fields, often "don't know" and frequently don't seem to care.
I go to them when I *have* to these days and even *then,* via tele-visit if I can manage it
Sorry for the rift (and all my freaking errors in my previous post; must have neglected to proof that one.)
Having a terrible landlord added to health problems is well, just so unfair and plain sucks.
I want to write something helpful and uplifting, but does that ever really make anyone feel better? What people need, what you need, is actual, real help.
One thing I do sometimes say to people ready to let go is this: Take heart; you *will* die. In fact, that is the single thing in this life you cannot prevent. Your death is inevitable; you cannot stop it.
I don't know how much peace that will give you now as I can hear the suffering in your post, but maybe knowing that hey, you could slip in the bathroom tomorrow, might bring you a smile.
:)
LOL, yes, I do like dark humour-nice to see you here too!
Yes, I know what you mean about that extreme tiredness. At our age our bodies are well on the decline, but it's really the mental tiredness, the anhedonia (my new favourite word) and the hopelessness - we've seen it all so it's hard not to be cynical or apathetic.
Sorry, I missed this earlier.
I like it too, your new word. I love words so learning new ones, hey, ironically in this case, gives me pleasure. Ha.
I completely agree; it's the mental/emotional/psychological (I really need to look those up and parse them out) pain that is so exhausting. Especially for so many of us that have battled such since we can recall memories.

The apathy scares me the most, when it hits. It's like a ghost; hard to fight.

Thank you for your kind reply, just someone being nice somedays can be uplifting. Sometimes you cannot be uplifted and that's to be expected, however your paragraph concerning death does bring comfort i think to many like us it really does make a difference. As they say no-one gets out of here alive, whether you have had a very lucky and fulfilling life or one that is empty and just replaced with despair and pain. I know one thing and that's the fact i am glad i found this site. I am like possibly most people here socially isolated, so it can be good to use this forum. Even if you don't want to "interact", others posts can still be supportive. Thanks again.
