Discussion Would you say you are more bored with life- or, in extreme pain? Poll

[Forever Sleep]

Obviously, it's not an exact thing to pinpoint. Still, I get the impression that we have a range of experiences on here. There are some members in obvious extreme pain- and my heart goes out to them. I know I couldn't bear to live like that. I think a lot of us perhaps have less extreme pain. We are just bored or sick of our lives and can't see meaningful ways to change them.

This isn't meant as a competition! Personally, I think all reasons for feeling so unhappy are valid. I'm just curious really.

For me, I'm grateful to not be in extreme pain or distress- physically or mentally. Mine is more an extreme apathy towards life really.

I voted "other" because I'm neither in physical or mental pain. But my actual personal ´problem is expectations for my future are not appealing to me. But with some "luck" that couold have a real chance to find a turn around, at least temporary and I would take it immediately!

 

[Bronzehawkattack]

Psychological pain I guess. It manifests in that dull pain in my heart we're all familiar with, except I've been feeling it literally every single day and I'm tired of it.

I voted other, I was in extreme physical pain but through a little bit a luck and a little bit of work I've reduced it to mild physical pain which is bearable and I'm able to try to enjoy life again although it's still not without it's ups and downs.

I wouldn't call it extreme, but every day hurts so I went with the psychological pain option. I'm apathetic a lot, but for me that's something that keeps me alive because it provides a barrier to help dull life.

i voted 'bored', but it's more like apathy. i just don't think i'll ever get to do the things i wanted to do, or realise the things i wanted to achieve. growing older, having kids, becoming incapable of more things doesn't appeal to me either. i think when i was a teenager i so strongly believed that i would have died before getting to where i am now, so i'm just freeballing life at this point and it's suffocating.

I'm largely just done with humanity and life in general. Not necessarily bored just beyond disappointed

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case I'm just repulsed by existence and tired of it, I also always dread what lies ahead, honestly existing in general is just something so terrible, torturous and unnecessary. And I know that it will just get more unbearable as long as I'm trapped here but of course to me existence was never something desirable in the first place, existence itself is the ultimate problem.

Yeah if someone had asked me to come out to this morbidly absurd reality I probably would have said no, I too am disappointed with what the world is comparing it to what it could be.
But no one really gives a fuck

I am struggling with the weight of this seemingly meaningless existence, being born into the wrong gender and living in a delusional society.

 

[BlazingBob]

I'm in absolute misery physically and mentally. My body is torturing me. I've done all I can and more. My life is over. The worst is the extreme sleep deprivation. It's torment. If I were a cat or dog I'd be put to sleep but being that humans are sadistic cunts and love seeing others suffer I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands if I ever want to escape this prison. Right now I'm too exhausted to do even that.

Bit of a mixture between absolute boredom with life and psychological pain. I've been very lucky not to ever have had any bad physical pain yet but I'm terrified of it after watching some of my family members die. Thanks to that trauma I've not only got depression and anhedonia about life but now existential depression and anxiety as well.

 

[NoLoveNoHope]

I chose other, I'm quite sick of this world and in psychological distress but neither overpower the other. I don't like humanity as a species as I haven't seen such constant and horrific actions put upon another member of the species. It feels like there's barely any empathy for one another apart from a select few spaces.

I feel absolutely isolated from everyone because nobody thinks like I do since I'm neurodivergent. It's quite tiring to do basic chores so I have added health complications. I guess I'm a mix of everything.

 

[StolenLife]

If my only problem was boredom I probably wouldn't want to ctb. The problem is that I'm in severe mental pain, tortured by my thoughts and paranoia.

 

[voldussy]

it's a mixture of things
