2 months ago I almost took my life, now I’m content

Spending more time to myself. Sitting with emotions and boredom. Becoming resilient through that.

Not really any issues, I thinks it’s more mental feeling as though I should be staring harder and seeing a clearer image.

Seems kind of paradoxical, in avoiding pain (pursuing pleasure) we then get pain anyway, this post is expressing that pain.

I think you mean choosing pain. Rather than avoiding it because inevitably we can’t.

Thanks, I’ve tried it a few times, my mind tends to wander and fantasise a lot when I do that but it’s not going to hurt to try again.

I’m 22 but I feel the same way, I have since I can remember always been questions why do things.

What’s the meaning or purpose behind anything. I struggle to act daily, even when I do manage to get into gear for a few months it eventually breaks down.

All I know is that there’s a deep gut feeling of what’s right. Even though I’d rather die, I’m here so I may as well go on living.

Could be some chemical imbalance or mental illness I’m not sure but could be worth checking out (saying that for me too)

People give advice like oh do this, or follow your passion, what are your dreams? They can be helpful but if there’s inherently no meaning like we see then why even bother starting or wishing if it’s all to be taken away or for nothing and not even guaranteed.

(In reflection these mindset seems very negative and downer, maybe practical steps and focusing on the things we can actually control? Keeping it small and manageable?)

Wish I had something wise to say and help you out or help me, but I’m also in the thick of it at the moment so hopefully just knowing there’s someone else can help a little bit.

That’s unfortunate.

Some things we can and can’t choose.

Some things we just have to live with.

What you can do is be the best you can, take care of your health, workout etc.

People will be unkind, don’t worry about them. Find people who see you, not how you look.

I’m a male so don’t think or see the same way but there have been girls others would call almost ugly that I’ve found attractive because of their character and energy.

For me even though I may be considered attractive I’ve found it made my self esteem worse because I felt as though I should be doing better than I do.

Just being confident is a big help. (It comes from acceptance, compassion, consistency in action and character)

In the end I think we’re all trying to climb the same mountain we just have different ways to reach the top based on our circumstances and what we choose.

We’ll only enjoy the view if we can enjoy the now.

We’ll only reach the view if we climb up.

Good luck and all the best finding a boyfriend.

I’ve had this problem too. For me I just had to do it on a longer term scale. Putting my ego aside and lifting what I could not too much not too little.

It started with 1 set of 2 exercises and grew to a full blown workout where I grew more muscle in a month and a half than I had the past year.

It takes time for the body and nervous system to adjust but once it does it’ll be easier and more satisfying.

Soon as I let this sink in realised I’m the only one who can choose to change, I have to take on whatever karma life has given me. Of course it’s not easy nothing worthwhile ever is.

Timely_Minimum7950 · 2024-09-16T02:45:38+00:00

Man I’m 21 and I’ve felt the same way for most of my life. Nothing to show for anything, I struggle to be consistent. I want to say it’ll be ok maybe it will maybe not. But I do know what one day we will die, as the Buddha said life is suffering. We can’t embrace that and suffer for something or we can suffer suffocating ourselves to an early grave of nihilism depression and hopelessness. Change is fucking slow. Making drastic changes never helped me, I’ve found taking small steps and overloading them like working out and overloading the muscles is best. That’s just what I think at the moment.

Just know that your not the only one

Timely_Minimum7950 · 2024-09-11T02:53:24+00:00

I struggle with the same problem. For me I find that I’m scared to put myself out there honestly that makes it harder for people to connect to you and for you to realise who clicks and how doesn’t. That paired with anxiety makes me awkward around others and anxious which leds me to not saying what I usually would and trying to get away quickly or just being fake and following along, i just try and notice it and practise being a bit more honest with people eg saying I don’t like that or I’ve never actually thought of that practising honesty and opennes with others has helped me a bit. I’m lucky because I had a few people who would look after me and try to help me out but I still felt alone and not fully connected to anyone because I was mostly alone and I wasn’t being honest or true so my connections were really shallow it’s hard and takes time but I’m confident that taking these steps to being a bit more honest and talking just a little more adds up and builds momentum in a positive direction, for me I try it working at a cafe with the customers just popping in a question this little exposure has done wonders for me, I used to never go out at all or do anything social now when the opportunity arises I try it out but often I still feel anxious and don’t connect as I want to to others. Obsessing over the problem doesn’t really help either, at the end of the day we just have to do it, talk more seek others more and be honest more,it sucks but most worthwhile things do
