I feel like my life is over. I can no longer do the things I used to do or form the relationships I used to have.

It’s only over when you decide that it is.

please know you are not alone…once I was without hope or couldn’t have a gf because risperdal made me impotent…I was suicidal…after two attempts I thankfully didn’t succeed obviously thank goodness…I worked on finding hope for myself…just little hopes like a comforting cup of coffee in the morning…a walk outside in the morning…things like that…appreciating nature I found very inspiring and still buy myself flowers for my living room table every once in a while…I got my first glimpse of hope from a bed of tulips freshly bloomed one morning…started painting and got on another med without sexual side effects and been happy ever since…long story…sorry…good luck…work on little hopes at first…we are here for you.

You should try some stand-up comedy or something. You’re really funny.

My social life never began, but I am still alive. I am not able to do what I want to do, but my responsibility of life is not yet over.
Drama and pain can go on and on, but that is life telling us to get back at it.
Death is not a resignation of circumstances, it is a end of circumstances.
At one point of my life, I got so upset that I made myself sick, but ended up coming out of it because being sick really gives you that animistic feeling of what death is really like.
Once you feel something like that you do not go back voluntarily.
If you are just feeling bad, then listen to some music, or play a movie, anything to distract your mind and let it reset.
I recently came up with the phrase ‘Live life as is.’
Which means to understand/act on the circumstances without being overwhelmed by them. And that phrase does not mean accept life as is, which leaves me room for criticism and change.

No, I feel far from that.
My mom told me that things don’t really start coming together until you’re in your 40s and 50s.
Stay strong and be positive. You’re still really young and you have your whole life ahead of you.
Take care.

I used to feel like my life was over. I’ve found a lot of good times since then though. Lately with my low motivation I feel as though I’m just going through day to day with no real zeal or much purpose. Idk maybe something will change. Maybe I need to try a pick me up med as the lowered dopamine is taking its toll. Your life isn’t over though. You can still find some enjoyment somewhere. Make it the best you can. That doesn’t mean achieving, but try and have a good time.

Sometimes I feel sad about the entire concept of life.
If feels like work. Working towards stuff, health, wealth, relationships, whatever it is for you
Then on top of that you just get older. And die. It seems pointless idk, getting really frustrated with the whole idea of it lately honestly

Life begins at forty right. It’s just starting for me.

I’m kinda like that. I don’t explore anything unless it’s a google search - that’s pretty much all my life now. Googling stuff for help with whatever question i have been thrown by life.
I don’t live for myself, I live for others atp

It feels like that but I’m just desperatley trying to find something to hold on to. I get you about relationships and doing stuff. Its crippling but maybe we can achieve a new perspective on life.

No, it’s gotten slower and less eventful but it’s not over. I might make a big move next year and it will be a new change and a new chapter in my life. I might be in a situation where I can’t isolate.

Same here, I can’t do anything I usually do. Life is pain now.

They say when people jump off a building or a bridge or hang themselves… immediately afterwards they change their perception, but by then it’s too late!
Such is life, I hope you don’t do anything you regret!

Only 2.5 km this evening:
We were on the lake after sunset and couldn’t go far without lighting. Have some on the way from Amazon for tomorrow.

Over three decades ago my first psychiatrist told me that I would not experience meaningful recovery. No career. No wife. No kid. No independent living. They would try to make me comfortable with lots of meds. That was all I was going to get.
This is a photo of the daughter I wasn’t supposed to have from the marriage I wasn’t supposed to dream of and the life I was told I was incapable of living. This picture was taken this evening. It was a very good evening.
I decide when my life is over. Me. Not my doctor and certainly not this chickenshxx illness that is all hat and and no cattle.
