First a few notices.
I know I must be the millionth person to blabber about how I’m too much of a coward to kill myself (though you might say suicide is not courageous) and I apologize for annoying you. You don’t need to read if your busy.
Now an introduction.
I hate my real name so just call me Mortimer (changing it to that someday if I can) I’m 19 years old from that small country Qatar that’s to the left of the UAE, might have heard of it. I don’t look like the people here, I don’t act or think like the people here, my interests and everything else differs from everyone from here. I’m an Apatheist, which means I don’t care whether or not any god exists because quite frankly I dislike the divine.
Now for the reason why I hate life.
First of all you should know that I love my family, unfortunately they won’t like my opinions on faith so I can either live a lie here, or cut my ties and live abroad. This is reason number one.
Next reason on why I can’t wait to have a life threatening disease is humanity today. I used to look forward to the future, especially excited about love. You see I’m a hopeless romantic, so I’m notoriously picky but if I find her I’ll be hers for life and beyond..although that’s what I used to feel. I’ve lost trust in people, social anxiety and all. thinking everyone hates me in secret, thinking that whoever I might think I’d fall for would eventually cheat on me or ask for a divorce or something worse than both. I’m sure I’ll never find the love I want so that’s love gone. People today annoy me, the constant conflict over ridiculous matters. People thinking they can do anything they want if it’s legal, doesn’t anyone care about self worth anymore? I honestly believe that words like dignity won’t exist after another century. moral degeneration is a problem, people today are pathetic. And I don’t mean that as an insult, it’s just how they are.
…I’m starting college in the UK this September for marine biology but Im changing to applied physics, I’m so stressed out that I developed Alopecia, I keep thinking something is bound to go wrong. Maybe I’ll turn out to be too stupid to actually graduate, maybe I’ll do something to embarrassing in front of everyone and look like a fool. and looking at myself I know that chances are those things will happen.
I said how I think most people today are pathetic, truth is I’m the wretched and pitiful one. I mess everything I try to do, I stutter, I’ve had insomnia for the past year, I’m lazy, slow..
I like to daydream along some music. I used to dream a lot of thrilling things happening to me even if they were impossible, lately I’ve only dreamed about killing myself is crouching at a dark damp corner somewhere feeling miserable. I’ll always be a below average human being. And even if I was above average and talented at something, I’m still just some human. I’ll live until probably 87 if I don’t kill myself first (if I gather up the courage) and die. and after 30 years whatever friends and family I’d have would forget about me.
people don’t really know what happens when someone dies do they? some people believe in some religious books written centuries ago, others make up and after life and some think that you simply vanish. I accepted the fact that it simply is impossible to know I actually am dead..unless of course I do vanish in which case my pitiable consciousness is gone anyway.
so really I think the main reason on why I hate my life is because of how small weak and insignificant I am, even compared to the rest of the global population, I’m not a physics prodigy nor a skilled doctor. and there’s no way to change that.

Hello Mortimer. Well I tend to agree with you on your views on humanity. For the majority of our population, things like ethics, morals, dignity, those things like that are long gone. Or they’re just tools for others to try to show their superiority over others. That being said, why do you feel small, weak and insignificant? You were accepted for marine biology, but are transferring over to applied physics? Both of those things take someone with intelligence, so you must have that. Also, you said you’re going to the UK from Qatar. Well there’s your chance my friend to live your own life, free of the pressures from family. Make it what you want my friend. Take those day dreams and make them a reality.
I’ve lost all hope..I can’t think of my life getting good enough for me to want it.
I was just in the kitchen looking at a sharp long knife, thinking about Robin Williams. I tried cutting myself but I chickened out. coward.
if only I had a pill I could take.
I can relate to every word of your post. I don’t want to follow a God that tortures people for an eternity just because they aren’t believers and I too feel weak and hopeless in this messed up world. I was a hopeless romantic but it put off girls from 20. I made it to university in the UK but dropped out in the final year because I literally was too stupid.
I don’t know what the solution is… I’ve tried so hard for so long yet stay stuck on square one. I live by the saying “instead of lamenting over your flaws, redouble your efforts” but they’re never enough. You sound like you have more ability than me. I think you should give it your best shot and if it doesn’t work out then at least you tried.
Hi Mortimer, I relate to some if your post. I live in the USA and was scheduled to start a masters program in England last year but I was too fucked up so I deferred. The school I am scheduled to go to in England in a few months (if I am alive) has incredibly student support programs. I was shocked at how much support was offered through the University, my school and my college (far more than offered in the US). If you haven’t already, it may be worth checking out…. just thought I’d throw it out there
