I give up

One part of life may be finding and maintaining happiness… but there are so many other parts to life, too. As you’ve written, life can be pretty complicated. I’m sorry about your relationship. Please don’t stop trying… There could be so much more in your future. Right now, it may be difficult to remember the good times. Take a moment to catch your breath and see what you can do to move forward. If you would like to talk, many here will listen.

You mentioned that you’re not sure what to do… A lot of us are at that same juncture. I don’t want you to experience pain…. and I don’t want you to end that pain by giving up. There has to be a solution. I know that you’re stressed at the moment… and I have experienced enough depression to not wish it on anybody… but the pain can stop while you continue to live. Please remember that.

Think about it… You might not have given yourself a good chance. If you don’t try, you can’t know ahead of time that you won’t achieve anything. Accomplishments don’t happen overnight. They often take a lot of effort. If you don’t try, there is nothing to fail at. You’re definitely not a failure. I hope you think about the things you like to do and consider pursuing them. If you have indeed waited so long, there is nothing wrong with giving yourself an honest chance to make things work.

Perhaps it’s important for you to love and accept yourself first. I know you’ll make the right choice… You have too much potential. Give yourself a chance.

Just remember… If you need to talk, there are many here who will listen.
