Things will never get better. Not for anyone. You won’t get through this, it is not some phase. This is your life and it’s time to accept it. You will never be happy, you will never feel complete. The shit that happened to you happened for a reason. Not to make you stronger, but to make you weaker. To show you that you are not in control. We are not in control, and it is not getting better, stop trying to fool yourself.Â

Have you lived as long as any human possibly could? If not, how could you say with absolute certainty that things would not get better with the passing of time; with maturity and wisdom?
Sometimes, the stuff that happens to us can help us as we move forward. We can learn what not to do… which is a powerful lesson in life. There will be others who experience similar happenings… and we can use our own experiences to help them get through it. Sometimes navigating life’s difficulties takes some time… You are your biggest ally in life. Don’t give up.
People always say not to give up. What if the only way to move forward is to give up? What if the only way to experience peace is to give up? Fuck this I’m giving up
“What if the only way to move forward is to give up?”
What if you’re wrong? You say that shit only happens to make you weaker. A mouse that gets shocked by electricity every time it tries to pick up a piece of cheese will eventually determine that attempting to pick up the cheese is a mistake. That mouse is now wiser, stronger and more prepared for the future.
When it comes to ‘giving up’ – you only get to make that mistake once.
your experiences .. your interpretation (influenced by previous experiences and expectations) => your outlook on life
others opinion, even if they are 999 to disagree with you, doesn’t truly matter unless you choose to be unsure of your outlook
& there’s also the option to remain a bit curious, open-minded even if life gave you every reason to become close-minded, only rely on your own outlook etc
f-ck it .. I sound like an old ass know-it-all 🙁
iv been always told that things do get better if they dont for you silvershadow sorry it has to be that way for you

from a old ass don’t know-it-all but knows something…sometimes being brave is more important than thinking….so if you ‘think’ you are done now good perhaps you due for a rest from thinking so much.
1) Acceptance can be very wise and humiliating and scary and can leave room for curiosity, even just a bit of it like Truthbetold said, to sneak in to your oh so full up mind Silver Shadow.
2) it doesn’t always get better but when it does it does through almost unnoticeable tiny tiny micromovements….like being just a bit curious like Truthbetold suggested…can be like a rope dropped down into the dark hole I sometimes sink into.
3) Control is a temporary illusion dependent on circumstance…influence is a more reasonable goal.
your experiences .. your interpretation (influenced by previous experiences and expectations) => your outlook on life
Yes true and simultaneously…
those expectations are based on previous experiences too. I agree Silver Shadow that control is total BS…we control nothing, we influence what we can and accept the rest. We are made by our environment… folks forget we come into this world pretty much a blank slate that everyone and everything writes all over long before we ever have the consciousness to know what is happening to us. Too much consciousness is exhausting so if you ‘think’ you are done now perhaps you are done thinking so much, time to feel or time for a distraction or a simple comfort?
Influence is all we can hope for and sometimes to crawl toward a bit of unfamiliar light that could turn out to be blinding. Sometimes I cann’t even crawl … looking up is all I can do and other times I just lay in a puddle of my own pain.
I’m scared as hell of trying, of sticking around, of looking for better…I’ve got only coldness in my life for the most part and that makes sense as it is a version of what I was raised with so I feel and think that is all there is. So far today I’m just more scared of dying and it is true on a good day I am a bit curious like truthbetold says and am filled up enough with love to not be trolling for support from others and yes I feel better.
I have to say I agree with you. It’s not necessarily the life you have it’s how you live it and it’s pretty fucking hard to force your brain to be happy about living when you just don’t see the point. There is no point. I just wish I was one of those people that was delusional enough to think there is; to care. The difference between me and them is that they have some inherent biological appreciation for mere life itself, and I can’t relate. I don’t want a career or money or a house or a family or to get old. Sure I’m young now and I can find some stupid superficial distraction to keep me here. But why bother? No life = no regrets. Can’t feel pathetic and useless if you’re dead. Can’t feel choked and frustrated and miserable if you’re dead. Not like I’m trying to push you over the edge or anything but I find it futile when people try to tell me to hang in there and give me advice on how to live. I know full well it’s my own mind keeping me unhappy and there’s not much I can do about that, trust me, it always finds a way to screw you over in time; no matter the re-evaluating or the drugs or the therapy. If you haven’t tried to live, just try. Otherwise I completely understand where you’re coming from.
SilverShadow,
Speaking only for myself I am with you man.
I do not even know if I will make it the next few months.
Of course when I get my materials in hand it is over.
