Hello.
I will be around for the next hour if anyone wants to talk. I don’t mind what it is, I just want to listen and advise. No judgement.
<3
I will refresh page every 5 mins.
I don’t have any magic solution or words of wisdom to save anyone.
All I know is I wanted to die. And now I want to live. It is possible. please don’t forget that.

I just don’t want to feel this empty anymore.
No it’s not…
Really? You can see into the future can you? Cool, can you tell me the lottery numbers for next week, I am thinking of redecorating my place. 🙂
I can’teven begin to explain my situation…if my therapist and other professionals thought my case is hopeless…
Hmmm, sounds interesting. I once starting making a an old 8000 piece puzzle jigsaw I found in my parents room and after nearly a year and a half of touching at it every day I realized, there was a piece missing. For years I googled and wandered into every toy and puzzle shop I ever encountered to find that same puzzle.
That took another 5 years. But I found it. and I finished that Jigsaw. Boom!
They sound like very bad therapists if they said you were hopeless. Very bad indeed. Why dont you start with something simple. Cant cure you in a day after all. Whats on your mind right now?
Of course we can see into the future. We just can’t see EVERYTHING in the future. Hell, we can’t even see “everything” right now!
But yeah, if you know what to look for and how to interpret what is observable, you damn sure can “see into the future.” But to demand someone see something like “lotto numbers,” which are intentionally as randomized as possible (supposedly), in order to validate /any/ foresight at all, is just ridiculous.
Here’s an example: ask a person whose spinal cord has been severed if they will ever walk again “in the future.” The answer is obviously “no,” and it’s because we understand things “now” which have near-certain implications for any possible future.
If you kill someone, can you “see into the future” that they will Always be dead? Can you “see into the future” that dead people (truly, fully, completely dead people, not anomaly fringe cases where people are clinically without vital signs, but soon awaken…) never come back? I can.
“Call me psychic!”
I can see that dead people stay dead, and alive people eventually become dead. I can see that if i have no money, i cannot buy anything.
If you understand cause and effect and the human condition to any significant degree, then you can certainly “see into the future.” It’s just that the farther ahead you try to look, and the more details you try to pin-down, the less accurate foresight becomes, because there are too many variables which can have widespread and extended impacts. So who knows? I could say the right thing to the right person, and be filthy rich tomorrow… right? lol, no. There is no observable cause that can possibly lead to producing that effect, so i can rule it out. We can observe lots of things which tell us what we should reasonably expect, even if we can’t know all the details until it happens.
How do I not suck at life? Lol.
Why so serious Clevername? And to counter Darren Brown predicted the lottery numbers live on tv, The first ever spinal core repair on a mammal was done last month, there is a ted talk about.
You cannot predict what will happen in any major way, I never thought I would get better, meet my gf, get a degree, get a full time job. But I did, and now I am happy. Well less sad anyway, never really goes away. But I dont have dark thoughts anymore.
PoisonTongue, get a hair cut, stop wearing baggy pants and get a job you bum!
But you can predict what will happen in major ways. You just have to adjust your predictions as new information comes in. If you make a prediction and then “lock it in,” well, stuff you didn’t predict might interfere with it. It’s like an ever evolving network of fractals.
Lotto number prediction can be a hoax (whether it is or not, i have no idea, but it’s “a likely story…”), or even a “hack,” where the cipher is cracked and a person can then use a reverse-engineered algorithm to make an accurate prediction of a “random number generator,” which, by definition, cannot actually be 100% random… but can get effectively close enough to call it “randomized.”
Spinal cord repair on humans is not going to be widely available or fully effective anytime in the near future. Maybe in 100 years or so, it’ll be “easy,” but right now, it’s extremely uncommon.
Why so serious? How ironic. If you want to know the answer, consider how that question relates to The Joker.
So i suppose i will pose this counter to your question:
Why not?
