I’m 23, turning 24 in a month. Â I haven’t made any progress in life in 6 years, and it’s gotten to the point I can’t motivate myself to leave the house. Â It takes me effort to eat a small amount of food each day. Â I haven’t had friends in years. Â My family has pretty much given up on me. Â They stopped trying to understand, or make me happy a few years ago. Â I’ve become a burden on them emotionally and monetarily. Â I plan to commit suicide, but I’m terrified that it would fail and I’d end up even worse than I am now. Â I have no clue what to do anymore.

well i may not understand the stuff at the beginning since I’m only 15 and the worst of everything only started 6 months ago, though it feels like a lifetime, b but I understand your family giving up on you and not having any friends. And I especially understand being a burden. I’ve never met anyone who’s as much of a burden as I feel. I was so close somany times but I was scared of the same thing. I understand it and I will not give up on you. I don’t give up on others, only on myself. and a lot of people here understand and won’t give up. But I’ll let them speak for themselves.
And I’m guessing you’re new. Welcome to SP
Lorith, I’m just a little bit older than you and going through many of the same things. I never imagined my mid-20s would be like this. No friends, relying on my family to help me pay for things, being a total failure and discouraged to do anything about it. I always planned on being successful when young, wanted to own a house already, not be wealthy or anything but just have a comfortable life started. I thought this was supposed to be the best years of life, but I can sit here alone for an entire weekend, nobody calls me or tries to make plans with me, it’s pathetic. I wish I had some advice but really I’m just here because sometimes it’s nice to know you aren’t alone. Usually when my eyes open in the morning I immediately wonder if I am in hell.
I hear you man, I too feel the same and i’m in the same age group. I too wish to just end it all but i dreadfully fear of it failing and ending worst that I already am. The only thing I have now is hope that some opportunity to change my life will come my way and seize it. I too wish there was some thing out there to guide me in this time of confusion. Now I just too tired to cared, to think, to play, to do anything, I just want to sleep and never wake up(maybe wake up in the future like Fry where I won’t be shunned for what people think I am). I hate seeing my family do nothing do help me or help themselves. So tired of this life, crying my self to sleep asking the Creator why!
