Is it normal that i dont think i'm not strong enough to live?

I honestly don't think I was made strong enough(mentaly) to live this life. I always feel overwhelmed by what is happening in my life and ever since I can remember, i've not been able to deal properly. I am conviced that I was not ment to be here and that I won't be able to live as long as everyone else. I know that one day I'll feel like ive had enough and i'll just end my life. Is it normal?

    We all feel like that at least once in our lives.

    I felt that way years ago, & I even got hooked on tranquillisers as a result, which I managed to quit. I blame my parents for not teaching me how to look after myself & be independant.

    I know how you feel. I feel this way most days. Honestly not sure what keeps me going each day.

    What you should do is...

    1. Tell yourself every day as often as you can, "I am strong!" Say it loudly and often. Eventually you will start to believe it.

    Affirmations help us realize we are not weak in any way. You can repeat this as often as you need to. "I am strong mentally and physically." Or "I am healthy. Mind, body and soul." Or you could try both.

    You can even make up your own. Just remember to be positive about it. You can try going here too.

    There are links to pages with more information. You could Google "Affirmations" too.

    2. Find something you like to do and commit yourself to it. Maybe volunteering at a local animal shelter or church. You'll discover that there is someone or something out there that needs you. And you'll feel good if you help an animal or a person.

    Also, you should seek help if you feel the need to hurt yourself. A doctor, a friend, a relative, a spouse... I'm sure someone will help you.

    I sincerely hope this helps and that you don't hurt yourself in any way.

    This is nature. only strong people can survive therefore produce their good genes.thats the way it is and thats why we have civilisation. otherwise you can always move to communist country like Korea, where all people get security by goverment- get housing,job, healthcare.many people feel this way,but all the time.

    Normal. Some people just aren't meant to be alive, and it's a complete fluke that we weren't miscarried.

    Poor little thing. Maybe someone will take pity on you and look after you.
