PLEASE NO HATERS
I have always thought to myself that i was born in the wrong timme and that im not meant to have this life, nothing works out for me in my life and and everyone around me in the past 5 years has moved on in life so well and im still the same as i was 5 years ago and havnt changed. I feel as though im sat in time and time is moving past me and i cant do anything to move with it. I feel as though i could end my life as easy as anything and it wouldn't bother my but im not sure if its the right thing to do. I have no one to talk to who would understand me. I feel lost in a maze and i cant remember how to get out.

    Same here. I was told that I will get nowhere and that I am zero, Somewhere deep inside I used to feel same way about myself, anybody else in my place would have end their life years ago if not last month.
    I feel I have nothing to lose any more. It motivates me to keep trying because even if I fail I won't lose anything.
    Is there anything you wish/want to do? Take small steps towards it. Don't get demotivated by progress of others.

        Don't let these feelings takeover your mind. You have anybody you can talk to?
        Your reason for depression? Things you wanted to do before this?
        Things don't go well for everybody, for those it does they go forward. You must have at least tried to achieve it so be happy with yourself that you tried and try to get some motivation from your past efforts. You can always go back to basics and try things in a new way. Don't give up on yourself, your dreams and life. At least give it one try before giving up on everything.

    Thank you to every person who has comment and gave advice, you have all helped me and gave me me some insight and ideas on what i can do because i hate the way i am right now. Opening you on here today has pushed my to email The Samaritans and i have been talking to them all day and hopefully they can help me more.
    Thank you every one, true angles :)

    I'm pretty sure I spoke to you before on a similar post. You know if you're this lonely you can consider your interaction on this site and the internet as "having company" for now but I suggest you get yourself occupied with a hobby, read, work, pray if you have to but don't let all these sad needless thoughts bog you down because there's always someone worse off than you. Be patient and go about your life and soon you'll find some relief. This storm will pass. I also get into a rut often and if it weren't for my mom criticizing me, calling me a lazy ass so that I work to prove her wrong...I wouldn't be doing much at all.

      i understand what your saying and i know there is always someone out there worst than the last but im not using this site as interaction, i admit im lonely and have been in this rut for months now. All i am looking for is insight and maybe some direction. I cant work at the moment due to health reasons.

        Well I think only you can change your outlook... get you back to your old social self. You're young you know, its too early to give up. And don't stress about your situation, take your problems one at a time and try to solve them. Do something different everyday that you didn't do before. All in all take it easy and take lonely_guy's advice. I'd have him as my shrink any day :P

        Hope your health improves
        Best regards

          I live on my own and i feel like i have no one and that my life isnt going any where. I always use to think that i hve a perpose in life and that i was born to do something but for months now i havnt felt like that. I use to love going out and spending time with friend but now i dont wanna do anything, i dont even like people in my flat. My other post is about me talking to a ex that isnt here with me any more but i talk to her like she is sat in my flat with me. I even hate going to the shops and putting my bin out. When i hear people near my door i panic thinking its people coming to see me. Im not using this site for interaction because i dont want interaction with anyone to be honest but i know thats not the person i am and im scared that its affecting my future.

            Do you have anybody to whom you can talk to? Who will understand you and be there for you to help you out with it?
            You need at least one friend to talk to. Talking to your ex like she is with you must be comforting but you need to accept the truth and move on.
            I have been in your position a few months ago and last month was worst for me. I didn't want to meet anybody at all but now I am ready to meet people again.
            When I read your post I feel like I am reading about myself. I have got over this depression, now your turn to do the same. You can do it.

              I feel that the people I can talk to are to close to my problem and that I cant trust them. I don't think its right I'm talking to my ex in my head but the first few months I didn't realize I was doing it, I can accept the truth and I haven't moved on in the sense I have found some one ells because I haven't but I have moved on in the sense that I don't want her back and the fact i had a chance to stay friends with her but I choose not to because I wouldn't be able to move on. I do want to meet people because I love having a life where I have loads of friends but its like I'm holding myself back but I cant stop myself. If you went though this like you said I'm sorry because I know how painful it is and I'm happy that you got though it and hoping I can do the same.

    You might remember this time with sadness. But time is your pal it gives you friends and fun times.

    Be kind to yourself, try not to compare yourself to others ( I know this is hard ) but we all have our own journey to take, so small steps in a positive direction...

    haha that's the same as me I still feel stuck in 1998.
    I don't download anything, I rent movies, I don't have apps on my phone, I like books, I'm not in with the fashion, I write handwritten letters, I visit the library, I listen to radio and I'm useless on a computer.

            Lol yep. And most of the movies I watch are from before 2000. Lol I don't know if I'm old fashioned or just in denial about technology's place in culture/lifestyle.

              Maybe a little of both. I'm into it, because I was born a bit later but I can relate to how you are though.
