I'm in constant pain.my drs aren't helping.i have a job in retail(i hate) that im kinda stuck in because i know i can't get in anywhere else with my conditions.
Things could be worse but i feel hopeless.have for years.
don't see a point in going on and just wanna give up.
Stuck in love with someone that can't love me back, sadly one thing i hold on for...
Everything seems so hard.
It makes me feel selfish but I'm tired of suffering.I don't wanna kill myself but I do wanna die...
Under these conditions is it normal?

    I wept because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

    I don't want to be cruel here, but boo hoo.
    Would you have preferred to grow up someplace where war and death are an every day occurrence? Where your pain is from a bomb, an IED or bullet? Where there is NO work for ANYONE, and there isn't enough food to eat, medicine for your pain and most of your family has been murdered because they worship their god differently than the other side? With all that going on in so many places in the world today, where just being alive is a struggle you could never understand, you want to take the easy way out and die? There are literally millions of human beings out there who would give anything to be sitting in a building that isn't half blown apart (or made of cardboard or mud), at their computer, in pain perhaps, but not hungry, with a terrible job to go to tomorrow, bitching and moaning about their terrible life. Never mind the electricity, refrigerator, TV, car, hot showers in clean water, and all the other things you surely have right there around you right now.
    Boo fucking hoo for you, you poor thing.

    People shouldn't brush off other's feelings. They are entitled to that. Perhaps u could try counsel ling or meds. Everyone has their own cross to bear, some worse then others. Dont give up & look for the positives in life no matter how small :)

    Yeah i get the point the other comments are making and of course I know things could be a lot worse...
    But they could be a lot better.
    Im in all over diffuse muscoskeletal pain, mostly affecting my back.and have bad arthritis in all my joints.
    Not a lot of changes i make can help the physical pain.
    Anyways its just hard to wanna live when you don't feel good enough to have a life.
    Guess i kinda set myself up with this question...

      Hey
      I just want to say, I don't know whether things have improved since you posted but, people who tell you that life is harder elsewhere should just actually keep there opinions to themselves because look, I'm very privileged, but there is a difference between emotions and everything else including poverty and war etc. I know that people experience pain x1000 more painful than I do but the only reason people feel bad for others experiencing poverty is because they can see it. They can see poor people without food and in poor, unsafe, unhygienic areas. They can't see depression. They can't see the sadness of a privileged girl Because they think that where I live should be enough to make me happy but what they don't inderstand is that our emotions don't work that way. Don't let people tell you that your problems are too small. They don't feel what you feel. And don't get me wrong, seeing starving children breaks my heart but give them food and they smile. What do you give a depressed person to make them smile? You can't just buy happiness and give it to an unhappy person.

      Have you tried diet-oriented approaches to your pains, like cutting out grains and seed oils? And have you tried medicinal marijuana?

      I hope things will get better for you.

    The point made by other commenters, that others are worse off, can be good for putting things in perspective and feeling a bit more humble and grateful. That can be good, but others having bigger problems doesn't really help your situation.

    If your life is crap, and you deem that it will continue to be so, then it makes sense to me to wonder if it's worth it.

    I have had times where I have figured that there is not much point to living. I still do.

    May I ask what kinds of pain you are in?
