Feeling stuck taking care a old relative. Can't stay in school or hold a decent job to save my life. Live in the crappiest city in the state of nc, with the only option to move is to going to have me be homeless.


IDK sometimes, i feel like life is just shaping up to snap and either kill myself or turn into a serial killer

I'm not in your position, but I heard caregiving is difficult. Udemy was offering a course on caregiving for free at one point.They have some for cheap now. Do you have anyone to share your feelings with?

School is very difficult if you have more important things to address. the good news is that there are so many options to get education at any age and advance in your career.

Sometimes I really think I have no place in the world. Among people or anything. Not even like a "special snowflake", more like I really shouldn't have existed. I feel like there is nothing I can contribute that would make me say I lived a useful life. I know people have it much worse than me. Much, much, much worse. But this is how I feel. I've had therapy. Didn't work. Many many people have tried to talk to me. No one seems to understand how I feel though. Mostly because I'm too afraid to actually tell them. I cling to people who don't want me. I avoid people who do. It's hard for me to believe anyone genuinely cares about me. I've been through every level of depression and back again. I feel it rearing its gruesome head at me again. Last year was supposed to be my last year. I give myself until 28. This time I'll make sure it sticks. I have nothing and I have no one. As sad as that sounds, I think I'll die that way too. The main reason why I don't do relationships anymore also. Imagine having to deal with someone like me. Disgusting. I don't want to infect another person's life with this miasma of misery. There is someone in my life who makes me more than happy everyday but there is a reason why I keep it long-distance. Idk why. I care so much about people. But I can't care the same amount about myself. I don't even want people to feel sorry for me. I'm tiresome of it. It's hard but I'm learning to accept that some people can function in this world and others just can't. I used to think I was going to change the world. All my life I've had dreams and visions of it. But I can't even change myself. I feel sorry for anyone who cares for me. Idk if I'm "mentally ill" or not. Maybe I just have a fukked up perspective, maybe there truly is something wrong with me. Idk. The only advice I get from most people is "That's life". Why does that have to be life though? If that's life then I prefer death. The most I can do is die happy. As sad as it sounds. I look forward to it.

Yes, I know my grammar is horrible. The periods are helpful in processing what I'm thinking.

"Life is Difficult.

This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult -- once we truly understand and accept it -- then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not and that somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. I know about this moaning because I've done my share.

Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?

Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems. Without discipline we can solve nothing."

-- M. Scott Peck, M.D., The Road Less Traveled




Reminds me of when I first heard you either in a storm, coming out of a storm, or heading into a storm.






I'm so bad with discipline, but first things first. Glad I accepted my mental and physical ailments a day at a time. Sort of restless and bored right now. Annoyed today, don't know why.

I really like this. This seems to be something I need to do. Accept that life is difficult. I still ask, why would you want to live if its so difficult, when death is so much easier? I'm not an advocate for suicide. Yet sometimes it seems to be the better solution for some people. Why suffer when you can stop it? Idk. Just something I've been thinking about.
