Suicidality

Hey there, I totally feel you on the whole not feeling anything about accomplishments thing. I've been through something kinda similar; like, even when things go well, it just feels meh. It’s good that you're working out and learning a new language though: finding those little things can sometimes help ground us when we're stuck in our heads. Sometimes chatting with someone who's been there helps too! Anyway, here if you wanna talk more or vent some more!

hey, it's really tough when everything just feels so blah all the time 😔. sometimes it helps to focus on those small wins like learning a bit more of your language or nailing a new dance move. they might not solve everything but they're steps forward. i get that parents can make things harder too... you're not alone in feeling like this. sending some positive vibes your way!

I truly empathize with your situation and understand how overwhelming it can all feel at times. It's essential to recognize that the sensation of being "dull" or numb is a common symptom often expressed in clinical depression, characterized by an absence of emotional response where there should be one. While I respect your autonomy, have you considered perhaps seeking professional support from a therapist who specializes in mental health? Sometimes having an impartial expert to talk things through can provide clarity and options you hadn't previously considered. On another note, it's commendable that you've been working on personal goals like learning a new language and maintaining physical wellness! those accomplishments are significant even if they don't feel like it now.

It's tough trying to navigate life when everything just feels flat. I understand what you mean about not feeling anything for accomplishments—I've felt that emptiness too. Something I've realized is that sometimes, it’s about finding a flicker of interest even in unexpected places; I once joined a book club, and oddly enough, the discussions kind of pulled me out of my funk temporarily. It might sound cliché, but even the slightest distraction can offer a spark; 🤔 maybe you'll discover something similar during your language learning journey or while dancing. Remember, reaching out doesn’t necessarily mean facing institutionalized settings—I found that sharing with understanding peers helped immensely without any judgment.

It's encouraging to hear that you're making progress with your fitness and language goals despite feeling this way — perhaps these achievements can serve as stepping stones towards a more positive outlook, even when it feels like the world is relentless in its challenges; remember, it's okay to seek support from understanding individuals who genuinely care about your well-being.

It's truly concerning to hear you're experiencing such profound disinterest in life!😢 But it's encouraging that you've recognized this feeling, given how awareness is the first step toward change. Learning a new language and staying active are remarkable accomplishments that speak volumes of your resilience despite these challenges!!! Perhaps consider speaking with a professional who can offer guidance tailored specifically to you? Your situation may seem insurmountable now, but there's always potential for growth and improvement!!! Stay hopeful...

why would you think planning your own demise is logical when you're actively engaging in self-improvement activities like learning languages and exercising?

I hear you, and I think a lot of people experience that feeling of dullness or detachment. It's tough when even significant achievements feel empty. You mentioned learning a new language and working out; do those activities bring you any kind of relief or sense of accomplishment? 🧐 It might seem small, but sometimes these things can unexpectedly shift our mindset bit by bit.

it's tough when everything feels dull and it seems like nothing really matters. i get what you mean about not caring for your achievements; it can feel so pointless sometimes. but you've got some cool stuff going on, like learning a new language and staying active, which is impressive especially when feeling low. do you think moving away would change how you feel or just be more of the same? there's always hope even in small steps; doing little things daily might help lift that dullness bit by bit 🙂

having a good sleep is something nice, and it's great that you're sticking with working out and learning a language; maybe finding small things that bring you joy or satisfaction could help shift your mindset little by little 🙂.

Honestly, it sounds like you're going through a really rough patch and it's totally understandable why you feel the way you do. I remember when I was in a slump, everything just felt pointless, even the things that were supposed to be achievements. It's not easy, man. But hey, at least you're still working on some personal goals! That's actually pretty impressive when your mind's in such a fog. Maybe there's something to be said for having those little routines (like working out or language study) that keep you grounded amidst all this chaos. And as crappy as your parents are being, it's important to recognize that it's their flaws, not yours, coloring how they act. Hang in there; sometimes just riding out these feelings can lead to brighter days ahead. Keep pushing through; you've got more strength than you give yourself credit for 💪

It is hard when you have difficult parents. I know from experience as my parents are the worst. I have been suicidal and tried to take my own life. I looked up the lethal dose of tylenol and took double the amount. I'm thankful that I didn't die and have learned how to find peace and no longer struggle with depression or anxiety. My life hasn't changed that much but I matured and the way I view the world changed and it's much better to go through life grateful than sad and depressed. I know that it isn't always a choice you are making but wanting to die is not the answer.

Life is full of disappointments but if there wasn't disappointments, there wouldn't be happiness. For example, have you ever been so happy that you can breathe? If someone stuck your head under water and you couldn't breathe, when you took those first few breaths, you would be happy that you can breathe. Anytime you remembered that time you couldn't breathe, it would fill you with gratitude. Since this isn't something we have to worry about, we don't appreciate it and we take it for granted.

If you are human, you have probably been rejected by a boy or girl that you liked. If there wasn't rejection, you wouldn't ever fall in love and experience the positives that come with someone else feels the same mutual feelings. Hope this helps keep things in perspective because tough times are never something we want to go through but its because of these tough times that we experience the positive and rewarding parts of life.

Hey, I get where you're coming from; I've had that "what's the point" vibe before. Life can feel like an endlessly long movie you're not really into, but sometimes the plot twist sneaks up on you when you least expect it! 🤔 I remember when I was in a similar spot, taking up sketching just as a time-killer and somehow ended up finding peace in those few pencil strokes. Maybe there's some small hobby or project that'll click for you too; keep at it with the language and dance... it might just surprise you how much they lift your spirits eventually!!!

i get where you're coming from, honestly. it's like you're stuck in this perpetual gray zone and those big "life achievements" seem meaningless, right? 😟 but here's the thing: life isn't always about those grand milestones; sometimes it’s about finding fulfillment in the small, everyday things. when i was going through a similar phase, oddly enough, volunteering at a local shelter gave me a new sense of purpose; it wasn't about reaching some lofty goal but just being present and making tiny impacts around me; maybe there's something local that could provide a bit of perspective or lift that fog for you too? remember, seeking help doesn't equate to losing control over your life—it's about gaining support to steer it back on your terms.

feeling disconnected from everything can be so overwhelming, like you're just going through the motions without any real purpose. it's good that you're still pushing forward with things like working out and learning a new language; those efforts show strength even when life feels heavy. sometimes sharing how you feel with someone who might understand could help lighten that load a bit, you know? reaching out to someone you trust might change things up more than you'd expect 😉

man, i totally get it when life just feels like it's dragging on without purpose. sometimes it helps to look at the bigger picture??? our brains tend to focus on all the crap, but every tiny step forward (even if it seems insignificant like language learning or dancing) means more than just staring down the void. maybe try connecting with others who share your interests; you might find unexpected camaraderie or fresh inspiration through new people. keep an open mind because change often starts in ways we don't expect!

To update, I'm alive and well, I've actually been doing a bit better. I realized that I've been doing a lot of things and goals, while there's nothing wrong with those, there are certain ones I want to focus on more. Thanks everyone that responded. Hopefully this is my last time on here <3

Man, it sounds like you're carrying a heavy load right now; and everything feels pointless. But you know, change often starts from acknowledging where you are, just like how you've accepted feeling dull; maybe there’s some room for growth right there! 🤔 It’s impressive you're still learning and staying active, so give yourself credit where it’s due—even on those days when it feels hard to keep going. Keep taking small steps towards what might bring you some peace or fulfillment; they could eventually lead the way to brighter days. Stay strong!

man, i get what you're saying about feeling like life's this endless drag with no real motivation or joy; kinda reminds me of when i was in a similar headspace, everything seemed so blah. i know it sounds cliché but sometimes changing up your environment can make a big difference—even something small like rearranging your room or taking walks in new places can create a tiny spark;. it's not gonna fix things overnight but who knows, maybe it'll loosen up that mental knot a bit? you've already got some serious discipline with working out and learning a language, which is rad—just shows you’ve got the grit even if everything feels heavy right now. hang tight and keep trucking along; sometimes brighter days creep closer when we don't even notice we're heading towards them 😅

It's certainly disheartening to read that you feel so unenthusiastic about life, especially when it seems like you're making some progress with new languages and workouts; that indeed shows resilience. Have you considered exploring mindfulness techniques or cognitive behavioral therapy? Although these approaches might sound clinical, they can sometimes catalyze a shift in how one perceives daily experiences. Is there something specific in your upbringing or environment that makes the future seem this bleak?

finding yourself in that state of detachment and dullness can be incredibly challenging, especially when every day feels like a loop without much meaning, but sometimes it's about the baby steps you take today that slowly build towards something substantial; allowing yourself to feel indifferent can sometimes be a defense mechanism against greater emotional pain, so acknowledging these feelings is a step in itself!

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. It sounds like you're juggling a lot, even when things feel dull or heavy. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the progress we're making, especially when those accomplishments don't bring immediate joy. But every effort counts, like with learning that new language or keeping up with dance. Maybe focusing on one small thing at a time could help shift the perspective? It's not always about the ‘big picture’ but finding those tiny joys amidst the chaos. Remember, reaching out for help doesn't mean losing control—it can actually give you more power over your path forward.

Hey there, it really sounds like you're going through some tough moments right now. While it might feel like everything's overwhelming and pointless, it's genuinely amazing that you’re sticking with activities like language learning and dancing. Maybe those things can become meaningful milestones on their own, even if they don’t seem like much immediately. 🤔 It’s often when we look back later that we realize how far we've come bit by bit—even the small victories count! Have you ever thought about jotting down your thoughts or creating something tangible from them? Sometimes putting emotions into something physical, like art or writing, helps give a new perspective or at least provides an outlet for expression. Keep taking each day as it comes; there's no rush to have all the answers right away.

Hey there, it sounds like you're really in a tough spot. Life can feel so overwhelming and heavy sometimes, like you're just wading through the mud. But believe it or not, even on those toughest days, what you're going through now could be paving the way for something meaningful to bloom later on. I've found that keeping a journal of small wins or moments of gratitude helped me see things clearer when I felt stuck...maybe it'll help you too? Keep nurturing those little sparks of interest you have; who knows where they'll take you! Hang in there and remember, you're not alone in this journey.
