ever wanted to give up on life?

[JayPat83]

seriously? throw out the thread if you want but i am wondering................

[corn322]

yeah, I've wanted to give up on life a few times.

[Touchdown038]

Dude, no way. There's too much good and joy in life to ever want to give up!

If you think that you do, I seriously recommend that you get some help.

[elwesso]

I agree..... Dont wanna lose NICO member here.....

Life is too short, dont make it shorter!

[rousie13]

I want to give up on school a lot, does that count?? I'm going to think it about 100 times this semester.

[PGBrian]

No.

but i did have to deal with a girldfried who wanted to kill herself quite frequently for over 6 months straight.that sucked.sucked a lot.

it's really hard trying to talk to somebody who is so intent on killing their self.

[JayPat83]

just, if it wasn't for bad luck over the past 6 months, i wouldn't have had any luck at all.............not a thing going my way

[rousie13]

I also get down on my luck every once in a while, but you just have to think about the good things that are going to come your way. Everyone has a string of bad luck and I certainly know I do/will. Just hang in there man, it will get better.

[corn322]

yeah, life can take a sh** on you like that.

[JayPat83]

i got a damn 21st bday coming up in like 15 days. that is going to be the ****tiest bday yet instead of the best

[JayPat83]

there is not a day goes by that i dont get anymore bad news to add to all the other ****

[MaineExport]

Seriously bro... when life deals you a crappy hand... cowboy up and bluff your way through. The more crap you go through.. the more of a man you become. Does ANYONE really have it easy all the time? I think not... it's part of life... ya know... puts hair on your chest... thickens the skin... all that macho stuff!

[navysnail]

you also have some control of your life and what happenes, dont let things get you down, sometimes life deals you a ****ty hand, and sometimes, you get blackjack, never know

seriously, go out to a bar, have some fun with people ya know, stuff like that

[JayPat83]

just feel stupid when i get drunk at night and play with my arsenal of weapons

[JayPat83]

must be getting worse, anyone want to hold on to bout 5 select handguns and shotguns and rifles for me?

[EZcheese15]

Dude, don't do that man. It's not worth it. Even when you don't think people care about you, they do. Taking your life is worse for your friend's and family than yourself.

Luck will eventually turn your way. The worse your luck is, when good luck strikes, it strikes harder!

[skydragoness]

When you have the support of your friends or family that really helps you get through the rough sh*t in life. For me, i don't get any support from my family at all, i have to find it from my friends and co-workers, and that really helps me out. So do hobbies

The easiest thing to do is give up, don't let it ever become appealing!

If everything were good all the time, life would be boring!

It is how we deal and manage with the "bad times" that makes each of us who we are. And it is how we deal with "good times" that makes it worth the while to make them happen when things are bad. Balance in all things above all!

Also, "good times" only makes sense when "bad times" exist - it is the comparison that makes it even possible! Said another way: without "bad times" there are no "good times". Biblically speaking, it is the raison d'etre for the existence of Satan.

This may sound way too simplistic, but I strongly suggest that it is best to keep it simple when life may be confusing around you!

So, whenever you get into a position when all seems bleak, say to yourself "This too shall pass", and look forward, with hope, to the times when it ain't so bleak.

thats not a good combo

[szh]

thats not a good combo

I assume you mean the drinking and the guns ... if so, you are absolutely right.

JayPat, if you are going to drink whenever things do look bleak, then start by locking away the guns and giving the keys to somebody else for the duration. Else, don't drink. You, above all, are in control of these decisions and actions.

And, in case you were wondering, there is nothing wrong with asking for help from all of us here. And elsewhere - professional if need be.

[jdmfreak]

NO! Alcohol and guns+Not a good mix. If y want you could mail me your weapons.

Just try to do what your sig says.

Success stories all begin that way. How the story ends is up to you. It's the hard times that show us who/what we're made of.

I sometimes fell like not going into work, instead I would drive my car sideway through tireracks test course all day. I know I need to go back to school too. I fell like giving up half, like waking up at noon and not doing anything until night comes. Well the new job I work at is making it better, good pay and they are paying for my schooling. You just have to think that there is something better that is going to happen and that your are not going to let those things get you down. Nick

[Cyberkreig]

definatly have. But i'm still here. And i'm glad i'm still here... I dont doubt that I'll think about it again for some reason. I wont do it. Then I'll be glad I didnt.

Dont cashout man. Life goes up and down, thats how it works.

[Altiman94]

believe it or not, i enjoy school. I also like my job. I'm havin a good time

[NICOmom]

I think that at some point in everyone's life they feel the way you do. The trick is to keep going no matter what. You have to have faith that things are going to turn around for you.

I realize that it's easy for someone to say that is not in your position. Some of us have had really bad things happen, yet we endure and in the end triumph over adversity. You can't give up on life simply because at this present moment in time, things are not going your way. Believe in yourself. Believe that life will get better. Sometimes it just takes time.

[The Mic]

Well when ppl dont work for me, i turn to music. music seems to be the only thing that always makes sense to me when everything else is a blur. my list of references to this subject is endless, anyone else too or am i insane lol

[Rockenreno]

Go see "Garden State"... it's one of those movies that's really depressing but makes you feel good if you're really depressed. Also go get some John Cusack flicks... romatic comedies can make you feel better if everything sucks.

Everyone has it rough some time, what defines you is how you respond when the outlook is bleakest.

[BuudWeizErr]

please see member "Anand" 's signature, thanks.

[Sircnay]

Yep, so many times I've lost count. I either end up on my bed for days at a time or failing school or both. I'm a bright kid but as Ernest Hemmingway said, "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."

So just lay back and close your eyes. Take a few breathes, and let things just ride, bud. Talk to your friends, they'll help you out, mine did.
