So long

Sad to see you so gloomy, but think about it : you are probably not as miserable as you think you are.

But you're right about a break if you think it might make you feel better. It certainly works, social life on Steam and SG can become quite demanding, it's good to leave and let it all get missed.

But leaving SG doesn't make the world less miserable and it might keep your mind from wandering to dark places you should not visit.

Sad...
Thanks for GAs ...

I once heard someone say, "It's easy to be cynical, what is hard is being optimistic" while I don't fully agree with the statement, it does have some merit. There is a lot wrong with the world. I hope you find a way to make it better (I'm still looking myself)!

... And thanks for all the fish! ....I mean gibs...

And don't be sad. Read some good books, like Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. It's great if you are feeling blue.

I hope you find whatever it is that brings you the most joy in the world.

We need people that love cows, dont make it permanent break pls T.T

I hear what you're saying and it hurts. I can see you're generous and you want to change the world and make a difference. You and I can't solve all the world's problems, but we can make a difference in some people's lives. You have already made a difference in our lives today with your generosity. You may find there are others nearby where you live that you can help. For me, the most rewarding thing is to give anonymously, but that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is to find a way to help. I spent 2.5 years working as a volunteer for a charity - I don't regret that at all. Not all charities are created equally, but I hope by looking you can find a way to make a tangible difference in some people's lives, and in so doing find a reason to keep going - because you are worth it!

I know you've been struggling for a long time. I've never had had any helpful advice to offer you, and unfortunately I still don't, but I hope things finally get a bit better for you. Go well, and take care.

Everytime I see people saying stuff like this, I kind of feel guilty. I'm one of those people that don't really care what goes on in the world as long as it doesn't impact me. So you're actually a better human being then me. Please don't leave permanently. We need people like you...

Of course you can't change the big things that happen in the world, but you might be able to make your own life and that of others better. Try to change some smaller stuff and see how that makes you feel.

I reaaaaaally hope I'm overreading what you're saying and those options do not include the option I'm thinking it includes. It's an option that just scars everyone around you for the rest of their lives and should not be taken if not for you then for their sake.
As Caractacus also said above the best advice for a person with such a strong sense of giving as you is to volunteer for some charity in your area, if that includes direct contact with the people you'll be offering your support to all the better. You cannot imagine how powerful and uplifting it is to make a real difference in even one person's life. We can't change the world individually, it's too big a task for any one of us, but we can change the world around us, and through it ourselves.

And if I'm not overreading this don't think I don't get it. I've reached one step before that way out more times than I can count, I still do almost every single day. But just the idea of hurting my friends and family stops me every single time. I'm sure you have people in your life that love you too, even if you can't see it at times and when you leave you take a piece of them with you, a piece they'll never get back.

I am sorry if i had a really bad english, hope that you can get what i mean.

This life isn't fair, is just one thing after another, our world is dying, our life is getting shorter every day, and a quick escape it's always there.

I have a strong depression, and i have tried to take that escape, i had for 1 week scars in my neck from the rope, and time to time i want to try again.

But fortunely, i have found things that keep me in this way, and anothers things, a lot more, are making me feel more and more my problems, my health is getting worse and worse every day, my family is getting more and more unfair with me, and a lot of old "friends" are stabbing my back every time that they can.

But time to time i found things that give me a reason to stay, new friends, new hobbies, new passions, someone really especial, a love.

Unfortunately the last one, and the most important for me is in the limbo, it could go in the way that we both want, or thanks to the surroundigs it could be off. And that's killing me, since i met her i hate to be without her, but as i said before, what it keeps me in this way is hope, maybe one day it will be better, maybe some day all the good things that i do for anothers it will come back, is just a big "maybe" nothing sure, and with my luck, everything could go to hell like always, and all the mornings i just want to sleep, dream, and never get up again, i cant remind what was the last time that i had rest properly.

Maybe this life is just a big mistake, maybe is better go, but maybe there is something behind the storm, something that it will be what you always want, trought the storm you are gonna find ugly things, you are gonna feel ugly things, and for me, the worst one, you will lost someone, for a time or forever, but time to time you can see something that could be worth the wait, the effort, something/someone to fight, and pass the storm. You will find people that take the escape of this road called life in the way, they are not cowards, they are not stupids, just people, just a choice, personally, i dont judge them, I understand them.

Be strong, smile time to time, even a forced smile, whisper to yourself "it will be better", there's something always, it's up to you if you want to keep going or just stop, but when it's worse, just scream, and you will find people like you, in here for example, a lot of people trying to cheer you up, f*ck the giveaways, we are here just to try to confort someone.

Best of luck men, i hope that you get better, and no mather what problem you have, just wait, maybe something good is coming.

Cheers :)

And again, sorry for my crappy english

I hope the break helps but make sure you come back. I understand where you're coming from, take care!

It's certainly not a perfect world that we live in, and to think otherwise would either be extreme ignorance or denial, but that doesn't mean that things are beyond hope and aren't worth fighting for. There are few people who will change the world on a grand scale, but if all of us just made small changes in the way we perceive, understand, and treat other people, it would have a massive impact on making this a better place for us all.

As some others have mentioned, volunteer work is one of the most immediate ways to start making a difference in someone else's life, and possibly to start giving purpose to our own. I don't want to read too deeply into what you wrote and jump to assumptions, but if you're feeling suicidal in any way, please reach out to someone who can help. There are times when we feel utterly alone and think that no one else would possibly understand, but being able to talk with someone else about it can make all the difference in the world.

This certainly isn't a pep talk, but I find Nick Vujicic to be very inspirational, and perhaps you can find some meaning in this.

Any help that you can give is better than no help, as futile as you think it is. Looking back in history, this is safest people have ever been. Things are changing for the better. There are bumps in the road for parts of the world, but we'll get there sooner rather than later. Yes, there are things to be depressed about, but there are so many more things to be encouraged by.

Goodbye, I wish you luck.
May we meet again.

Thanks for the GA's.

As for that depression or whatever this is, hang in there. I know it's not easy, but hang in there.

Yo, I've seen you on here saying thiings like this before - sounds like you are having problems, and are depressed. As someone who has had clinical depression for 15+ years, if you feel like you want to talk to someone feel free to message me on Steam or here -

I know that when you are depressed a lot of people like to give you well meaning, but not useful advice, as they don't really understand what it's like to be legitimately clinically depressed and not just sad - but I know what that's like, been there, and probably know what and how you are feeling. I am happily married now, so I think I can give decent advice about medicines, therapies, etc -

If you choose not to, I hope you find the help you need dude -

The world is not perfect, but it's our duty to change it. Be the example for the other people to follow. Be the change that you wish to see in the world. Never forget that. :) Also, I know I won't be able to change your mind, but I just want to advise you to stop being sad. I won't say goodbye, because I'm sure we'll talk again in the near future. ;)

Thank you, joined two. Try not to think about "miserable world" and "not fitting into it" too much. Stepping down to real life may be good, but try to find some nice things there, like hang out with friends, go for vacation, or just take a walk in the forest. From experience I can tell that barricading in home in most cases will not help much. Take care, wishing you all the best, and have a virtual hug.
P.S. After night comes day, and after storm peace, like one of the songs says. Every next day may bring you the meaning and happiness you are looking for.

I understand you.

I hope you get it figured out, mate.
Always inspiring to see someone aiming to actually take charge in they life; far too easy to just exist until the end.
To live, though; good stuff.
Always sad to see someone go, but it'd be worse to see them stay in a rut (if, indeed, that's what it's become for them).
Thanks and good luck <3

Thanks for all the fish(y giveaways)

hope you can sort things out for yourself
One advice I can give you: only worry about the things you actually can have influence on and dont worry (too much) about stuff you cant change even if you want to
