Just What Is The Bloody Point

[nailit]

Seriously, just what is the point of existing?
We might exist for an average of 70-80 yrs and then what? We die, not even remembered in the next 70-80 years. It all seems so pointless. People that we love will die eventually, everything that we value will perish, our experiences in life will fall by the wayside and mean nothing to anyone. All the arguing here on AB means nothing in the great scheme of things, all the opinions expressed will mean nothing in a few years time.
Why even bother trying to survive when the end result is death anyway?

I have an ex colleague and friend who used to be a psychiatric nurse. She used to work in the lock up wards with really seriously ill people. Many years later after a different career alongside me she suffered from post natal depression and even though her kids are now older she still suffers occasionally. She said that every now and again her seratonin levels drop so much that she needs SSRIs. She said that all the amount of talking therapies in the world won't help her when she gets like that. Drugs are the only remedy.

For what its worth, I'd like it be known that I don't actually dislike any one here on AB, i might disagree on occasion, and vehemitly have opposing views and sometimes make sarcastic responeses, its not personal.

There are people I dislike immensely but you're not one of them, Nails. :-)

Chance which ever way you look at it, its all boolacks. Just no point.

[Old_Geezer]

Does there need to be a point ? What is the point of a universe even ? Thing is to not insist on having a point but making the best of what/where/how ever you find yourself.

[237SJ]

No disrespect but have you been drinking?

[nailit]

Don't know why my post at 18:47 has a long gap?

[Tilly2]

You do have choice and options. You just can't see them at the moment. It's not all down to chance.

[nailit]

18:43 I meant

In life there are both ups and downs and neither stay forever. When in a down cycle, it's good to realise you were up previously and will be again. Prospective is good.

Oh dear Nailit. I thought that you were feeling better. IMHO you think too deeply, let it go and enjoy life.

//fed up off been pumped full of drugs that debilitate me by ''health professionals''// I hear what you say loud and clear nailit, but what is the alternative? You could of course reject all medication, but that's not a good idea IMO having suffered from depression on and off over the years. Scots saying "What you can't change, you thole". I do hope things improve for you.

Yes! nearly a month sober but life has a habit of catching up with you.

[Old_Geezer]

...PERSPECTIVE...

Nailit is there nothing you are looking forward to? The sun shining tomorrow? The sound of the birds singing when the light comes up in the morning? Thoughts of Spring and Summer coming? Is there anything at all happening in your life that brings you pleasure at the moment?

[237SJ]

Nailit, then it's the drink making you ask the question (albeit because there are other reasons which are making you drink)

[nailit]

//Nailit is there nothing you are looking forward to//
Ladybirder, actually, no there isn't. And I'm waiting for the posts that tell me that I'm selfish etc.
