Have You Enjoyed Your Life

[nailit]

Ive got no idea what life is about (or even if its got a meaning) but straight forward question, have you enjoyed your stay on Earth?

Life's a ***, then you die.

No I haven't . As I get older I'm even more aware of how much anxiety has dictated my life .
I have a cheerful persona but that's all it is .
I currently hate how much anxiety is dictating my life , no public transport , can't drive , virtually housebound .
Clearly there's other issues which I could do without but in the main I kick my own ass every single day for being so weak .

Yet bravely we go on. Overthinking depletes reality. Too much dwelling upon what might happen equals self torture. Reliving a past event over and over, sometime substituting different scenarios, tear a fragile mind. Yet we go on.
There is a point to being.............let, No, Make yourself see, feel, the joy of existence. Life is NOT other people's it's your now.

I've had 81 years of ups and downs, probably I've caused most of the down times, but I have had some agood times and things are much better now, and am quite content, just hope the next 81 are better.

My life has had it's ups and downs. Suffered severe depression on and off since childhood. Spent time in a psychiatric hospital being treated for anxiety and depression. Been so low that sometimes I have done dumb things and been arrested. Turned to alcohol and other drugs at one stage, didn't help, although at the time I thought it did.

It's taken me many years to learn that although the "happy pills" help they aren't the answer by themselves.

As difficult as it maybe your own outlook on life dictates a lot to your mental health and well being.

If you are feeling very low Nailit seek help.

I couldn't have lasted this long with out support.

Ps: I don't wish for my life to end now, I used to, it's not always great but I enjoy the good times.

Thanks again all
