Q: the World Is a Cold, Cold Place

Life used to be idyllic and free from pain and worry when I was a child; 20 years into my life, I feel that i'm trapped in a maze of misery. There's not a single thing about myself i'm satisfied with. Not my appearance, not my personality, not my skills (don't think I have any). Nothing. I have no friends, i'm confused with my sexuality, and there's no point in staying here any longer. I do have my family, though. We are, however, not close, and we've never ever been. We don't discuss emotions and such.

If it wasn't for my family, i'd travel to a remote location and end this misery. Nobody would miss me; nobody would search for me. Perfect! Matters aren't unfortunately like the aforementioned "dream" of mine. I work hard to stay strong. I don't wish to leave anybody behind in pain or in shame of my ruthless actions. It's going to be tought and striveful, just like life is. I'll stay alive, but for what personal reason? I have no ambitions and no goals. I do have a job, which I happen to dislike quite badly..

There isn't a solution to my deep issues. Nobody can "talk" me out of this maze. Nevertheless, I know there is a way out. If I could just get a new face, a new body, i'd find my way out of dispondency...

Look and see if your local university has a cbt program as these are often free of charge there. Short of that you could pick up a copy of my favorite book on cbt and overcoming anxiety and depression and if you guys dedicate yourself to the tools together it will change your life. It called been there done that?
!Good luck!

I too agree you are definately being to hard on your self, life is what you make of it, there are alot of things you can do to meet people, join local organizations, group clubs, im sure youll be able to make friends, I know at times life seems hard, and you may think no one cares, but they do., instead of sitting around all day feeling bummed out, depressed, make some changes in your life, make the most of what you have you have to atleast try make a few changes, set a goal, ending ones life is never the solution,
