There is no limit to how bad things can get.

There seems to be no ground to hit it keeps going down. Strange how you always thought things were getting better. 15 years of misery and nothing is better things are as bad as never before. I'm probably one of the few here who doesn't want to die but it seems I will anyway.

 

[TheBroken]

Agreed - good luck finding anything that's getting better.

 

[wilted_biography]

Yep…that's what seems to be so terrifying. There's no limits to suffering. Truly horrific

 

[Aeathelina]

I feel this too much. There never seems to be bottom to the darkness of life and suffering

 

[Hurt]

Yes. Things can get worse. I am so sorry you're struggling. Hope they get better soon. I'm struggling too this is a nightmare.

I understand….rock bottom seems to be this fictitious concept that never surfaces. Every time I think I've hit it, the floor collapses once more and reveals another cavern below me.

I also understand not wanting to die. I do not want to die. I want my life to be better and I have gone to extreme lengths to try, but not every situation can be solved. For me the pain is too great, but I hope that you and anyone else here is able to find the strength….and that their situation doesn't box them in like mine has.

Ain't that the truth.

I understand that. Ppl are always like "dw it'll get better!" but it doesn't get better, at least not for evryone. When I think things literally cannot get worse bc its just not possible, they somehow do get worse, but never better. It feels like things are just gonna keep getting worse & worse the longer I'm alive ): But I hope things improve for me even tho its probably never gonna happen. Sorry that youre going through this & I hope your life gets better

 

[Superdeterminist]

Yep and this is exactly why I hate it when people say "when you're at the bottom, the only way you can go is up". Naively thinking there is a bottom at all.

Just when you've hit rock bottom, you then find out rock bottom has a basement. If I meet God on the other side, I'll tell him I've already done purgatory several times over.

I think about this too much. My world has ended so many times, and I always think "it can't get any worse" and it always does.

These last couple of months, I feel like I've been at my lowest, then I remembered this isn't even the worst of what's to come. One day, I'll have to deal with my parents and my cat passing away…I've never lost anyone close to me, so I can only imagine how much that'll destroy what's left of my mental state. Then there's that fear of continuing to get older, and still not being settled. I don't know what's going to happen to me.

It's terrifying. To feel like your world has totally crumbled around you, and the worst of what's happened to you, isn't even close to the tip of the iceberg.

Super conflicting on deciding on if you just should stay and see what happens, or check out before the worst can play out.

Always a new rock bottom for me when i thought it couldn't get any worse hope shit gets better for u tho.

 

[FuneralCry]

The fact that suffering has no limits is why life is so horrifying. The fact that things are likely to get much worse is part of why I want to be gone so much. Life is extremely cruel and unfair and it is awful how humans have to endure so much pain in their lives. A peaceful exit should be a human right, nobody should be forced to live a life that they do not see as being worth living and just gets worse and worse.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I met a homeless person yesterday And Was reminded that things can and will get much worse

 

[MisFortunate]

Life has never gotten better for me. I am just a bowl of slow rotting fruit.

i don't want to die, i want the pain to go away so i can enjoy my life, but the chronic pain won't go away, and i can't cope with this shit anymore, so i feel i have to go to sleep forever - i would have anyway, just like everyone does, but i didn't think it would be at 40 and i thought i'd have done something to be proud of first

These are indeed crazy times, the ground is shifting everyday. I once thought that recovery and normal life could be possible.
