I'm 36 years old. I enjoy my livelihood (though I occasionally have burnout). I own a bike not an automobile. I recently got engaged to my dream man. I enjoy leisure. I'm in great shape.
Does not get any better than this.

I have a type of brain damage, I need a mobility scooter to get around, I have gout, I have a permanent headache and yet yes.
I do enjoy my life.
I'm happy, I have good friends, great parents and I've had amazing relationships with both men and women (not at the moment, I'm single).
Yes there's shit wrong with me, but there are people off way worse than me.
I have enough money to get by and I live in the Netherlands (like you) so as for the country I could be worse off too.
So yeah I like my life.
I have a job I mostly love. That's part of my plan towards a better one.
I have a car. Very happy I learned to drive.
I have a secure roof over my head.
I have teens. They are good quiet girls. Can get tedious tho.
I have money. After an ex got me into lots of debt and I went bankrupt I'm very careful now and save lots.
Thanks to my teens being older i can travel again now.
I have a dog who loves me.
I have my health.
I have travelled extensively.
I have young lovers in their 20's if i need "satisfying".
I don't have love tho. From a great man. And that makes me sad.
So sometimes i look at my life and feel blessed and happy.
Sometimes I see a big scary void where none of what I have matters. A fear of chronic boredom and emptiness...
Today, for the most part, I think I have a pretty amazing life.
I love my life, with all its downs and ups :D
Yes I'm having some challenges at the moment but I like my life.

I'm just waiting to die, basically.
It is very boring.
for the most part, I do love it, yes
No, I absolutely hate it, I hate this world, and I can't wait until I'm no longer forced to be in it
I might as well be an old man, and everyone always says things get better, they never do, everything only gets worse
I'll just keep drinking until my liver stops working, hopefully it won't take too long to kill me
Believe me. I feel like I've had 4 different lives in my lifetime so far and not over yet. Huge ups and downs. Times when I feel everything is fantastic and many times when I've wanted to die and have self harmed. Sometimes I feel its like if you reach the bottom the only way left is up.
I'm sorry you feel life is so terrible.
I'm not gonna lie. It is bloody hard.
But at same time only you can change your life. Even if there are parts you can't or currently can't. There are somethings u can do I'm sure.
I'd say DM me if you want but as you are anonymous I'm not sure u can.
I've tried everything to change it with no success, I'm tired of even trying, knowing that no matter what I do, it will never get better
It's hard for me to understand or offer guidance without knowing the specific situation you are in or things getting you down.
Thinking it won't ever change and no point trying is a sign of depression. Yes caused by situation of feeling trapped perhaps. And sometimes you can't change something. So acceptance can bring peace. But again. Hard to say without knowing you or what you are going through.
But I promise you it could get better.
It's depression and anhedonia, I don't enjoy anything and I'm not passionate about anything.
I've accepted that I'll never succeed at anything, and even if I did, I'm incapable of feeling joy or satisfaction, anyways. Alcohol is the only thing that makes it easier to cope with it, and it'll also make my time on this earth shorter.
I was born with cystic fibrosis which cuts my lifespan in half, but as it turns out, cutting it in half isn't enough, hopefully alcohol will cut it to a quarter, meaning I'll only be alive for another year, or hopefully less
Oh no. Well it's certainly understandable you feel the way you do with cystic fibrosis. It doesn't mean you can't find meaning in life? Or that things won't go as you expect?
My sister as an example.. she was young in her twenties and diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. She was given 30% chance of survival. But she is so strong. She has loads of medical issues, cannot eat food anymore (has to have liquid diet directly into her blood stream over 8 hours). She has been in and out of hospital. Resuscitated. Can't hold a full time job because of it. But she never gave up or succumbed to the diagnosis. I have to confess... I think I would be like you and just want to end it. But she is in her 40's now. And a very successful self employed artist. She travels the world. Despite the Complications involved in that. She had a special rucksack made so she can have her "food" whilst still being active. I mean. To be honest she is still going to die soon as her bowel is going to fully give up soon. And it's too damaged for a bowel transplant. But anyways. I know in your current mood (alcohol really won't help) you maybe don't find this useful. Again I'm sorry. I wish I could make you feel happier I truly do!
I'm not able to find meaning in anything, I've failed at everything I've ever tried to do. Now I can't even get drunk properly
My Alt, sgpt levels are already at 250, whereas normal is 50, higher levels show damage to the liver.
I'm already in the range where a liver transplant is recommended, so it shouldn't be long before my liver shuts down, and my suffering will be at an end, at long last
I had some things happen to me, but for now I’m chilling
Absolutely.
Nope.
yes, i love
