LIFE SUCKS

You have a job, doesn't matter what kind, and you're trying to help your mother. So, why do you think you're worthless? If you 'feel like a drain,' count on it: you're not! People who are really a drain seldom trouble themselves with worrying that they might be.

I'm not a pervert, just an older lady and I had a scandalous youth before I married and moved to the country so nothing you can say will shock me. I speak and read 8 languages. You write well for a kid out of today's dumbed-down education system (or more properly: propaganda system) which shows me there is definitely something in you I'd like to encourage.

i agree with the lady the wrote the other coment if your ever feel that bad that you want to kill yourself you can email me as well i have been through alot in life and come out the otherside i hope you feel better about yourself as you do have a job and a life even if its not the best at the moment

You're not worthless, and not being able to find a job in this country is not your fault, its the fault of greedy corporations who exploit young people in countries where there are no environmental regulations or workers rights. There is alot of evil in the world, but you can make your mother's life easier by helping out around the house, cleaning up and doing the dishes. Be pleasant to your mother which you are so good to love. You are worth a lot. You have a big heart. I don't have any friends or a lover either but that doesn't mean we can't be kind to others. Every little bit counts. Do it because its the thing to do. Some people have louder conscious'es maybe, it's good that you listen to it for your own peace of mind and don't let negativity in the world around you bring you down, do your part the best you can and accept there are things that are out of your hands.

You are valued and you are loved.

Anyone lucky enough to have a family has something to be thankful for. You and your mom are carrying a very heavy burden. That doesn't mean you should let it crush you.

Every day you should find one thing (one thing not associated with money) that makes you happy and do it. Do you have a pet? Walk with your dog for half an hour. Brush your cat. Or take a walk to a local park. Play basketball or play with your siblings. The world has some lovely simple joys. Sometimes helping someone (your mom, for example) in the kitchen or with the house can actually afford the two of you some private time to talk. I used to wash the car with my mom and we would talk about life. Sometimes it was somber, but we often laughed too. It lets you get chores done and you bond and it doesn't feel like a burden. This works with siblings too. Little ones like turning chores into games and older ones like having a confidant.

Last but not least let me remind you that there is a suicide prevention hotline: Need help? In the U.S., call 1-800-273-8255 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Be strong, but find ways to be happy too. And happiness from simple joys is often the sweetest.

I just caution you to stick to the forum and not get involved with personal emails b/c even though some might be genuine you run the risk of being victimized. Use the hotline posted or continue to post and vent but remember to protect yourself from possible child abusers. You are not a burden on anyone and many of us are on this site b/c we all have some kind of problem we're dealing with. A lot of us in this country are not doing too well financially either you are not a lone.

nFlokH It as actually very complicated in this active life to listen news on TV, thus I simply use world wide web for that reason, and get the newest news.

zvhr0D very nice post, i actually love this web site, carry on it
