Life is a nightmare

14 posts in this topic

Only struggle and suffering. There's nothing good about life. And I'm sure there's life after death. That makes it even worse. Because that makes me feel even more trapped.

"At least I could kill myself."= wrong.

You can't even really die. Not completely.

Tough situation.

So I guess the word "nightmare" is too soft. "Hell" would be a better word I think.

Has this always been the case or is your mind playing a trick on you making it seem like bad = forever?

Why is it bad? People don't think this way for nothing.

I used to be depressed, severely. And I ignored the things that caused my depression. <-

One day It all went away. Try developing hopefulness, hopeful for yourself and your future. Believe in yourself.

But I totally understand you. Any advice I was given back then would fall on deaf ears.

Damn, I hope you'll find the bright side of life one day. 

There's gotta be something that would make life worth living for you. Here if you need to talk to someone. (just offering a pair of ears, not pitching any service) 

All the best!

You're depressed. Get help. Your thoughts about life are being contaminated by your depression.

Diet, exercise, friends and meaningful work. Do you have these things sorted? if not, it's hard for life to not be a nightmare.

The irony of life is you always feel trapped until you surrender to it. Im in a cage im trapped im in infinity and im trapped.

You think you understand what life is?

If not, then why make such statements? And then why act and suffer as if those statements are true? Isn't that a waste of energy?

Of course you will feel trapped. Your ideas of life feel very constricting and claustrophobic, because life is not an idea, and it's not gonna be captured by ideas, it's too big for that. 


Describe a thought.

@Blackhawk Do you have chronic depression? I remember you talking about such things a couple of years back.


"Say to the sheep in your secrecy when you intend to slaughter it, Today you are slaughtered and tomorrow I am.
Both of us will be consumed.

My blood and your blood, my suffering and yours is the essence that nourishes the tree of existence.'"

I don't know. All I know is that my life sucks.

If you understood the power of the mind you wouldn't make such statements, even if you think your life sucks. Maybe you do know and that's what you wish to create. And don't tell me you're not creating that sucky life because you just did.
