Every day as I open my eyes I ask the same question. I am sorry that there is no advice or words I can offer to comfort you, I am facing the same struggles as you my friend.

​Do you wish to talk about it?
Talking never seems to accomplish much of anything...

It has got to the point where i don't wanna die and i don't wanna live. so what am i supposed to do?? I feel so horrible and i just wanna feel better but nothing seems to help...

I don't know how much longer i can go like this before i have a complete mental and emotional break down and end up babbling nonsense in a padded room. I dont know how much longer i can handle these horrible thoughts and feelings, they are destroying me from the inside :(

and i don't know how to make it better... i dont know what to do...

You have an eternity to live when you give yourself to God for His use. If you just stuff your brain with the things that are of God so that is what your mind works on and thinks with you could use the life you have here to insure your eternal life. Even if you live to be a 100, it is a short time to use to develop who your eternal self will be.

If how you think now isn't working, use the way the God who created you thinks, you have absolutely nothing to lose by giving it a shot. God creates us, God should know how you can create joy. We have the plan for us written down, like an instruction manual. The manual you have worked out for yourself isn't working, so why not try God's.

The Lord's Prayer is a perfect way to start. God isn't much for empty words, though. That means you really have to know how great and holy He is, able to create you, oceans, the grand canyon, etc. To know there is a heaven run with absolute joy, and He wants that here on earth. We can ask for the things we need to live here, and also for the scripture in our hearts we need. Then take everything you have of sin and say you repent, will do your best, and let Him forgive everything.

That makes a new person of you, this new person will have the strength to manage the heart aches and trials in the best way, and start on the way to the joy and peace God wants for us all.

My friend have you heard of the good news of Jesus Christ? This good news gives you a purpose for living, a hope to stand on, a promise unbroken. It's what the heart of man has longed for, and searched for, for years and years. Don't you long for something out there that's worth keeping? But never find it in the things in your life? Sure you can be happy for a moment in anything, but it only last for a moment. The gospel is an everlasting happiness that many pass up because they never take the time to search it out. My friend, the good news is good news for a perfect reason. : )

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Mat 11:28)
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Mat 11:29)
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Mat 11:30)

When I was where you are, I decided that it was because of my thoughts. It could be your thoughts are from demons, although that wasn't how I saw it at the time. I decided to give up how I was thinking and take on the best thoughts I knew of to replace them. Hard work, very hard. I used plain memory work of bible verses. I figured if God created the world, then God must know how it was to work better than I knew. Even the terrible problem in my life finally got better, but I almost immediately became a person who handled things better.

If something isn't working, there is no use applying the same way to take care of it after you prove it doesn't work.

God has a purpose for your life, it is up to you to seek him with all your heart, then you will know. Put him first, find a good
church to go to, that teaches the whole word and hang around true believers who can edify you and pray for you.Wordly
friends won't do it. Then you will know who and why you are here, and his beauty and presence . Cry out to him for direction
and to show you what he wants for you.

i know.

but i was here when you first came to the forum, and i had hoped then too that you wouldn't just disappear
- a lot of people come to Christian forums (not just this one) in unbelief, with searching, piercing questions -
and often aren't really well received by the believers - and then they are gone in a few days for whatever reason.

you've been coming regularly for over a month, and that makes me glad - it shows you're not here just to scorn or troll, but to genuinely think & discuss philosophical and spiritual things. to me that's pretty cool, and i appreciate your point of view.

does that make sense?

Your profile says you're christian. So, am I to understand that god cannot help you feel better?
