Is there anything wrong with giving up?

People always tell me to fight and keep going, that I must believe things will get better one day. The truth is, life is hard, it's a struggle that I no longer see the point in carrying. Even if I overcome my problems, what happens next? I will be somewhat happy for the next couple of years until the day I die comes and this whole thing would have been pointless either way.

People say that feelings are only temporary, taht we all have 'bad days'. But these 'bad days' have been going for years, tirelessly keeping me down, while even the slightest moment of happiness doesn't last even a single day, as if it exisst only to remind me what I cannot have.

Life is not enjoyable, my life is not enjoyable. Why would it be wrong for me to give it up? The only reason I see is that I will hurt the people around me, which is stupid because I never asked to be born anyway and now I have to be imprisoned just because I will hurt someone? This is just one cruel joke of the Universe

@cheburashka1944 Hey there! I'm very sorry to hear you're feeling so frustrated and having no hope on whether life can be enjoyable or not. While some times are certainly not, other's are supposed to be happy, at least. Sounds like these not enjoyable times have been going on for so long to you, and I get that has to be really really frustrating... Please know we're here for you, you've been very brave posting these and talking about your feelings, while I can't say it's temporary nor that it shall pass, I do can say that we'll be here to go through it with you. Sending you lots of love x.
