Why keep living, what's the use?

You should always keep living for your sake and for the sake of the people you love, things can get rough and seem like everything is going downhill but please know that it does get better and that you shouldn't give up. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel and there's always a solution to your problems no matter how big they may seem to you. I urge anyone thinking about suicide to reach immediate help from Hotlines or from trained professionals. Suicide Is a permanent answer for a temporary problem and i believe than any problem can be solved appropriately.

You should keep living because you have a purpose in life. You deserve to be here. You accomplished so many things in life, you can't throw that all away. You got to realize that life sucks sometimes, but it will get better. Now I wish I could tell you when it gets better, but I can't, because I don't know when it'll get better, but I promise it will one day. People would be heartbroken if you left. We all have rough patches in life and this one just happens to be yours, but you will get through this. I believe in you. Stay strong.

There are many times in our life that we may sit and question our existence. It's a question that I've heard many times. " What is the use of living ? I have nothing to live for." That's 100% wrong. You have so many things to live for. There are so many things that we can do but we don't work to our full potential to get to those huge goals in life. Don't you want to make yourself proud? Work hard to accomplish the goals that you've always worked so hard for. Find your passion. There are so many great things that we can do to make ourselves feel wonderful. Why do you think that there are so many artists, singers, painters, photographers and so many other amazing people out there? They took advantage of that gray area in their life and put into the form of art in some type of way. Do what makes you happy. There are so many people that love and care for you. Think of it. If your younger you saw the way you are now? Would they be proud of the person that you have become? If your answer is "no", go out there and make a difference in your life. Once you do, you'll find your purpose and thank yourself for it.

Keep living because if you throw your life away, you could be throwing away the time where you could finally be happy with yourself and your surroundings. Listeners on 7 Cups are here to listen and understand what you may be going through no matter how big or small your situation is. It doesn't matter how big or small your situation may be, it's how you handle it, and getting through it is what makes life worth living. Remember, there's always a time where you will be happy, even if you need help getting to that point. Happiness is worth living through.

Life is a powerful thing.. we all go through series of events but in the end.. we do question is it worth it? But yes it is worth it! Life can be filled with so much joy passion and fun! You just need to find the right direction if you are lost! We all get to experience the wonders that life brings if we work hard to achieve what we want! We can all do it! Stay positive and push forward.. no matter how hard it gets! We all get alittle down and sometimes lonely but there is always someone somewhere who feels the same.. but if we didn’t experience the bad .. we wouldn’t know what the good would be until we knew the difference.. life is special!

Sometimes i think this and all the bad things I've done or have had happen to me come in my mind but i learn to push all that away and believe that i came into the world with a purpose and that is the reason i'm living and until my time is over i should stay .Sometimes ignoring the bad things help.Being a Christian helped me to understand that God has given each individual a purpose to live and that everyone is uniquely crafted in his own hands.So i hope this answers the question: Why keep living? Everyday will bring something new into your life

Even though sometimes we feel as if we shouldn't live we all have a reason to live. Living can help us give hope and be an example to others who might not want to live. When we stay alive we can grow and improve on ways we can handle these emotions. By living we give others a reason to live because if we are dead sometimes it won't give courage for the others who want to die. Your presence is very needed on earth. You change the world whether or not you can see that. There are always setbacks but when we grow from those setbacks we see a whole new world ahead of us.

a cup of coffee in the morning, your moms smile, your best friends laugh, for the tiny humans that look up to you, hearing the words "i love you," long hot showers, late night drives, you are enough, the sound of thunder and rain, eating your favorite foods, the stars, all of the movies and books, meeting new people, genuine smiles, you matter, meaningful relationships, hugs, cuddles, your dog, you are worth it, inside jokes, you would be missed, fuzzy socks and getting cozied up with blankets, cute old people, to watch your little brother graduate, snow days, that feeling you get when you don't have to set an alarm for the next day, the cold side of the pillow, the feeling of putting on clothes straight out of the dryer, finding extra fries at the bottom of the bag, good hair days, YOU ARE LOVED

Living is a good thing. There is lots too live for you can live for a new family member, or another life event such as getting married or engaged or having kids of your own. I believe that living is important because suicide has taken over a lot of peoples lives including friends of mine but I learned how too just listen and be able to help others overcome the demons inside of that person. The use of living is that you wont make someone else sad and you may make other people happy that you are still alive.

Understanding that sometimes life can be hard, but there is hope and you may not see it now but telling someone how you are feeling can help you to get through this rough patch. Life is important and people do need you, you may not see this now but trust that it is true and people do need you

I'm paraphrasing Einstein when I say, we are here for but a brief sojourn. For what reason we know not. But we are bound to each other by the ties of humanity. There are days when I can't grasp the reasons for it. But I know ultimately I'm bound to those that love me. To those that have molded me into what it is they see in me. To those that have needed me to be, to be what I am in their eyes, and to exist. To exist. To make existence easier on others is to exist with them. Make it something worthwhile.

You wouldn't have experienced a lot of things yet! There's so much beauty ahead of the four walls you are stuck thinking why do we even need to live. There's so much yet to explore and so little people get to live in the first place to live and explore them.There's scenic beauty you are yet to discover, the wonderful experience of love, the joy of celebrating festivities with loved ones, the amazing feeling of being on top of the world while winning something big or small, the adrenaline rush when you rush down a roller coaster. Make a bucket list have an aim ahead of the basic things like education or work or home or family and make list of things you would get a chance to explore all these amazing things. Life offers a lot of things, a lemon is just a quarter of it, there's much sweetness ahead of it.

Because you are here for a reason. There is still so much more to explore, experience and enjoy. Think of all the people you haven't met yet! All the books you haven't read yet. All the food you haven't tried out yet!! You deserve to see them. Even if it is hard right now, you are stronger than that. And it will get better, if you give it a chance to. You are not here by accident. Things will get better. There will be a day where you look back and are grateful for not giving yourself up. You deserve to live.

Sometimes it feels very painful to keep going. People on this site know that better than many others. It's okay to feel pain and to cry and even to feel like giving up. But why have you kept going thus far? Do you have a job, a brother, a friend who holds you up when you can't? What smells do you like? Rain on a mountain, rosemary on roasted chicken, cookies in the oven, freshly cut grass? What sights make you smile? The view from the top of a peak, your cat when you come home, a lizard on the sidewalk, a pretty bird? Sometimes all we have to keep us grounded are the tiny things that remind you to take a deep breath. It's okay to hang onto moments to get through a journey.

I know that some times, if not most of the time we don't see a reason for being here anymore. I have felt that way for a while but I have found that just the thought of never being here to the snow fall or stars in the sky and all the weird and crazy things about the people i know that i would really miss. I can't tell you your reasons to keep living because i don't know you but I can promise that if you at least try even if it is the smallest reason you need to keep fighting

I often ask myself this as well. Many say the purpose of life is to die and repeat the cycle. However, the more optimistic people believe how we live our lives is also important. While this is an overused and somewhat cliche phrase, it has some meaning. You could spent your entire time believing that life is useless, or you could try to just go along with it. Even though everyone has to die someday, you could do something to help those who come after you. Something to make the newcomers to life not believe that there is no use to life.

There has always been that nagging question that everyone has questioned at least once at some point in their lives. There may or may not be an answer. Nobody truly knows. What we all do know though is that we are here and we are living now, that is fact. The most important part of life I believe is to live it's full potential, questioning its existence allows us to realise how much time we really have left. This realization is what strives us to continue to want to live, love and learn before its too late. It's okay to question it as long as it doesn't negatively affect your daily life, at which point it becomes unhealthy. Wishing you the very best 🙂

Think back to a time when you didn't feel like there was no point in living. Even if it was a long time ago. What was different then? What were the reasons you stayed alive? No reason is too small. Think of the things, however small, that bring some joy or comfort. Stay for those things. Next, what would a life worth living look like to you? If you were to wake up tomorrow at not feel this way, what would be different? Maybe you would have different achievements or more friends. Whatever it is, that is a reason to stay alive. Those are things to strive for.

Even when I feel like I’m utterly useless, I try to think of the people that care about me, even if I don’t feel like they do. Sometimes we just feel down in the dumps, and that can be really challenging, since it can make us loose our will to live, but it can and will get better. While you might not know it, there are many people who love you for who you are, and would be ruined if you Where to forever leave them. Life is often very difficult, but sometimes, it can be very beautiful, precious even.

There is so much more to experience and so much more to do. Things do get better, eventually, and even if you don't want to keep living right now, there will be a time in the future where you see beauty or happiness and be glad that you kept living. You're unique among billions and losing you is a blow to the world. You will grow. You will have new experiences and meet people. You have so much potential and even if things are going badly right now and giving up seems appealing, trust me, it isn't worth it. It will never be worth it because you are an asset to this world. Don't give up!

When I was young, all the pressure of life was borne by my parents, and when I grew up, the pressure gradually came upon me. Everyone's life is so hard, but everyone is trying to live, may not be able to put down their love of those people or things. Whether one loves one's family or friends or oneself, or a cat or a dog, or even a grass or a flower, everything we do is for the people or things we love. We fight hard for something, and it's only for what we love. The concept of a good life is too vague. What is a good life? How much difference is there between the young us and the present us? We may spend our lives searching for answers, answering one question and another, but no matter how much we wonder or Fret, we keep on searching. It's not up to us to be born, it's not up to us to die, and it's up to us to make the choices we make in the middle. Anxiety is a stumbling block on our way forward, and it can undermine the effectiveness of our efforts. If you don't face up to your anxiety, you will fall harder and fail more miserably in your "hard-working" self-affirmation. Don't let all your hard work give way to anxiety.

There’s more to life than anybody could explain really, there’s so much purpose in everyone’s shoes. Everyone has a purpose including you. Don’t doubt yourself because life is like a roller coaster, it’ll always have its ups and downs. There’s so much to partake in life in general as well, such as meeting new individuals and making friends, traveling the world and making memories. Never give up and be true to yourself, always keep your chin up and put yourself before others and change will always come. There’s so much more to life than to question living in general, just go out and live!

When a person feels like there is no hope for improvement in their circumstances, it's really seeing things as if they're wearing blinkers. Depression blinds us to reality, like tunnel vision. Someone said that with such an illness, the light at the end of the tunnel seems like an oncoming train, not sunlight. Our interpretation of the negative around us is magnified and our capacity to believe change is possible for the better becomes zero. It doesn't mean that hope has gone, it's just life viewed through the lens of depression. I used to greatly reduce my interaction with the world and anything in it - shunning friends, family, laying in bed for days, not eating, not sleeping - just numb and stuck in a neutral, black mood. I well remember a really bad episode when for 6 months I neglected myself completely. Everyday I felt the oppressive cloud on me like a heavy weight. I wanted change but it my depression made me feel like I was just at the mercy of a merciless illness & a heartless society. I didn't think there was anything wrong with me, other than that I was a complete failure and it was pointless to go on. I was told by medical people that there was no cure, I'd be on medication for life but that depression and such feelings as not wanting to live a purposeless existence could be managed. Things could change, but I had to take that first very small step - a choice. So one morning I took a shower. I felt clean and a tiny, tiny bit pleased with myself. It takes a long, long time to get the management right. It can be done, the blinkers are still there but not so big. A spark of hope becomes a smile, a twitch of a smile becomes a glimmer of hope ... The reason to keep living is that you're precious. You're special. You CAN make that very small choice that will bring about a very slow but certain path to change for the better.

Think about the wonderful people who love and care for you. There is always somebody out there who will love and value you as a person and not something else. Keep going and telling yourself that you either A: Found this person or B: Will find this person. There is somebody out there for you, somebody who will show you just how amazing and wonderful your life is! Giving up is like ending a book without finishing it, you may never know if the hero beat the villain. Always keep reading and learning new things in this life, besides you only have one. Might as well make this the very best life ever!

Keep living. Because you are the reason someone else smiles, is inspired, laughs. You create joy by being alive even when you don't feel it yourself. Keep living, because without you, lives aren't impacted. Keep living because you're experiences can be the difference for others. You are alive for a purpose, and the world deserves the chance to feel the full impact of what you create over a full lifetime. Keep living because the world deserves the gift of you. Keep living because above all, you matter to the people who love you and the people who have yet to feel the gift of your love.

We all have intrinsic value and self worth whether one realizes it or not. Not to sound cliche, but the use of living comes from ourselves. When we realize our self worth and begin doing our best at life, we create our own self value. It's difficult when you have no will to do anything with your life. I've been there. I felt like I was only hurting the people around me, and was better off dead not only for myself but for the world. One night I ended up understanding that it wasn't too late. Yes we have all done bad things to a certain extent, but it's within our reach to make it right. Suicide ends up being a permanent solution to a temporary problem. In the end we all have a self worth, we just have to want to use it.

Every life is important, every life has purpose. Thinks of the goodness in the world as color. To you, the world may seem like a grey, empty canvas, but I promise, that if you keep looking, you can find color in even the darkest places. If you are still struggling, remember that everyone exists to add color to the world. If you can’t find the color, paint it! If you didn’t exist, the world would lose some of its color. You have more impact than you know, and the color you add to the world is very important. Keep going!

Because life is an incredible journey, you will always be positively surprised but you need to keep an open mind and receiving heart, and it's worth it because life is one and precious. Everyone is going through difficulties and this is part of the path and without difficulties we will not know joy or be able to appreciate the good, sweet sides of life and trust me there are such. If you feel stuck, start here, take a day off from worry and look at a tree, look at a flower or a puppy - see how they just exist in the now and receive the bliss of that feeling and go from there, slowly, rediscover the world again. It's welcoming and there is something for everyone.

Well ,not everything is sunshine all the time ... but we hold the ability to light a candle in the dark times... We all are linked somehow... we thrive because of relationships .. I'd like to think that we would make meaning out of living .. when we have had a positive impact on someone ,... well you've been given the chance to live so be a blessing to someone.... being materialistic will not give meaning to your life .. you'll learn that it is futile ..... We are interdependent...make use of what is given to you to help someone out ,bring a smile on someone's face ,living for others gives your life meaning . That's why there is family ..they live for each other .. If one of them dies .. it will have a lasting impact on the others ... The parents live to take care of their children,support them ,be there for them.... and children work to make their parents proud ...... it is not ideal ..but definitely the driving force as to what they live
