Has the situation evolved? You said you had siblings? Any help on that side?

Don't try and 'get through this' by yourself.

There are people out there who will do their best to help you. Find them and ask them to help. Sometimes whatever 'it' is, is more than one person can deal with.

Good luck mate.

Don't be afraid to seek out professional help. Regardless of what you are going through, you are truly never alone.

Sharing with us can be a good start (sans the shitty comments). We can certainly chime in with our opinions and provide you with a slightly more objective view of reality.

Hang in there,

That article is a bunch of nonsense. If you are going through a hard time there is no need to define it with esoteric psycho-babble..  The truth is that tough times are just that - TOUGH times. Getting through them will make you stronger, but you don't need to pretend it's some silly journey. Happiness is a CHOICE. Period. Once you fully understand this you will control your happiness. There does not have to be a constant ebb and flow of our emotions. Will you feel better some days than others? Of course. But when you learn that you can CHOOSE each day to be happy you will never have to have miserable days again. Circumstances do not define our happiness - things that happen in our lives do not either. We have the incredible power to simply CHOOSE to be happy each and every day.
I do hope that you feel better man - i will definitely say a prayer for you.

that is the kinda of website that has so far caused 30% of internet users to use adblockers

As far as what you are experiencing , almost everyone regardless if they admit it or not is going thru something. Many people hide their life drama well hence we see so many suicides by people everyone thought are doing great.

My only advice to you is, reflect on your life and remember the darkest of times that you felt you are done, then remember how that passed. Obviously for new drama to hurt it must be greater than the last.

There is a good chance that In a year from now you will laugh at your current situation.

MOST IMPORTANT! Whatever you do, do not turn to no religion or god or prayer. These things just lead people into bottomless pits hence the world is so full of misery. DO not read no bible do not go to churches or pray or ask anyone to pray. Just do whatever you can within your power and do not involve any god or gods nor anyone who believes in that.

I think I am entering unknown territory my friends. The depth of my pain seems bottomless.  :'(

Got a lot of shit going on at the minute and starting to buckle under the pressure.

What is causing the pain? Keep the answer short - Maximum 10 sentenses!

Thoughts? Life on this planet? Traped in a environment u dont like? No friend? Love? Or something else?

I notice a few getbiggers dismissed this article, I wonder if they even read it.  It describes the process of the so called 'Dark Night of the Soul.' If you have never been through a similar experience you wont be able to identify with what is written in that article.  But if you are in the throes of the dark night, every word of that article is spot on.  The Dark Night of the Soul isn't often discussed, but it ha long been known to be a well known path to spiritual wisdom, albeit a painful one.  You can experience several of them over the course of a lifetime, this is the third time it has happened to me, the most powerful one yet.  Those who live a superficial life will have no idea what I am talking about, most people are asleep.
