I want to live, but I can't find a reason. Help me! By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am constantly anxious and worried every day, too afraid to go out, and too afraid to let my family go out either. I'm always afraid something bad will happen, and this state makes me want to end my life. But I'm struggling because of the moral coercion from my family regarding "supporting the elderly." I don't want to live this way; I want to live, but I don't know what to do. I need help.

Good day. I extend my support and encouragement from a distance.

I am aware of your inner anxiety, unease, and panic.

It is important to allow and accept the feelings of loss and gain that you experience, as well as your fear of not being able to go out and your anxiety about your family going out. Attempt to accommodate this sense of panic and unease in your heart. If your unease, worry, and panic negatively impact your emotional state, then attempt to adjust the intensity of your emotions by taking deep breaths. Then, attempt to gain a deeper misunderstandings-3872.html" target="_blank">understanding of what lies behind this unease and worry. For example, if you are worried that something will happen to you and your family and you will be unable to cope, then this self of yours may be perceived as inadequate, unfilial, and you may have difficulty accepting this self.

Additionally, it is important to identify the underlying needs that may be fulfilled by committing suicide. For instance, the need to be free from external pressure and coercion. It is essential to explore whether there are more constructive ways to address these needs. When individuals feel that their family's expectations of "support" override their personal choices, it can lead to feelings of discomfort, disrespect, and misunderstanding. In such instances, it is crucial to consider whether expressing one's genuine feelings could have been a more effective approach.

The original concept of children supporting their parents is a natural expression and transmission of love from the heart, following the children's receipt of parental love. Why do you feel that supporting your elderly parents is akin to being kidnapped? Is it because you were not treated well during your upbringing?

If this is the case, it would be beneficial to address the underlying issues through personal growth, self-love, and actively managing the impact of past experiences.

You're so strong! You're really fighting hard against the disease.

Everyone is special and unique. You are the only one who can truly understand your own emotions and save yourself. Even in the darkest moments of life, you have the power to become your own light, brightening up the whole world. And this isn't just about you.

We all know that when we're sick, we need to see a doctor. The same goes for emotional and psychological problems!

There are so many mental health resources out there, from diagnosis and treatment centers to online and telephone helplines. Everyone who's moving forward is a warrior, worthy of help and support. When you're feeling too tired, take a break and let the professionals help you to regain the beauty of life.

It's totally normal to feel worried and anxious when you care about something inside but feel like you can't protect it. It's only natural to be afraid of suffering harm because of your own inadequacies. But here's the thing: avoiding it won't make the fear go away. It'll just keep popping up in different ways.

You've got this! When you are strong, you can overcome your fears and protect what you want to protect. It can be tough to bridge the gap between saying and doing, but you've got this! Have the courage to face it and try a little. You'll get there!

We all get swept along by life, don't we? It's so easy to get caught up in the world and forget about our inner selves, the life we want, and our true selves. But when you start living for yourself again, the world changes in a different way.

The best reason to keep going is because you want to live. If you work hard for it, you'll see yourself living the life you want.

Your feelings are valid, and it's really brave of you to voice them. Sometimes just acknowledging the pain is the first step towards healing. Have you thought about contacting a mental health helpline? They can offer immediate assistance and resources.
