I am crushed by life; can someone see some answer?
Question:
Answers:
If you are serious, send me an email.
Meanwhile, why don't you have family or friends? Why are you ashamed?
By the way, so what if you're old? You're not dead. There is always hope for a better life until then. There are many, many examples of old people who suddenly made something out of themselves at a very old age (Grandma Moses, Col. Sanders of KFC fame, etc.)
Even if you think you're alone, you're not. Most older people start facing the grim reality that life didn't turn out the way they planned. But you know the saying, "Man plans, God laughs." So your plans didn't work out. Make new plans.
Penniless? So was Jesus, Ghandi, Van gogh...Don't measure your worth with money. Anyway, you can't take money with you so why spend your life accumulating it?
Tell us more about your life and we'll try to help. We all need a helping hand. And, strangers or not, we're all connected. You have a spiritual family whether you care to accept this or not.
There is always hope. :)
think happy and you will be happy
...where have I read that before?
the best thing to do in life is find something to do that you love.. first apologize to those close to you and make ammends..
then go out and try something new that you always have wanted to do
penniless?? no problem..go out and find a job you are enthuasiastic about and do your best everyday
hard work pays off and makes you feel a whole lot better
do something about it, its easier than you think, i did it
The crystal ball says...
Cannot Predict now!
Go write "Common Sense"
You just wrote my life story.
Your still alive right? People make their own destinies, you can pull out of it if you want by a little step at a time. Age has nothing to do with it. And see your not that penniless, you own a computer.
I am sorry. I really don't know what else to say.
Human suffering is so much present, I have no answers as to why so much pain .
I can only say that I am sorry.

Be a christian, go to church;
Find the good, be the good.
You are always welcomed by God.
There's nothing wrong with suicide. You sound like a good candidate. You yourself say you're old. Since you already have one foot in the grave, why not cut to the chase. You're only prolonging your miserable existence. Hope this helps.
Find religion?
Are you taking on to much at one time? Find out what you really want out of life and focus on one goal at a time. If it is a big goal, break it down in steps and go after each little goal until you achieve what you went after.
do something that makes you happy
Sorry, but this sounds like a fake question. Not too many penniless old persons get on the internet to ask for answers.
Well, Thomas, I am over 50, but my Mom is 80, and my Grandmother, who just passed away recently, was 100 yrs., 7 months and 2 days. Whenever I think of what a loser I am, I remember what those two ladies went through in their lives, including poverty to the point of at one time eating lard sandwiches.
Then I have nothing to complain about (Darn it!! LOL).
Hang in there, get involved in group activities, call Age and Opportunity, or some other local seniors' group. If you are not really old, comparatively speaking, then call a Crisis line for resources and references. Do something for someone else, get out and talk to strangers at a bus. Make sure you are showered and in clean clothes. Volunteer. God did not make junk! We are all here to make someone smile.
do something i bet you theres something you havent done yet
The best thing to do in a time like this is don't pity yourself. That's the absolute worst thing you could do. People who get caught in self pity often do become "nothing" in life. What you should do is get more involved in things, you know, get out and meet new people, get a good job with good benefits, exercise, join a club or church. Trust me. It works!
things are going to get better; maybe not right this instant but it will.
but it doesn't get better on its own, you have to get up and do something about it.
no more self loathing!:]
my advice- find a job that you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life
smile, life will get better
(if ur penniless how come you have a pc and internet?)(just askin)
The wise sayings from Proverbs:
1. Put God first.
2. Trust in God (it can be hard sometimes).
3. Seek out resources that can help you (your local mental health center).
It will not happen overnight, but slowly your fortunes will begin to turn around. And finish reading all of those Proverbs they will keep you "in good stead".
Always, ALWAYS, look around you.
Someone has it worse than you. At least you have access to a computer; otherwise, you could not have posted this question.
Start from this moment. Live in this moment. The future is unknown. The past is regret - even for the most successful folks.
Be easy on yourself.
Make a friend, do something nice for someone and don't let that person know.
It helps. I know, been there. God bless
don't feel so bad nothings possible if you don't believe it is so just believe
ah well, this is life, nothing you can do about it. Be more social, i wouldnt say to go as far as suicide, but, well, i guess it really depends. Get a job first i guess i should say, but if your really that old, and nothing to look forward to, then, just throw in the towels and accept that this is life and it will be over soon. Just try to be happy i guess, lol
Dont be so much depressed in life.
Learn from your experiences, and try to remember the good things that happened in your life.
You will get a positive energy, which will help you to live happier.
