Is this wrong?


Question:
I cant be bothered to get old! I mean I really do want to live for another 40yrs1 I am 25yrs feel completely tired (i know why and prob no hope of getting better) and the thought of getting up for work for another 25yrs fill me with dread. I would be happy to die in my sleep tonight. Of course I would be sad for my family but it would be ok for me

Answers:
Please don't be hard on yourself, life threw you a curve ball. Having an underlining problem that you feel will not get better is enough to sap your energy. That feeling of hopelessness having to live with it day after day with the thought that this is really 'it' for the rest of my life, that is depressing. But I'm guessing you have been here before and you are having a bad time of it of late.

This maybe of no help but you do not have a crystal ball you do not know 25 years from now. You don't even know your next birthday. Deaths pretty ultimate and your going to miss so much. You maybe given yourself the worst case scenario as you feel so low.

Furthermore, for every negative it take six positive things/thoughts to happen to counteract it (so the studies show). When I get low and it feels too hard I was taught to keep 'a good day diary' where none of the negative things that happened that day enter it. Stupid things like a quip on the t.v that made me smile, that sort of thing. This helped me to see that far from life being a long continuous energy sapping experience, good things, silly things, happy things, happen along the way. I can reassure you no two days are the same, it just sometimes feels like it.
I'm sending out a hug for you! It's going to get better. You are awesome and the world would be worse off without you in it. Take a good walk.
Bye then.
talk to a doctor! Best thing to do
You sound depressed to me..do some exercise to help your serotonin levels.
it might be a little worse for your family...who have to live with it for the rest of their lives. stop being selfish
well don't bother about getting old that takes no effort and will happen anyway.
ever thought about changing your job? Perhaps a different job might make you feel more motivated to go there.
On the whole tho you sound depressed and your whole post is a cry for help. Having feelings like you have are hard to deal with and interfere with having a full and productive life, please seek help, from a friend or a GP.
i feel like this some days but have two beautiful boys and lovely g/f and know that seeing them will cheer me up after work so it will get better for you if you let it
There's more to life than work. Stop working for a bit, and do something worthwhile. Take no notice of that Allen B prick.
adios! lol no jk

hang in there
I think you should make an appointment through your GP to talk to a counsellor. Concentrate on your family and how you'd feel if it was one of them x
You say you know why you feel tired - is this a medical condition? Because medical research is breaking new frontiers all the time, so never say never on a solution to the tiredness. If it's not physical then you need to think about what it is in your life that is making you feel this way. Have you thought about counselling? It can be a really useful place to sort through your feelings. You may find that talking things through with someone else will clarify how you feel - maybe there are jobs you can do that can fit around the chronic tiredness. Go and talk to your GP about how you are feeling, ask about counselling, it may help. In the meantime, the Samaritans are always there, 24 hours a day, here's their website:

You sound as though you are depressed. (Depression isn't how you imagine it, with sad-looking face and looking and feeling miserable all the time - no, it can have different ways of affecting you inside. There are different levels and strengths of depression)

I think you should see a doctor. There is no reason to not want to live. Work is not a reason to not want to live. I have had many sh*t jobs that made me depressed (nasty people etc), but now I work in a place that is OK./ It is dirty but the people are good and the pay is OK.

There are always things to "look forward" to - your interests, hobbies, friends - anything. It doesn't matter how trivial it is as long as you look forward to it. There is more to life than lads would have you believe of just beer and sex!

What takes your fancy? Take it up. What do you like doing? Do it. You will realise that you will want to live for another 40 years and you won't dread work. You will "use" work to pay for the things you like (as we all do).

You have depression. Go and see your Dr, get some medication, and in two or three weeks, you will start to wake up again.

Everyone gets down at times, and all people really need is a helping hand to see them through.
Getting up for work getting you down? you don't have to do it you know, find your calling mate, do something you want to do

For all i know it might be renting deck chairs on a beach in mexico or spain

Good luck and please follow some of the positive advice from the other answers
i reckon your just plain lazy.
i have to go to work every day including some weekends and i'm pushing 50
stop being so negative
I was the same way at 25. My x did it to me but I allowed him. He forged my name with a debt of about $125,000.00. I could not write it off in bankruptcy court. At the time, I was facing a garnishment of my wages for probably the rest of my life. But instead I got laid off so I had to move with my mom who was losing her house. All of these problems were happening at the same time.

Though, guess what? I never gave up, and because of hard work and determination I kept fighting and I won. I am now 40 Got a good gov. job, going to school, got a house excellent credit and stopped the garnishment.
I have heard of this. I think it is called chronic fatigue syndrome. You should really go to the doctor and let him check you. You could also have mono. But seriously, go to the doctor. You don't have to be this way.
get a grip life can be wonderful go to see your doc get some help and start living
