I'm scared...?

Ok this question just got removed so I am asking it again. The problem is: I feel I have no purpose in life, and I have been wanting to just vanish, but not die. My dreams have been crushed, I am overweight, I have keratosis pilaris (skin disease) and nothing seems to go right. And I have a fear of growing old. Help?

I'm scared...?
Well we are all afraid of getting old. The closer I get to 35 the more I worry! Not that 35 is old, just sounds so old when I was in high-school.





You have issues that you can do something about. Maybe pick 1 thing as you goal, 1 thing that the outcome will make you feel good about yourself. If loosing the weight is too much right now, pick something like taking care of someone else (Child, older person, animals) That could give you a good feeling and fuel you into something else.





I do not know anything about your skin condition. It sounds like something that take a lot of effort to deal with and is emotionally difficult. Why not put this worry on the back burner. You have dealt with it until now, you can do it a bit longer. Then once you are feeling better try seeing what else you can do there.





You can do it. Just go slow. One issue or step at a time. You can not expect yourself to make everything you dislike about yourself better fast. I have things I have hated about my self since I can remember. Some thing have worked out, some have just become less important and some I am still dealing with.





Everyone out there has something. Even if you look at them and think their lives are perfect they are not. You are not alone in this.





What are your dreams? Is there some part of it you can salvage? Try. You can always be proud of yourself if you try. You can make a difference.
Reply:you have to take life day by day, it'll only get better.


seek help?


yes.





dont think about wanting to "vanish".


if you really did, you would regret it.
Reply:Try to remember that you are not alone in this world and that just about everyone around you has the same fears or worse. Have you tried going to counseling?
Reply:It sounds as if you are depressed. I think that you should seek some help. Please talk with your parents. Even if you can't afford professional help, there is often ways to get counseling on a sliding scale or for free. If you don't think your parents are listening, talk to your school guidance counselor, minister (or priest or rabbi), trusted relative or adult friend, doctor, or you get the drift. If you do think about hurting yourself, please call 911. Good luck.
Reply:Sweety, you do have a purpose in life, something special, something that only you are able and were made to do. God created you the way you are for a reason. I know what it feels like to be plagued by a sickness or disease, it is very very difficult to say the least, but you need to turn to God, only He can take away the pain and the sadness and replace it with hope and joy. You are not an accident, knowing that God uniquely created you what areas of your personality, background, and physical appearance are you struggling to accept? "For God has said, I will never leave you, I will never abandon you."
Reply:im not even kidding i feel EXACTLY as what you just described


:(
Reply:why did your question get removed? well i have the same fears and problems as you sweety i hate my life and i feel ungrateful for feeling this way because im lucky to have a home food to eat and parents who adore me but no ones perfect and i cant help but feel so lonely like i do. i too dont want to grow old im 19 and life is passing me bye........dont cry dont be sad i too just want to vanish i guess all i can say to you is to keep the hope that one day youll look back and all of this will just be a faze and youll be happy have faith i try too
Reply:Believe it or not you do have a purpose in life.
Reply:You don't know God's love. If you truly have faith he is real, your life will be blessed. Blessed are those who have faith in him through the darkest of times. It's the devil making you think you have no purpose in life. Each person God has created has a purpose to live, to spread the word of him. Faith is truly enough proof to me. It's all the proof you need in life. Just give church a try, you'd be surprised about how much happier it can make someone. Here come the thumbs down. Oh well, I spoke what I believe, and if that isn't enough, well, I don't know what is.
Reply:I had a friend who had a simliar problem. She wanted to kill herself, but never could. And I creid with her becasue she was my best friend, and I didn't want her to die like that. I reminded her about all the things she valued in life, her friends, her material items if they make her happy, the past experiences that make life joyful. If you want to vanish, wouldn't it be unbearable for everyone who care about you? I bet you're very pretty physically, despite being overweight, and if you're dreams are crushed, create new goals to help you achieve yur old ones. Look back in life when you were happy and recreate it! If you fell you have no purpose in life, do something that is important to YOU, so you can make a difference in something. Talk to your friends if you don't want to talk to yur family, and vice versa. Let 1 person know what you're feeling inside. I'm not so sure about the skin disease, but I have had some pretty bad skin diseases as well; when I was a baby all the skin peeled off of me! And today I have scars on by stomach and back--but disregard physical apperances, because who you are as a person matters most! Take life one day at a time, becoming old isn't bad, if you live slowly, and focus on the present. When you are old, things will be different, but it wont feel like you have been here a lifetime! It's great to live long and see new experiences. I hope you overcome your fears!
