Tips for carrying on when you don't want to anymore?

[smallspecklargesky]

I am utterly wretchedly unhappy. I don't really like anything about my life or even myself anymore. I can find things to do that make me feel happier whilst I do them, but my underlying life is, well, awful. I only really carry on as I have kids. But they are young, I am not, and the thought of carrying on like this for years to come is unbearable. I've spent years trying to improve things but I think I have reached the end of the line in that. I just don't have much capacity to change things - or the things I can are too small to make an impact.

So are there any tips from anyone who has found a way to just keep going in a life they don't like or want?

A New Earth is even better.

Hi OP, just wanted to tell you that you have achieved one thing today. I have found the advice on your thread really helpful and it will help me get through a difficult time.

By the way it sounds to me that at the moment you are struggling because you are isolated, and your home and work situation makes it difficult to reach out to others and meet people. This is something that can change.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a support thread for people who are struggling in this way? Like some of the other support threads on other topics.
