How do you live?

[kardashianklone]

There is no point to my existence. The world would miss me. There is no good, only bad and sad. How do you keep going on?

The world would miss you.

Who do you have in your family?

No one. It doesn't matter. I'm sorry to have wasted your time. I'm not worth your attention. Apologies.

You’re not wasting anyone’s time OP. We’re all here to chat and I’m sure many of us have felt like you do at some point.

Whats been going on?

We can listen. Has something gone wrong today? Of course you have value.

Hi OP

Can you tell us more about what's happening to you that you are comfortable to share?

Look for any tiny thing that seems positive or beautiful. A flower growing out of a crack in a wall. A bird singing nearby. The warmth of your cup of tea. Anything that's not negative. And focus on that as a ray of hope.
And don't worry about tomorrow or later. Focus on now and getting through the next 5 minutes.

We won't judge you. Maybe we can help.

Is it raining outside where you are? If it didn't rain, there wouldn't be flowers.

It passes. Everything does. There will be days in your future when you just turn your face towards the sun & feel how marvellous it is. There's food in your future that will fill you with amazement! So many books you haven't yet read, films to be seen, so much music.

Hang on for the future

This is just how you're feeling in the moment. Is there someone that you can call for a chat?

We would miss you xx

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

We see that you are getting some wonderful support already - support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters. But as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.

Best wishes,
MNHQ💐

We would! Please chat to us.

It's so pathetic. I've been made redundant. I am literally not wanted or needed anymore. I've had almost 60 interviews in the last few months and no job offer. I worth- LESS. How am I meant to contribute?

What kind of work would you like to get?
Work is just that, a job. It's not who you are.

OP, please keep talking.

life can be very painful and we go through difficult times. I went through a similar phase but pulled through because of me children.

Hi op, it's not pathetic at all, it's like this for a lot of people right now it doesn't mean your worthless or unwanted it's just there is a lot of competition for one job. Are you in a position to go for a voluntary work? I promise you you are not worthless I've felt as you do and things will get better xxxx

Perhaps you could just take a break from the job hunting. Do you have a friend or relative you could chat to, or visit?

You’re worth my attention, and lots of other people’s by the looks of this thread.

You are quite understandably down at the moment, but this won’t last forever.

Is it raining where you are?

You are NOT worthless. Depression has possibly put grey glasses on everything. Doesn't help when the skies are grey too. Be gentle and keep going.

Redundant means your ROLE is no longer needed by the business. It is no reflection on you or your value as a person.
It's tough out there. Not many jobs, too many applicants. You are no more worthless than all the other people who got turned down for those roles.
If you met someone at an interview who messaged you later to say they hadn't got the job, would you think they were worthless? No? So why tell yourself that?

Hi

you're 'worth' my time, energy & compassion.

its shit being made redundant, but it's no reflection on you as a person & you're worth more than your job.

what kind of jobs have you been applying for?

I'm going to be made redundant next year, am I worthless?

It's not who you are.
Who are you? What do you normally enjoy, what relaxes you, makes you interested, makes you happy?

Are you feeling tired? If you can go to bed and rest, that will help.
