I am having trouble dealing with the everyday pain and discomfort of life

Lum -

I was kidding wit cha - ya never know when someone is serious or not on the internet. Good luck with the issues, you'll pull through.

Tiger88 had a good suggestion, although it was sarcastic.

Sometimes you think life just sucks

But think for a minute what would be your life if you were disabled or you were diagnosed cancer ?

To tell you the truth it would be simpler that's for sure. You don't know what it's like being inside a person's head in one of those situations so you can't say you or I are in a better boat.

I think Sartre called it nausea. The feeling of a wide open sea of possibilities. Sometimes it's hard to handle. Anybody know anything about the philosophy behind Milan Kundera's "Unbearable Lightness of Being?"

Also chaos image who said it was about figuring out your purpose in life?

In a word my purpose in life is happiness. It's more about figuring out how than what.

jeez, everyone has the right to complain every now and then....whether you think they have real problems or not is irrelevant....

no one put you down for your stupid "i can't get laid" bitch sessions.

An I can't get laid bitching session is hardly complaing about "the pain of life"... it is more tongue-in-cheek shit about the silliness of men not being able to make up their minds. LOL

True...

Hatorade? Feeling sorry for the people around me?

I belly-laugh on a regular basis. As a matter of fact the people around me who know a tiny bit about some of the difficulties I encounter daily can't figure out how I do it. Do you know how?

I think of a woman I saw once when I was going through a bit of a hard time a ways back (and no, it wasn't about getting laid or getting a life). She had no useful appendages.

Was a wake up call for me.

What will it take for you? ADD and a depresive disorder? Come on, that woman had no useful appendages. What is her life like compared to yours? And what did she do to deserve her lot in life?

I don't hate. You just have a hard time accepting the fact that you have nothing to really bitch about yet you are talking of "the pain of life"?

OK

I guess you need goals, challenges, projects or whatever you call it

Something that makes you go ahead
Something that makes you wake up in the morning happy to work on your project

Well whoop-de-fucking do! I laugh too and I work hard just as hard as you do. I don't have the advantage of fan club to admire me though. Oddly enough I'm not gonna complain about that.

As I said earlier you can't judge what her life is like compared to mine. What's to deserve? There's no justice. It just is.

When you read my post you made a decision to give a negative answer rather than to either move on or give support. If that's not hate I don't know what is. Your decision says a lot about your makeup.

Two further things:

not complaining about my diseases, just mentioning cos you said I don't and said if I do you're sorry. If anxiety and depression are not terrible diseases I don't know what are. I am very lucky to have an awesome psychiatrist and an arsenal of drugs to fight my problems.

The new way quotes are handled in VB is cool.

OK

no. its not ok. who are you to tell someone else that what they feel is a problem really isnt? if its a problem to THEM, then it is therefore a problem. May not be a problem for you, but that doesnt mean that isnt for him.

and just because someone has all 4 appendages intact does not mean that they too cannot be unhappy at any point in their life.
