Do you ever feel like you don't want to live your life anymore?

...nope...

...surf everyday, having fun in a good life and help those who help themselves...

...nope...

Yes, I would say everybody at some stage of their life has grasped the futility of their existence and contemplated taking their own life. On the whole though your brain is always tricking you to stay alive by instinct e.g. painful memories are generally harder to recall than happy memories over enough time, which means to assert your will over nature takes an immense psychological change which most people won't ever experience barring severe mental crisis/illness.

As to wondering what life could have been this is also futile and unproductive as a pastime.

Life is and never will be perfect, involves a world of completely uncontrollable events and comes and goes within the blink of an eye.

Philosophy is fine but on the whole more corporeal matters should be your first concerns. Over analysis of anything in life means paralysis which in this instance would make you as good as dead anyway.

Notwithstanding the above I still think Hubert Selby Jr produced a better answer to the second part of your question.

"But I knew that someday I was going to die. And just before I died, two things would happen: Number 1 – I would regret my entire life.

Number 2 – I would want to live my life over again..."

I've had that feeling for a while now.

Something that helps me is if you stop looking at your life from a whole point of view and break it into sections. Make little goals for yourself (a big test, a date, or even a tv show).

Make yourself a reminder that will help you to appreciate things you have and cheer you up when you get all gloom and doom. I have a bracelet that I wear everyday that says celebrate life. It reminds me of my family and friends and how lucky I am to have them.

Don't regret anything! Once you've made a choice, you can look back on it and think of how you could have changed it to make the choice better, however, don't dwell on it. Move on with your new knowledge and apply it to the choices you're making now.

Remember, if it feels like too much, find someone (preferably in person) who you talk to that can help you decipher what you're feeling.

Hope I helped and I hope you can gain a more positive attitude towards life.

ya know. you raise a good point here. And I think a lot of people feel that way at some point in their lives. One thing to remember is, and I don't know how old you are or what your "situation" is, but we're NEVER as locked into our lives as we THINK we are, regardless of the situation.

In other words, if you feel that way, well, everyday is a NEW day, which gives you the opportunity to do NEW and different things. Make NEW choices. Start over so to speak. True you can't change the past. But you can ALWAYS change your present and future circumstances by making conscious decisions to CHANGE. That way, not so many regrets. You gotta follow your heart because in the end, no matter what anyone else says, you gotta live with YOU. and you'll NEVER be happy living your life for someone else..

Hope you feel better soon.

The best part of your life is spent asking yourself how much longer will this go on. And in the next breath the flip side of the coin appears and you transform your opinion to wow where did the years go. Teenage years should count as points for parents towards getting into heaven or something.

who thinks of these kinds of things? i think you need some love to make you see life in a more positive way cause you are seeing only the negative and thats not good.

what happened in your past is past. you have the power to change things in your life for the better. strive to be a better person and learn to open your eyes to good things in life. we are all human that needs someone to talk to, someone to love and care for us as we do in return. change is the start of a new life... a new beginning.

more power!

I feel everyone has felt that way one time in their lifes.

but you should never regret what you have done in your life, Its an experience and you should benefit from it.

think positive not negative, and make better choices from now on.

Yes, when I was in my early twenties. But then I realized that life is precious. I hope you do as well.

YES
