I need a change in my life?

I am going through the motions of my life with nothing to live for. I go to a great school and can get a great degree, but when I'm there I'm depressed, suicidal, can't focus, I have so many ******* things on my mind because I'm heavily defective mentally and I just don't want to keep wasting my life doing things I hate, especially if eternal return is true. I just want to drop out of school but I feel like if I stay home I'm just going to live at home forever. I don't know what to do I feel like because of the way I'm born I'll never be truly happy or comfortable in myself and am cursed to a life of hell!! I have NO options!! What do I do??

    First of all, change your thinking. Your predominant thoughts become your reality. Most people want to be happy but wanting to be happy is a bit like wanting to be skinny. You can't get skinny without eating a good diet and exercise and you can't be happy without a good diet of positive input and mental exercises.

    First of all you have to release yourself from judgment. Judgment of others cause judgment of the self and is the most destructive thing ever to your psyche. Repeat the affirmation, "You are perfect and beautiful and I love you unconditionally" about anyone and everyone you come in contact with (to yourself of course). You must do this until you believe it. You will find that once you believe it about others, you will believe it about yourself. There a psychological reason for this that has to do with everyone thinking they are the average person, but the bottom line is it works.

    Once you free yourself from judgment you will feel worthy of a better life. At that point you can change the rest of your predominant thinking to that which you like. Start with gratitude. What you think about expands and right now your thoughts are focused on what you don't have that you like and what you do have that you don't like. You need to switch this by showing gratitude. Concentrating on what you're grateful for brings into your life more things to be grateful for. Write down one thing every morning that you're grateful for and feel the feelings of how it makes you feel for a minute. Add one thing to it every day and read the list feeling the feelings daily for a week. Then date it and start over.

    Use affirmations that make you feel good and empowered daily (always in the present tense). Add the tag line that it gets easier every day to them so that it will. Read inspiring material and watch inspiring movies. Fill your head with a diet of powerfully positive material. Don't watch depressing or cynical shows. You will have some negative thoughts, so remember to replace them as often as you can.

    You are the only one who can change your life and I have given you a plan of action. If your really ready for change, go do it. I know your capable so the question is, are you willing to change the way you think to bring about the reality you desire? Good luck.

    Live life loving.

    You have to change the way you perceive yourself. You have to double-think. While you know that your past is different act as if though it is not. Don't weight so much on the way you were born and learn to say to yourself that this day is your own, that this day is it's own, and that you control it not your past. It's hard, trust me but it's liberating.

    Write down everything you want to do with your life. Put what you wrote down in an envelope. And wait. Everything you write down will come true for you. I am saying; what you want will come to you, NOT you chasing after what you want in life. "Chasing after" never works. Sit, and wait, and the HOW to make what you want will come true, in ways you would never imagine. PS Tell no one what you wrote down. They will tell you all the reasons why what you wrote down will never happen. They you will quit.

    Writing down is what the most successful people in the world do. If you do not know where you are going in life; you've arrived!

    wow, you write some really crazy words

    i wonder at times if people make these things up, or is this really what they are feeling

    today i saw a man who was paralysed dragging himself along a street trying to sell some lottery tickets to buy food, his clothes were so dirty and him also, i cant imagine the effort, or the pain he must feel when doing this. he has no means to obtain a wheel chair and will day after day do this, then drag himself back late at night to where ever it is he may sleep

    lucky he doesn't have your life
