Is it bad to think that...?

You have lived too long. I am 21. I know I am very young, but part of me has been thinking that I have lived too long and was supposed to die a bit of a while ago. I have thought this for little over a year. I don't know how to describe it, but it is almost as if I have already lived my life and no longer deserve to keep living. I am not a terrible person, but I just feel this way. Is there anybody else that feels this, too.

    its not bad, its just naive.

    there is a world outside of yourself to see. you could easily only spend then next 1000 years just seeing it all. then there is the moon and mars. by the time your done with earth there will be a lotto see there. And dont forget Titan, Eurpoa, Cere will have a great casino built on it by then.

    Let me put it another way; at 21 puberty hasnt even ended. Your brain is the last thing to finish and its not done being re-wired until your mid 20s; Checking out before your body is even finished being made just seems a bit ungrateful.

    You are not a terrible person. However these thoughts are very worrisome. You are only 21. You have a TON of life to live. Try to understand that. Most people live to be over 60 any more so that gives you at least another 40 years or even more. There is no way you can have experiences everything there is so experience in your life by the age of 21.

    If you are really concerned with these thoughts try giving a crisis line a call or find a counselor in your area to talk to. You need to have a place to vent these thoughts in a healthy manner rather than just think that you need to end your life. Hopefully you are not having thoughts of wanting to do something to harm yourself. Those thoughts are never the answer. Maybe try keeping journal to help yourself feel better. Sometimes having a safe place for these thoughts helps sort them out for you.

    Hang in there. You don't have to focus on these thoughts. Live your life to the fullest. Experience knew things every day and know that your life is more meaningful the longer you live it.

    Take care,

    You are not terrible; you are depressed and it is easily treated.

    Your life has barely even begun. The rest of your life will be the best of your life.

    The brain is a very complicated and delicate thing. It can get messed up and be unable to produce any or enough serotonin. This is called a chemical imbalance which is easily treated, very common and nothing to be ashamed of.

    It can cause depression, anxiety, panic, obsession, self harm/self hatred, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, sleeping problems, aggression/rage, anger, phobias, fears, helplessness, hopelessness, hypochondria, ADHD, paranoia, OCD, headaches, lack of interest in things, lack of motivation/ focus and much more.

    According to those who have gone to therapists, counseling and therapy dont help much. They are not even allowed to prescribe appropriate meds to help you get better.

    Tell a dr. about all this and ask him for anti-depressants. Zoloft/Sertraline is a good one; most people thrive on it and it has no side effects. It enables the brain to function property. With antidepressants, you will be much better, happier, calmer, confident, relaxed and feel normal. What a difference it makes!!

    Continue taking meds even when you feel better. You need them, so stay on them. And good luck to you!
