I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than spend another god damn day in my fucked up life. (No, I'm not suicidal. I'm too much of a wimp to actually kill myself. Hurt myself, yes, if you count ramming my head into things. Maybe professional help isn't quite out of the question....)
Mel Brooks had a movie called "Life Sucks." An apropos description, yet I've managed to put up this facade of things being okay. They're not. And things have to change.
I'd love to wake up the morning of January 1, 2006 as a new person. But it wont happen. But I can make changes. And that's what the Phoenix in this site is about. The rising up from the ashes.
So I begin 2006 with this process of starting over. It wont be easy. It'll be ugly at times. It'll hurt. But it has to be done.

Thanks for stopping by, Layla.
The site's going to be doing through a major theme change soon. (Well, once I get the comments to work correctly on the new theme. Which is odd, since it's the same comment structure as I have now.)

I'd rather be dead
Hell I would rather be Dead than live a life of physical pain and loss.
4 years ago I got fibromyalgia it completely screwed up my life.
Chronic Fatigue to kill your energy,Brain Fog to zap your ability to think,
Tingling and pain in Hands and Feet. Depression it goes on.
Cant be diagnosed or treated.................Great
So world get ready to lose your job, home, self esteem, physical beauty etc...
I spoke to a recruitment consultant today and he told me I am unemployable
So I agree with your sentiments I really would rather be dead...........

Hey man common cheer
Hey man common cheer up!
Don't look at the world with this vision. If the life gives you a thousand reasons to cry then show the world that you have million of reasons to smile. So cheer up and be a brave man and show the world that you have millions of reasons to smile.

i feel your pain
Dude, i feel your pain mate. I had exactly the same situation. been split 6 yrs now after having 6 yr relationship. felt like u do pretty much every day for the past 6 yrs. recently itho i have been using the pain to fuel the nager and as a result i have begun to want to move on whereas before i didn't. its a long tunnel dude but there is light at the end. dont give up. I also have kids but i have 3 and from 2 relationships. people dont believe love can be so powerful even when you have been shafted from on high but it is and i know it. just rememebr u cant give uop or all the pain and heartache and dealing with things have been a waste of time and the biggest hurt wont be you or your ex it will be the kids and none of us have the right to hurt children like that. Man up and say Fuck it. It takes time so keep saying it.

life
i'd rather be dead too. I have literally sat on the couch for 3 years thinking that. I can't get a job because of all the lies people make up about me are taken as truth, and everyone else just thinks i'm paranoid. No one even asks for my version of the stories, they just whisper behind my back. My life is a futile exercise in suffering and apathy. I wish someone would shoot me in the head because i don't have the guts to do it myself. I don't have any friends i can trust and even my dad and my sister don't like me very much anymore because they think i'm mad. I don't even think anyone would come to my funeral. If they did they would probably celebrate my death. One day soon i will probably do it finally and everything will be over. Sometimes life is just horrible and there's nothing that can be done except kill yourself.

To ali-bye and others
I've just g**gled the expression 'I'd rather...' and found this place. Would be nice to know all of you in person. Ali-Bye's message has touched me a lot and I would like to talk to him/her saying:
I might know how you feel. And I am convinced that people would come to your funeral - as people show up on funerals for all kinds of reasons, sometimes just because of fulfilling an obligation to the 'what might others think'-society. Maybe your dad and your sister really don't like you very much - looking at myself when I am depressed and miserable, even I don't find myself a pleasant person to be around. And don't even want to be in my company myself! So your dad and sister might just show their frustration that nothing they do helps you to become a happy-lucky-cheery person. The type of human behaviour that is set as the 'gold standard'.
I have found great calm and strength in the thought that I don't have to live for others. I don't care if anyone comes to my funeral. I just spend my lifetime wandering and wondering on this planet and try to be what I consider being a kind person.
We'll all die eventually. As long as the suffering is bearable, I shall hang around. It would be great to have the company of someone like you, Ali-Bye. Try to hang in a little longer.
