Anyone else wish they never been born?

[Shortie]

Hey, I've been feeling this way for quite some time. Does anyone else feel the same? Like knowing what you know now, if someone were to ask you before birth if you wanted to be born, would you rather not? :(

[Sonic Boom]

Quite a depressing thought you have! Well I haven't made many people happier in my lifetime...+ I've done more harm than good....which is why I'd prefer not to have existed. But I try to improve. At least I do that.

[Mortal Coil]

I sometimes do. I only bring pain and evil into the world. I trigger the self-harmers, waste people's time and (in my parents' case) money... you get the idea. My birthday lives on in infamy.

I do, at times.. usually when nothing seems to matter and i seriously wonder why i even bother getting up in the morning.

But i do get up, day after day.. for some unfathomable reason that keeps me going on when i'd rather just give up and die.

I think about this sometimes and I suppose I would say no i'd rather not have been born. Life is hard and to me quite often it seems pointless and not worth living.

I have always thought that if I had the chance to press a big red button button that would completely erase my existence (and therefore not cause pain to others like suicide would), I'd press it. I have held that thought as far back as I can remember, and I'd still do it now. Life just doesn't seem worth it.

But we can't. There's no way we can stop being born. Instead of dwelling on the impossible, we should work on making the future something we don't want to escape from.

I've definitely had a positive impact on quite a few peoples lives, but I don't actually enjoy living at all... :(

Sometimes.... If I committed suicide, there's more chance I would hurt someone. If only I were never born, nobody would miss me, nobody would go through any grievances I put them through, nobody would care, and nobody would ever think of me again. It does seem like an easier option. If only it were possible.

I have the same feeling sometimes. Well, something like that. I mean, I'm kinda weird and I belive, that there's life on other planets and I belive in reincarnation (please, don't say anything about that, even my parents and friends think I'm weird), so I sometimes ask myself: "Why would anyone want to be born on Earth? It's such a screwed up planet!" And if you think about it, it really is a screwed up planet. And that's because we, human beings, feel so much. We can feel so much hate and anger and other negative feelings and probably some other alive beings out there don't feel that much. So it's easier for them, right? But then again, nature doesn't distinguish negative and positive feelings. So, if we couldn't feel that much negative feelings, we wouldn't be able to feel that much love and other positive feelings. And ofcourse, that's very cliché and blahblahblah, but in my crazy head things work this way. It makes me sorta feel better, so when I'm angry or sad, I think about that. I think it's worth it. It's the matter of priorities.

If I felt like that then my biggest fear (death) wouldnt be a fear. Everything in my life is all over the place and I dont have many friends, I have been moraless forced out of my home and my family consists of 2 people of which one is mentally ill. I've never had a girlfriend and I doubt I'll ever get one at this rate because I never go anywhere to meet one. But there is one thing that keeps me going strong and that is hope/imagination. You may think that your not needed or that no one will miss you etc but you could'nt be more wrong. I have never met any of the people on here in real life but I'm sure alot of you people with problems that dont appear to be solvable are really nice people and just normal like me but as it happens your in what seems to be a never ending battle with bad luck. Just remember... your not alone :)

You are definitely not alone in these thoughts. There have been many points in my life where the only thing keeping me from killing myself was knowing I was hurting my family. So then that thought creeps in your head... not of killing yourself, but just fantasizing about nonexistence. Wishing everything you know, reality, perception, emotions, the solar system, just not taking place. It's a thought out of bounds, which is probably what makes it so appealing.

I personally think everybody feels this at least one point in their life. It sucks so bad because I can relate and I know it's fucking shitty. Getting a strong support system and taking things day by day (or task by task) can improve things at least slightly, that's what I've learned. There's no black and white answer... no magical cure-all. It's just a matter of taking things slowly, trying to find out what makes you hurt less.

And we're always here to vent to if you need. :)

I used to think like that.
