  What can I do when I feel i can't keep going....

  by Free!! in

  2. friends

  i have been having an awful week/month/year/life and i just feel like i can not move forward anymore... is like life is passing me by and i am just observing from the side lines.... i am so tired, i just want to sleep and never wake up..... has anyone felt like this?

  i tried therapy (twice) an it did not work, i tried volunteering and surrounding myself with other people and things to do, and it works until i have to come home, then that feeling of emptiness returns.... .

  i am so tired... i do not know what else to do.... .

  Check with your doctor to see if you have clinical depression. If you do, get treated for it.

  Poll: What do you believe now?

  by Lunatic Faith in

  2. friends

  i have been noticing we ex-jw's are very different in our choices of beliefs once we leave the wts.

  some choose christianity, others flee christianity.

  some find they can't beieve in anything any more.

  Living the way you're living isn't healthy. Go to school, get a skill, get a job, and move out on your own. Fnd out how your cousin made it on her own. After you're away from your mom, you'll feel empathy for her sad condition.
