the grind of existence

Deleted User

what is there to live for in a world where one's presence or absence has little effect on it?  when money driven industries use every means at their disposal to profit from our misery, illness, wants and needs and healthcare extended our lives beyond what is naturally sustainable and the commodification of relationships ensures all but the most trending and desirable will wallow in loneliness and automation and downsizing decimates jobs and livelihoods?

our minds and hearts are numbed by 24/7 entertainment, digital distractions and mesmerising social media while the earth slowly dies.

  • Dear TheFool,

    Thank you for posting and telling the community what you are going through. Thank you for sharing. Many people have similar thoughts when coping with so much and we hope you’re okay.

    If you are unable to cope with the distress or despair, it’s very important to tell someone about your feelings or thoughts of suicide. Call your GP and make an urgent appointment. Your GP can make sure you get appropriate help and support

    The National Autistic Society does not currently operate a crisis or emergency service.

    We advise you to contact 999 or any of the mental health crisis lines listed on our Urgent Help Page if you are at risk of immediate harm: www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/urgent-help

    If you are not at immediate risk of harm, we would encourage you to speak to your GP or another health professional about this if you haven’t done so already. If it’s outside your GP hours call 111 to reach the NHS 111 service. In in England, Wales and Scotland there is now an option to speak with mental health professionals by selecting ‘option 2’ when calling NHS 111: www.nhs.uk/.../

    I usually take it all in stride, but some days things just really rattle you especially with low self esteem and having no real sense of identity or belonging.
