This incredibly depressing realization I'm not doing well...but it will only get worse..

[Defenestration]

This incredibly depressing realization I'm not doing well... but It will only get worse.

it will only get worse over time. Someone who is depressed/lost their job/has gone through a breakup/is grieving might tell themselves that things will be better in 6 months or a year.

But me:

- My mother has Alzheimer's disease and it can only get worse.

- My father is turning 76 and is starting to get tired.

- My dog is going to be 12 years old and he won't be around forever.

- My numerous psychiatric illnesses that I've been dealing with for over 20 years are incurable.

On top of that, I have both my parents to support.

I dream of committing suicide, but I can't. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be for me...

the next 5 years are going to be very difficult.

I'm in a pretty similar situation. I'm too rational and I know how this will end. It's not pessimism, it's just being realistic. I'm sad for my old mother who don't deserve to have a dead child and it's probably the same for you.

Je suis dans une situation assez similaire. Je suis trop rationnelle et je sais comment cela va finir. Ce n'est pas du pessimisme, c'est simplement du réalisme. Je suis triste pour ma vieille mère qui ne mérite pas de perdre un enfant, et c'est probablement la même chose pour vous.

Yez exacty

I hear you. My whole life people have been telling me "it gets better".
But even if you have a happy life, how is anything getting better? Life is nothing but a series of problems. Your teeth will rot, your skin will develop wrinkles, your loved ones will die, this world is going to shit. No matter who you are. Life is shit.
But I envy people who are delusional enough to believe that it gets better.

 

[Defenestration]

Je comprends. Toute ma vie, on m'a dit « ça va aller mieux ».
Mais même si on a une vie heureuse, comment les choses pourraient-elles s'améliorer ? La vie n'est qu'une succession de problèmes. On finit par avoir les dents pourries, la peau ridée, les êtres chers qui meurent, le monde part en vrille. Peu importe qui on est. La vie est une vraie galère.
Mais j'envie les gens qui sont assez naïfs pour croire que ça va s'améliorer.

Exactly same.problems.
Why do you do to live with this?

Yes indeed, going to be tough for you--All my relatives are dead, save for my 83 yr old stepmother, who is rich and 2000 miles away, so I will never have to take care of her anyway--But I have a lonely depressing life otherwise
