I'm not happy with the fact I am alive. I regret being born in the first place. Ideally speaking, I wish I was aborted as a baby... or never been existent in the first place.


But fuck the idealism. Thats not gonna get me anywhere whining and cryin over spilled milk.


Fact is... I'm here... typin this shit... I'm here... I've been born... and alive 23 years on the planet. Fact.


Tho I'm not happy, I just stick it out. Pride is my motivation... and my "warrior" mentality is what keeps me going.

I am quite happy to be alive. My SA is being treated and I am a lot better. There are still problems in my life and things I wish weren't there. Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep and just sleep for a couple of weeks and get away from everything. But I never wished to not wake up again. I guess I am lucky.

If you look on the bright side: you could've been born a beetle or a worker ant. So, yeah -- I enjoy life. SA just makes smaller things more satisfying and the pain and suffering is just another emotion to experience. :wink:

for many years I cried myself to sleep begging that I would just die. I have come a long way now and fortunately I don't feel the same way. I have very bad days but in general I am happy to be alive. of course every day I wonder why the bloody hell I'm here.....

I agree with iamantisocial. Not glad with the fact I was born. Not existing sounded so much more fun. But I am here dealing with it and probably will repeat the cycle.

I'm happy i'm alive.
10 months i didn't leave my home, now i'm able to go to parties, weddings (with next to no abnormal amounts of anxiety) etc etc.. There IS hope.

P.S. If you're feeling very anxious while reading this, you won't believe there's hope. Fact.

im glad im alive, cuz life is sweet, but SA makes me see it in a different aspect, the thing that gets me depressed is the fact that ill probably grow old and die, not having 2 do the things that i would want to do, or accomplish to fully be happy, but i just live with, day in day out, living is good

Here's one of my favorite (very short) poems by Robert Frost called "A Question":

A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.

.........Yes. I am glad to be here, to be alive. There is beauty in this world, in the bounty of nature, sometimes even in the selfless actions of our fellow humans. There's bad too, I grant you, and sometimes we shoulder more pain than we deserve. But one thing you can count on life to do is CHANGE. Even in the dark times, there are places and scenes in my head that I collect to think back on and they remind me that the world is beautiful and there is much of it that I haven't seen yet.

Thanks Quietone for such an inspirational and positive post.Awesome. :)
Looking at the poll it is quite disturbing that the balance of happy to be alive and not happy is so close.But in reality I have also found in my own life that with SP it does really pan out like that.When anxiety is at an extreme high, things are going wrong and you are under pressure it is so hard to remain positive about being here.But I look at these low points as valleys in our lives.And on either side of the valley is a mountain.Of course to get to the top of the mountain can at times be a real hard slog, but once you get there the valley is a distant memory and you look at things in a more positive light.And the light at the end of the tunnel is not always an oncoming train :lol: .So yes I'm happy to be alive even if SP makes it hard work.It dosen't have to rule our lives if we don't let it.

I can't answer this. it's a tough question.

There are times that I love living life..there are times I wish I wasn't born.

I love the fact that I am alive because its nice that God considered me worthy of a life.

But I contemplate suicide everyday.

Nope i'm not happy i'm alive.

However i'm not going to be depressed everyday about it, and just get on with it, and enjoy it as much as i can.

i am very happy to be alive however my environment and circumstances often shape how i view myself which leads to low confidence levels ..

i live for music and freedom and by freedom i mean when i am not forced or obliged to be somewhere which generally fits into 9-5, before and after those hours i am free and truly happy.
