Firstly, why are you still alive. What keeps you going? If you have come this far as I see it you must have had something to live for.

Music, films, friends and family. Plus there's just so much I want to know that I haven't learned yet. I'm actually excited about the future.

hey man if your thinking is that far progressed you need to make any dramatic change to see if you can get another perspective, cause you have nothing to lose know what im saying, anything is better than "nothing".

i live for the things i aspire to financialy, for the day when iv kicked this disorder right up its ass completely and for good, for bieng involved in sports and other activities, for volunteering and helping out causes that i feel strongly about, for learning new things and getting to know the world around me in a relaxed state of mind, and for my love of dogs, who i know no matter what, even when im having my roughest time, my dog is loyal and he's there for me :D

whaaaa? 8O who says that you have to be an expert at philosophy to be a philosophical thinker? Ok, fine then. If you take a look at one of wistful's prior postings he already says that different people have different areas of skills that they are better at. I don't think wistful ever implied he is an expert at everything :D

I live for the sake that ya get one life, ya gotta try to live it as well as you can. Ok, so I have SP but at least I can walk, talk and do most things. I've been inspired by many people that have had it a lot worse than me, life that is, not SP. I can get up in the morning, so I do. I'm just thankful that I only suffer from a phobia. It isn't going to kill me, it doesn't cause me physical pain...etc. I'm happy for each day because I know that I will beat this.

good for you lilmiss. some people might take it for granted, but just having that kind of belief in yourself and that motivation that you will beat it is a great thing, and its going to be the corner stone to your success :D

what u live for

I totally agree Tommy,


Personally I live to kick this disorder in the ass and tell it to go take a hike... I am confident that guys like us will confront and destroy this demon that is amongst us all. It loves to take control when it likes. Particularly when you feel you have it under control. Often then it strikes. So what I say is this. Get together with your comrades in arms and make a stand. Whether it be political or legal, just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. No violence though. As much as it enters our minds.

Cheers for now!

I'm with worry. I have personally been slipping into a depression due to paxil withdrawl and friendship issues. But, I am not going to give up- I only have one life to live so I want to try to live it well and fully. What am I afraid of failure? Small pleasures and successes make life worth living even if I don't reach my major goals. Of course big pleasures and great successes are bonuses but not necessities for me to live or be happy.

Sometimes I dont know, like today I really dont know. But usually the hope of a better future where I could live a normal life.

I live for the day that I can move out and live on my own. I live for learning how to cook without burning food. I live to draw even though I have no skill. I live to sing because that is my talent and joy. I live to paint with words though writing. I live to try new things and experiences even with CP and AvPD. My mother always said to do something you enjoy every day, because it could be your last day. I live the life that is given to me!
 
might sound strange... but all i dream of is a singing career. i live for music. i really want to get discovered on youtube.

i also live for my pets. i have a strong connection with animals.

I live for books, i love to read a thousands of books, just to replace my own reality.

And I live for my family, friends and for love.

I actually live for my to-be-daughter, as unhelpful as that is for an example. Before that all I cared about was staying high or drunk as much as possible. Now I just want to make sure she'll be okay and happy.

I live for my love of painting and writing, my family, my pets, my desire and thirst to learn, grow, and travel, and for not knowing what tomorrow will bring :)

I live for the moments of happiness that come my way as a complete surprise. It is an amazing feeling to know only pain for so long and then to feel happiness, to really know what happiness is.

I live to watch the light change at sunrise and sunset, on a coastal headland that I share with only Oystercatchers.

I live to feel the reward for effort of running a marathon, knowing I can go to a place I feel safe from the world, and enjoy the most wonderful rest that I deserve. A blissful rest of healing and reflection.

I live to see the detail and diversity in this beautiful earth, from the impossibly small, to the incredibly large. To get in touch with the cycle of tides, and moon and stars.
 
I'm steadily running out of things to live for....while I can still enjoy hobbies and interests that took my fancy back in the day....years of depression and a lack of funds mean they are no longer a legit reason for me living these days.

The only things that I can honestly say are keeping me going are:
1. my dog,
2. the possibility that things could actually turn around in the future and I find a partner or wealth,
3. The fact I still have my health.

That's a shame mate. Hope things do turn around for you.
