Giving up on life

Honestly is it wasn't for my Girlfriend and some of my mates I think I have honestly come to a point of my life that I don't want to live anymore. Every day is a constant struggle, living in severe pain, not sleeping, Still no closer to getting any answer.

If I think back 10 months ago my life was perfect, I had a fat bank account, business was going well, life was just epic.

So for all those guys that take it for granted, don't..It can change at any moment.

Just needed to vent a bit.
 
Ai - shame bro.I wish I knew what to say - You've been to everyone you possibly can? None of the doctors you've been to, in their infinite wisdom, can point you in the right direction?
 
Damn dude, I feel for you. I can only hope that you get your answers soon, and that things get better and you can look back on this as a really bad year

In this country it's always 3rd world diagnosis. Somewhere out there outside of our borders are real answers but the solution is a costly exercise to chase.

Life will always throw the most fscked up of curve balls our way and hurdles to leap through, with which if we have managed to survive up to this point in our lives even through all of the crap we deal with on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. We sure as hell can pretty much over come anything that steps in our way.

We fight every day with a new struggle, and people just need to stop and think what else can life throw at us that we haven't already taken head on.

I say Medically Joker should save up what he can, take all his money and go seek a solution overseas where you can be looked at from a medical science aspect to have solutions rather than just opinions from doctors who are just as gatvol in this current environment as we are.
 
Joker, hang in there dude. I went through some stuff myself a few years ago, and I can most certainly tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even if that tunnel is dark and long, trust me, the light is worth the fight. Stay strong!! Hope you get well soon!!

You've had your binoculars on the wrong way :p
 
Joker,
Sterkte.
Niemand weet waar deur jy persoonlik gaan nie. Wees net sterk en bid vir hulp van bo.
Keep smiling :)
 
Mr Joker, i am concerned for you and you're health man. Perhaps along side trying to get this diagnosed you should be seeing a therapist or counselor as well?

I am sure you are taking a beating mentally as well as physically, go speak to someone dude.

My thoughts & prayers are with ya!
 
Ai boet, this is really sad to hear, however I know you've been feeling this way for quite some time. Life's not always great... That saying "we've all got our crosses to bear" can't get any nearer to the truth. And it never gets easier, but there's always a reward at the end of it all.

As always, I'll be there if you ever wanted to talk about anything at all, friend.

Stay strong and never give up!! There's only one of you in this world and I'm sure there's many, many people who wants you around!

Really sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time, Joker. My situation differs slightly from yours, but I do understand how you feel. I've suffered various medical conditions for years now, and have been prodded, poked and medicated to no avail. I can't eat properly which means I can't function (due to pain/fatigue). Some days it's so bad that I can hardly get out of bed. Last year, my illness was getting the better of me and I chose to take my provident fund and "retire", however, my situation hasn't improved and there's no way I can work in my current state. The only things keeping me going are my loving/supportive husband, my two beautiful kitties and my Mom. One thing that keeps me strong is my brother, who has terminal Lymphoma, who maintains an incredibly positive outlook for someone whos been ill for so long! There IS an answer for us out there. Some of us have to look harder than others, but we'll find it eventually. The other posters have made some very valid points: don't give up — and if you ever need support or to vent, there are many people in the community who are here for you.

Joker, I just want to encourage you to keep soldiering on and over come this. Find the strength within to get through the hard times, sometimes you have to look at situations as if you were in a fight with a physical opponent so that your desire to F#!k this thing up will not fade away.

You can go left, you can go right, you can go forward, but you will NOT go backwards.
 
Sorry to hear that my friend.

Constant pain is a bummer. Had that & the doctors playing Lets Guess (tm) for a while too. I'd offer some advice, but I don't think thats the intent of this thread, so let me say instead:

I sincerely hope you can overcome this & fight your way back to a position similar to that 10 months ago. Sterkte.
 
I know all about doctors and they don't really have an answer. My grandad lived in pain for a long time, and the doctors just dismissed it. He died of cancer. My aunt is in pain every day and their solution is to just give her meds and shock treatment. The fact is that even if you went overseas to a doc, like sycogrim suggested, keep in mind my aunt lives in the "first world" and she hasn't gotten anywhere.

I know that might not sound all that encouraging. What I'm trying to say is that doctors, for all their wisdom, often have just about as good an idea of what is wrong with you as anyone else. It's not your fault. Remember that. They are a bunch of quacks. Maybe I'm just bitter.

I don't know you that well, or even at all, but I hear you're a good guy, so I hope you get better. You need to help me with upgrading my PC when you do, and you will (get better)! :)
 
I have given up many a time - but I continue going on...
I guess... the thought of knowing that giving up isn't really an option makes me reluctant to contemplate giving up in the first place - not to mention - others under worse circumstances persevering; regardless of what life throws their way.
 
its so cool to see a community that cares. the peeps on MYGG forums are very cool and i got to know a few in person.

I know the feeling bro... but the best thing in to remember is that you know people are there for you.

It shows that humanity is still alive, despite how cold and cruel this world can be.
Always knowing that there's at least someone who cares.
