I find it quite interesting when I hear people talk about going to Africa to save lives. Don't you think your country needs a saviour too? What makes you think African lives are in danger? Maybe you should consider starting from your place of origin. Go feed the many homeless people out there on the street and donate to children living with cancer, go out there in your community and do

Guess I'm the first for the hated year of 2011. Like a lot of other folks here, I searched 'tired of life' on the net. It amazes me how many of us there out there… I wonder how many of us are still left…

I'm 36, probably right in the middle of the WTF?! demographic. I was pretty young when I started seeing things as they are, and the older I got, the more I learned how

Like most posters here, I arrived here after googling "tired of life"
Firstly, I am amazed that so many others have googled the same term. I'm not sure what I expected to get as a result, but I am pleased that it brought me here.

I have little reason to feel the way I do. I'm 62, and married 15 years to a lovely woman, and have 3 grown stepchildren, who are all

It's been about seven months since the last comment. Is life better? Definitely. I changed jobs and got on a new learning curve. Even though it pays about 60% of the former, I like it twice as well, so overall, that puts me ahead in "life points."

Sure, there's a sense of meaningless about it all still, but it's not as overpowering. I'm starting up a

Another googler. Startled relieved saddened by the comments that reflect so much of how I feel. The underlying sense of boredom, ennui - it's a feeling that's always been there for me. I don't feel depressed, more about a feeling of abject despondency. As if somehow my consciousness was awakened to the true mundanity of life - yet most others remained plugged into the matrix - consume

2009-08-09T16:42:31.007-07:00

I'm tired of life. I've made some poor choices. I've also had to deal with things beyond my control. I just hope there is a better existance after life as we know it. Or nothingness... as opposed to eternal punishment dished out from a vengeful God. But hey, that's another story.

2009-07-15T22:20:39.294-07:00

Well I agree totally with keeping the language friendly. So many people need to find a place to vent and it feels good - in a way -to know that others share the same feelings. Reading the comments has made me feel like less of a freak because I am so miserable. I wish I could find a way to like my life and all the things/people in it... but anger, resentment, frustration, and insecurity seem to

Are you serious? You are the one who ignited this complaint session with you being "tired of life"

Part of my problems really started around 4 yrs old when I started going to day cares and schools. My mom told me I was the happiest kid ever until I started school. I had to go to school with other messed up people's messed up kids under the supervision of messed up teachers, facilitators, or whatever you want to call them.

I only remember the times when I started having

2009-06-09T06:39:50.847-07:00

What would be the point of going to school if they only taught you things you already know. How much fun would a quiz be if they told you the answer before the question. Why bother!
Life is the reason.
Turn this feeling into a positive.
Ok, so you are fed up of life and would be happy to die. In that case use it, challenge it, because if this is true then you have nothing to lose

ohhhhhhhh. i just feel like i want to scream... just one good time, really loud... so hard i would just have to fall down and cry afterward. sad thing is i can't even get away from my life long enough to do that much. i have thought for months about a place i could go and scream, and there is nowhere and no time. i feel stuck. i have so much to be thankful for but i can't convince myself to

Male in late 40s.

I never thought it would come to this. I enjoyed life in so many ways: my family, my hobbies, my church, my friendships, even humanitarian work. I have a Masters degree but I feel like I am useless. I rather like the title, "mid-life crisis" because it implies an end, but the feelings have been growing deeper over the last decade. God, if he exists, is deathly

Are these the descendants of the pilgrim fathers talking? Citizens of the great USA? I tapped 'tired of life' on google hoping to read about the experiences of other immigrants because i was at my wits end. Separated from family for many years because of stupid immigrant laws. Found myself in another foreign land (not US)with no job, no family and a new language and culture to cope with.

2009-05-03T22:12:00.000-07:00

So tired. Been skipping work for almost two weeks now without notice - don't know if I still have my job. I just feel so tired. I've lost heart in everything I've been doing for the last couple of years.

Don't know what to do in this life anymore.

Aaa, well. Life. Don't worry about it too much. It will take care of you, eventually. One way only though, not the other.

Basicly I need some war to fulfil my destiny. Can take the bullet for some brainless fucktard as long as he/she has some life in him/her. But the wars these days, meh. But you get the idea. Mayby I am just build berserk, to fight for something, or mayby I just made

Reading this blog has made me feel so much better. Also feeling so tired of life and at 30 really wishing that i could end this shit in a second.

But the reality is that life has been quite fair to me , i have been educated up to masters degree. 8 years ago i choose a dream career but now in the job it is as boring as hell and worse part is my employers say im too quiet and not too

2009-04-07T11:21:00.000-07:00

I dropped out of society and stayed home raising my sons for ten years. I became a kid again myself and enjoyed a second childhood. I was like peter pan living in a kid`s world. A few months back my wife kicked me out, essentially taking away everything. Now I am wondering what to do next. My youngest son misses me terribly. We were best friends.

To the university student: Yes! Do it! Volunteer, travel... have adventure while you can. I know it sounds cliche, but do it while you can. I'm the 50-year-old from two posts up. Once you're older and held fast into a lifestyle and a pattern you cannot escape, your chance for doing things out of the ordinary becomes slim. You don't have to finish college in 4 years. I took 5 and a half, and I

I too, have found this site by typing in "tired of life" on google.

3 more years of university to go, and I don't know if I'll make it.

I thought about volunteering in different parts of the world this summer, maybe it'll give me a different outlook on things.

And here's a movie called "Last Life in the Universe"(I watched all the parts on youtube) for those who are

20 year old male here... it has always been a dream of mine to hibernate, wake up in a few years or a few decades when things are better. I realize more and more though that life doesn't get better with time, it just continues as an interminable nightmare.
I never got to experience positive aspects of life; I was overweight up through high school and painfully aware of it making me less than

I am 60 years old and have been working since the age of 15. I am in my second marriage of 20 plus years to a totally useless, non functional woman. No holding, no kissing, no intimacy...
My grown children seldom, if ever communicate with me. I am tired of the constant fight to provide, contribute, and pay those BILLS!
I am ready to call it quits!

2009-03-23T13:00:00.000-07:00

I'm 50 years old, and I feel 100. I have a wonderful wife and two fantastic little girls, but in my heart I feel so .... well, tired is the only way to say it, I guess. Tired of my droning, useless existence. I've worked 20 years for the same company, and every day is a mind-numbingly boring experience. Will it ever get better? I feel as if I am hanging by a thread. I did try suicide about 8
