I asked myself this today, with my toes sinking into the sand as the fog rolled into the beach. All my life, I worked hard to become what I thought I needed to be: successful, loved, respected. I have a college degree, credentials after my name, a gritty job, a handsome boyfriend, fancy dinners monthly, and a new car. So why do I feel so fragmented? I barely know what I want anymore.

Seeing so much death, I try to numb the stress and trauma of my job. I feel held hostage. Held hostage by my soul-crushing career, hypocritical and backstabbing bosses and co-workers. Held hostage by my emotionally abusive boyfriend. A hostage of money, responsibility, spending habits, and debt. This is not what I wanted. Parts of it, yes, but this doesn't make me happy. Last night I sat down and prayed to god to guide me in changing my life. I'm ready to do the work.

Well I had the same experience but from a man's point of view .
2 cars .
A great job .
A girlfriend .
Foreign holidays .
I thought my life would be like this forever .
All went .
I got nervous breakdown.
Ended up in a psyche wards .
Suicidal attempts.
Dark thoughts .
Do you know the moral of the story is .
It's all inside you as well .
The word FOREVER .
That's why you want to end your life .
When everything that you believe gets shattered
Your going through the shattering experience.
Now go to person that you can talk too , or else it will get worse .
