Seriously, just what is the point of existing?
We might exist for an average of 70-80 yrs and then what? We die, not even remembered in the next 70-80 years. It all seems so pointless. People that we love will die eventually, everything that we value will perish, our experiences in life will fall by the wayside and mean nothing to anyone. All the arguing here on AB means nothing in the great scheme of things, all the opinions expressed will mean nothing in a few years time.
Why even bother trying to survive when the end result is death anyway?

//Don't you sleep after you've been drinking?//
Tills, Ive just consumed over 20 units of alcohol, (After a month sober) dont even feel a bit 'drunk'. Might sleep for a few hours but then it all starts again.
Nailit, could you try to take yourself mentally back to how you felt on Wednesday when you described life as precious:

Antidepressants
I have a pooey life. No drugs or anything apart from blood pressure and diabetes, but the brain tumour keeps me indoors where I know my limitations and where to fall.

I still prefer it, though I do get a bit wee'd off at not being able to to do the simplest things at times.

''Antidepressants''
yeah, never thought of that....
Take care, Postdog. I am sorry to hear that. x
Nailit - the reason that you don't feel drunk is because your liver has developed a tolerance due to being exposed to excessive alcohol intake. Soon, your liver will stop being able to tolerate alcohol and then you will be on your way to liver failure. Do you want that?
How can you afford to drink so much if you're not working?
Stop your moaning nailit. Get on with it. The point of life is exactly that, being alive, breathing in and out, laughing, feeling, just indulging in the ocean of existing. Don't look for purpose. The trouble with your thinking is that you dislike the NOW, and yearn for a reason. You are your own reason. Indulge.
Well take them then?

I cant, Ive drank my bill money.
^ You can't say that to someone who has mental health problems. You are not coming from the same mindset
That was to david small
Sop you won't be able to pay your bills. surely that'll just male you feel worse?
Oh dear Nailit. I think you have a few things to get your head around, stop philosophising so much and write a few pros and cons down about your life and think how the hell you are going to pay your bills.
Postdog, your post seems to have gone unnoticed,take care .
You need a purpose in life,Nailit.Something to get up for in the mornings. Take your mind off things. There will probably be older people amongst your neighbours. How about doing some shopping , fixing things or just keeping them company for an hour or so.
Or someone might need a dog walker. Get you out into the fresh air for a bit. There are endless things to do and you might even enjoy yourself.
I noticed, Anne.
You did Tilly I noticed after I posted , sorry.
Every time Nailit gets in this state we all rally round and try and give him help and advice.
He takes no notice and we are all banging our heads against a brick wall.
He wants some sleeping tablets from his GP and that is his only focus at the moment. Nothing we say to try to help is going to make the slightest difference.
