Poll of the Day > How easy or hard would you rate your life so far?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Topic

Other than being naturally intelligent, I've never had an easy go of anything. When things work out, it's largely due to my hard work and perseverance

I live very easily, but occasionally - like today and this month in general, it's like I go full handicapped and can barely feed myself
---

Fair to middling.

Cakewalk, i'm grateful for everything I have.

Depends... healthwise, in the middle. Otherwise easy...

How easy or hard would you rate your life so far?

Let's see:

Pros:
- Healthy apparently
- Young enough
- Have a good close family
- Have lots of free time to do whatever I want
- Not bad looking
- I never give up

Cons
- Have anxiety issues it seems
- Single
- Virgin
- Jobless
- Friendless
- I have bad teeth
- Always broke
- Still living at home
- I lack confidence
- I feel I'm wasting my life
- I'll die one day and that scares the shit out of me
- My sister died back on 06 from cancer she was only 26. This fuels my anxiaty somewhat.
- No matter what I do in order to change the cons I always hit a brick wall

That's all for now but I'd say my life is average. It's very easy for me to list many bad things in my life but in reality they are nothing that can't be changed for the most part. All that really matters is that I keep healthy and never give up trying to change my life for the better. Some folk definitely have it worse and some have it better than I do but anyone could say that so eh.

I agree and feel the same. I also try to do what it takes to earn what I have.

I could be wrong but that brick wall might actually be what makes your personal con list larger than the pro list.

Our fears and self-doubt are our biggest obstacles. I actually believe that every religious text says this and tries to help us overcome it.

Be free, trust yourself and try to live with each other.

Somewhat true but I mean

Jobless - I apply for work and don't get much success. The times I do the jobs don't last long at all. Sometimes due to short contracts others due to the employers messing about.

Single - I talk to girls. Mostly normally but I've even flat out asked girls if they are single before trying to hit on them.

Still I know most the problems in my life can be fixed if I work as when I was working I felt a lot better about things and had more confidence. I wasn't broke, I did things in my days off that made me feel good due to that and I could actually afford to date. Realistically being a unemployed bum isn't appealing to anyone so even if I did hit it off with a girl it would only ever be a one night thing. My main focus is gaining employment so I'll continue knocking on doors until someone answers.

In the spirit of @wwinterj25, I will list the pros and cons of my life.

Pros:
- I just got permission to stop taking medication that was ruining my life
- I am on disability and don't have to work if I don't want to
- I am free to do whatever I want
- I have quit alcohol and cigarettes recently

Cons:
- I am constantly struggling with temptation
- My extended family thinks I'm a pervert and I feel I've failed them
- My close family are struggling and I don't know what I can do
- I think I might already have cancer from the cigarettes

This is mosty me except I'm not actively trying to do anything about it.

It feels very difficult, and like I'm butting against a wall. Whenever I start to feel better about one thing, something else comes along and makes things bad again. It seriously feels like I'm destined to be miserable and alone.

Was feeling pretty suicidal recently again, but things seem to have lined up a bit and have the potential to improve my life somewhat. So I'm gonna ride this out and see what happens from here. Hopefully it won't just fall apart later.
