Do you have any similarity?

	Does it ever occur to you that you don't know what will keep you happy? You look for happiness ; a breath of fresh air but eventually you can't find it.You don't know what you actually want from life.You search for something but don't know what to search for. It does not occur to anybody around you.Finally a sense of vague existence/ emptiness provokes you to cut yourself and release the pressure/helpness built up inside?

	Like, you will try and do things. The usual things. Keep going. Try and find something to stay afloat. But nothing feels real. Its all for nothing. Your empty inside. Hollow. Hollow life. Normal on the outside but with a vacuum void within. Nothing can fill it. Nothing can bring out the Sun. All in vain. thats what i feel anyway

	Thanks, I am going to try and have a better day tomorow. Life is so f---ed up sometimes, I hate when people don't understand the way I (we) feel. Motivation is hard to come by when you would quite happily never wake up again

	If you pursue happiness, you will never find it. And remember, happiness only real when shared.

	well put Paige! you dont have to put all that bulls**t pressure on yourself to 'find happiness', docs and family bang on about that constantly to me, but I have no effing idea what I want or how to feel better so... I just try not to think like that anymore cos it just makes me angry at myself

	The pressure to "find happiness" is just the last gasp of the dying religious and industrial age. In a therapeutic state, this is just one more innate tactic and excuse to exploit and separate people from reality.

	This is the first forum I have ever been on since I learned of my challenge with BPD. Oddly enough, at this particular moment, I don't feel so lonely. It's as if I were normal for the first time. There will be a silent celebration when I get home this evening.

	If I may respond to the earlier post of shared happiness, - the only reason you feel that you can't share happiness is because you don't feel happy yourself. So I'm wondering how one would go about sharing a non-existent emotion at the most challenging times. If anyone has some input, that would be helpful

	I always have this problem. I try to find happiness and it will come in bouts, then everything just...exists when you don't exist. It's so weird, you feel like everything isn't real, you kind of just exist. Being an entity that's not seen or heard or even present. You don't know what to do, all you know is that you feel completely empty and you don't know where to go or what to do to help it. It's just a world of complete black nothingness. You go around like a zombie without a conscience. At least that's what I feel like.

	I know how you feel. I walk through life but I am not really there. Nothing I used to do I seem to enjoy anymore, nothing new either. I hang out with my friends only to feel and act "normal" but I know am not. Sometimes it feels good to know that you are alike in some trait with people, you bleed.
