How To Eat To Live, Not to Die: Simple Scientific Approach To Foods that Prevent and Reverse Disease for Longer Life

Product Information

Hi Stacey, yes I have had lots of counselling and talking therapies. The problem I have is that most of these “therapies” have a “one size fits all” kind of response. But not everyone is the same and that’s why, I think, none of them have really helped me. My parents should never have had kids. They didn’t want kids; it was just what catholic people did in the 1950s. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to overcome who I was/am.

I feel and love this exact comment, minus having a kid. I’m so sorry you have to do the same as I. Just to keep living. It numbs all for a bit. But a bit is sooo much better than not at all. But you are right ❤️,it gets us thru some very very difficult days months years What beautiful, poignant sentiments. Your fear of missing out on something tomorrow (if you died) reminds me of a saying I read: “We are unaware of what sweet miracles may come.” And also, though this has become cliché: “Don’t quit five minutes before your miracle.”Then one night about two weeks after my Mother passed away there was a group of ladies at an Irish pub in Marina del Rey and they happened to be nurses. One of them had eyes and a smile that affected me. She said “you know, you’re not really the guy you’re pretending to be. There’s more of you hiding in there. I know you’re hurting because your mother just died, but that’s no reason to give up on what you could be.” No. Please don’t give up. You are here for a purpose. Just reading your message is helping other people who consider your thoughts help to try and make sense of why we feel this way and so you are my connection to many more. You are worthy of all good in life. Hang in there. But it’s my fault for becoming a father and all that jazz, so I’m obligated to be alive against my will. That’s the lot I’ve given myself I suppose. I feel like I’m so useless and pathetic as a person, but i have family who would care if i went too soon. I should feel glad about that, but when you have a depressive streak nothing seems to help. Ive phoned Samaritans a lit and they sure help (donated to them on my 60th) and ive refrained from calling them as there’s people in greater need.

I am glad that it finally worked out for you. My son has applied to a ton of companies and has had a few interviews but can’t seem to pass even the initial phone interview. He is very discouraged and so am I. He has a lot of skills but freezes up sometimes when he interviews. He and I both struggle with depression and all of these rejections have made it so much worse, He is at the point where he wants to give up. The data is deadly! Almost too scary to put into words. But it’s time to face the fat ugly truth: Suriname like so many of its Caribbean neighbors has joined the fat parade. According to a local newspaper, 30% of the male population between the ages of 15 and 50 are well on their way to eating themselves to death. A recently published WHO/PAHO survey which looks at the risk factors associated with chronic diseases showed that Suriname is facing an obesity epidemic. According to the survey, obesity in Suriname has doubled in the past 35 years. A quarter of the population has high cholesterol and approximately 20 percent suffers from high blood pressure while approximately 15 percent of the population suffers from diabetes. The survey also concluded that the Surinamese population exercises too little and in particular, more than half of Surinamese women fail to do any form of physical exercise. Even scarier is that cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancers, which can be directly linked to obesity and poor lifestyle habits are the cause of 60% of the deaths in Suriname. The Ministry of Health of Suriname estimates that the hospitalization costs for cardiovascular patients is approximately USD1 Million per year while dialysis costs are estimated at USD2 Million per year.Thanks Stacey for taking the time to reply, I’ve been like this for years and I’ve had counselling in the past, I know all the things I need to do to get myself in a better place but I just get so overwhelmed with tiredness, anxiety,depression,guilt, self loathing that I don’t do any of the things I need to do to get myself out of this place. Thanks again 🙏🏻 This article definitely resonates with a lot of people! It’s sad that so many can relate. And yet, as you note, it can be a comfort for people to not be alone and to feel understood by others. In any case, I hope you will get help. Even if you don’t want to take action to end your life, the important thing is that you’re hurting or otherwise unhappy. There are many things you can try to feel better, heal, and like being alive. I have been working since I was 15 1/2 years old and even then I carry three jobs subway Rikers 3M and a place called three ring circus and accessory store I’ve always always worked and paid my own way this is the first time in my entire life that I have I’m in a hole I cannot pay the rent and a building we’ve lived in since 1994 after the Northridge quake I don’t know what to do I don’t have the energy to get up only when I have to work these two shifts I should already have gotten a second job and third job I just don’t it’s different this time I’m in therapy I’m on medication it’s just different I’m tired of struggling I’m so tired I don’t have it in me anymore and all I’ve ever wanted was to be an amazing mom and put my daughter to be proud of me which she is but now how could anybody be proud of what I’ve become in the last two months over two months I don’t even clean the house anymore dishes piled up in kitchen it’s never looked like this I’ve never not been able to pay rent and pay my bills I don’t want to actively kill myself but I am ready to die. I hate what the world has become but I have no power to change it. My mom is 86, she’s failing and declining. I don’t want to be 86.

Thanks for sharing here! I hope in time that you feel better about yourself and also are less alone in the world. I feel exactly the same way. I don’t want to leave everyone in pain or blame, but I want to just pass on and be at peace be it an accident or a disease. I have no hope or ambition for things to change. I want out I am the primary caregiver for my wife. In January 2021 she was diagnosed with AML leukemia, went through a bone marrow transplant and along the way got terrible peripheral nephropathy in both legs and feet. She is always in pain. It is like being on a battlefield and watching a wounded soldier in agony but you can do nothing. I cook, I clean, I do it all. She takes opiods for the pain and it makes her sleepy. You ask if I think of not waking up? Tonight I sit here alone, again, and want to turn the gas stove on without a flame. I am 48 and deaf. I lived alone and no one to talk to. Harsh life, no family no fiancée no children.

See for Yourself

Sherry: the message here is when a door slams shut, a window opens somewhere. If you don’t give up, you’ll most likely find it or it will find you. admit and share with work that I have high functioning anxiety and depression, the bullying stops….. the person who loves me and who I love, no longer loves me any more.

Exactly this. One more day. And another. Day by day is the only option / approach for many of us. All of us? Do you ever have thoughts like these, and you do not want to kill yourself? Many people do. They want their life to end, but they don’t want to end their life. It’s so painful to feel that way. I hope you’ll consider the possibility that, for whatever reason, you’re mistaken about her being mistaken. Before my own Father’s death in 2011 we talked at length about his ‘reasons’ for doing things.. I saw that he considered his own life a failure except for us kids.. and I saw that he was mentally ill.. I forgave him and a great weight was lifted from my heart.. he actually lived to be 89 despite weighing near 300 lbs at 5’8″ and having diabetes.. he never took care of his blood sugar which hovered near 180 at all times and sometimes put him in the hospital..It comes natural to people to want to cheer someone up, even when they’re a stranger, but this echo chamber of “suicide prevention” articles, videos and other pieces of media feels so empty and detached, that for many people it actually makes things worse, as they end up feeling unseen and not understood. There’s no space to actually analyse these thoughts, there’s only the same narrative, repeated hundreds and hundreds of times. It’s hard to find places where it’s possible to freely and properly talk about suicidal thoughts to allow people to at least have some closure. How painful to feel so hopeless about your life and yourself. Are you getting any help? Your negative thoughts about yourself and life aren’t truth; they’re a symptom of a problem. Please consider confiding in someone you trust or calling the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or texting the Crisis Text Line at 741741, or using one of the other resources listed here. That’s where “passive” comes in. People with passive suicidal thoughts don’t want to do anything to make themselves die. They wish it would just happen. I mean, why did you receive so many blessings but I didn’t? Hearing stories like yours just makes people who are lonely feel even less adequate… Sometimes, when life is unbearable, it must be allowed to end. Forcing life on those who do not want life anymore is pretty much the deepest form of disrespect one can give to another.
