    Only when I'm sleeping. And it's when I'm listening Cole. Which happen very often.

    No I'm not. I never talk about my problems because I hate to look like an emo but who cares I'm just a nickname here so..
    I cant find a job and I'm almost 21. I think I'm going to hang myself soon because I'm becoming way more cynical though the years and the only thing that motivates me is people who died young, famous or not they make me feel lucky to be alive. There is more but that's the summary.

    Dude. probably no one here is happy because nobody ended their suffering. Real happiness = Absence of suffering.

    If you think pleasure from getting a new job or having a girlfriend is everything in life, you only have experienced 1% of what life has to offer. Maybe not even that. I dont even know how it is to be like and i got experience on this.

    I once felt deep peace from meditating.

    I remember playing hitman and "failing" killing a target like 5 times, in all those 5 times i was still at peace (peace is not based on circumstances), only in the 6th attempt i felt something, it was a thought, something negative but then i continued to not pay attention to that thought and i was still at peace. I was like at peace till I went to sleep, llike 3 hours. Then I woke up and was no longer at peace.


    And now im still trying to get to that state, thats why im leaving pills.

    Mate that is sad to hear but you're still so young. Please try to talk to someone. Whether it be family, close friends or a professional, it's best to not bottle these thoughts to yourself and to try to get support around yourself. Talk about things and set out a plan with your support network. A job or no job is not the be all and end all, it's not something to k--- yourself over.

    Listen to what Joel said if you really want to be at peace, accept your feelings. Then after a while you will feel peace. Next maybe next day, it will have dissapeared, thats ok, just keep on paying no attention to the thoughts.

    Our messages are totally different. Ignoring it doesn't help him because his feelings/issues have come to ahead to the point where he's suicidal. He needs support not ignorance of his problems. Ignorance isn't bliss in this situation mate.

    He needs support and to find ways to deal/alleviate his worries.

    I was suicidal for about half a decade and pretty much told myself this is r-----ed and I'm going to get a grip of myself.

    I get what Yeezy is saying and it's kinda hard to explain but if you take care of your problems but also ignore the fact that they're problems you'll be much happier. And if you're in a situation where you can't fix your problem pretend it doesn't exist.

    His emotions come from resistance to what it is. His resistance to his own emotions. His resistance to his circumstances.

    AAAALLL suffering comes from thoughts. Dont you notice there is ALWAYS a thought when you are suffering and that you keep thinking it? And if it was the circumstance how come when he is distracted (not thinking about them) he doesnt suffer?

    And also if it was the circumstances, everyone would suffer with same emotions, the same intensity and all the time in that circumstance too but if we are saying he lives with his ex. Does that factually create suffering? Arent they people that like living with their exes?

    I just hope everyone can see the truth

    How the f--- you supposed to do that if your problem consumes you and involves basically everyone who’s ever been in your life?

    Anyways my answer is no definitely not, at maybe the worst spot I’ve been in my life in terms of happiness.

    Don't let it consume you, calmly look for any solutions and if there seems to be none don't view it as a problem view it as something that just exists.

    Like when someone in your family dies you shouldn't get sad just accept that it was their time to go, take everything with that mindset.

    I've found peace and happiness in my life. When I've lost my 2 day-one friends in 1,5 year span I was in terrible physical condition, like I was really really low, but I'm okay now. I have a beautiful girlfriend, good paying job, my own place to live and everything's going great. I stopped drinking, I make music whenever I can and It's all good, it's alright. I can say I'm happy. :emoji_raised_hands:

    I do see your viewpoints somewhat but these things are a lot more complex that simply ignoring the issues won't magically make things go away/better.

    For some individuals it may work, but not everyone is built like that.

    Man, happiness is not defined by finding a job or having a wage. It's in loving yourself: you can only do it in changing your perception of yourself and in focusing in the present and be better every minute.
    When you will love you, you'll listen to J.Cole and you'll find peace in sleep.
