Why is life precious
Guys, why do we value life? What keeps you going despite misery? I feel like I should just give up.

Life is beautiful when you take a moment to really look around .. mental health can take happiness from us momentarily but nothing is forever . Find your strength ! Ocd makes our world very small .. so it’s very easy to loose interest in life but do we have to give ocd what it wants ? I hope you find some relief .. & I have these same thoughts time to time & I always question it .. but life is so beautiful . & getting involve with nature & happy peaceful hobbies can really help ! You got this .. take back your power 🙏

I’m sorry for the corny answer but family, friends, coworkers, pets, even strangers. You never know when an interaction will warm your day. Or stimulate your interests. Which that goes for you as well. You’re likely a positive influence in someone else’s life in ways you can’t imagine.

I’m going to give a more honest answer… which is I don’t know. I don’t believe that life is particularly better than death or non-existing. Life is only what you make of it. You can do absolutely anything you want. And you can value anything you want. You are going to die anyway. Why not look around a bit and see what could happen until then rather than giving up now. Misery, anxiety, fear, it’s all just an illusion that some of us struggle with more. But in all actuality, none of this shit matters

A meaning crisis
I’m currently reading existential psychotherapy by Irvin yalom. In his chapter.. “meaninglessness” the first paragraph he describes about a man who ended his life because he truly was overwhelmed with the “meaninglessness of life” and how doing absolutely anything was meaningless because it ended it death. The questions drove him insane and he committed. This was stated in this book and he also stated multiple people did end there life’s during an overwhelming meaning crisis. Please help. If anyone has been through this please reach out. I have stopped going to my nursing shifts. I’ve lost all hope. I believe I’m going through a horrible existential crisis. I’ve suffered from ocd my whole life but I think this might not be existential ocd. I can’t seem to create meaning in my life. I can’t seem to live without us having an inherent meaning. No answers or anything is helping. I’m really struggling. Please.

Please help existential ocd
Existential ocd is deeply affecting me. A lot of people say death is equally as meaningless, I do agree, however, if life is mostly suffering and anxiety to me, then death is not as equally meaningless. It seems logical. I have severe ocd and my life is just suffering, so if life is meaningless, it’s logical for me to not see a reason to keep going. I’m not necessarily depressed. Just incredibly aware of how pointless this all is? There’s no end goal to any of this. It baffles me of how people can care about money and materialistic things, because what’s the point? You’ll die in the end and nothing will matter. ****please please please do not tell me to get into religion I’m begging you****
