As in, wanting to cease living your current life and not have any more responsibilities or problems, and essentially end your session as a living human being, but without actually dying?

    Hey, I think I might to be able to provide some into this insight of yours but before doing so I must let you know that I am not a medical professional and I highly advise you to seek help. Everyone feels like this at some point but when feeling like this it is about what you do or don’t do. That being said here is a site that might help you.

    I can’t say I know exactly how you feel because I’m not you however what I can do is reflect upon what you said. For me I have felt as if life feels like Groundhog Day sometimes.

    Everything is in a loop for better or worse and it seems as if the next day will be more of the same. That’s how I used to feel, however sometimes one needs to slow down and focus on the little things. It is quite easy to get stuck in an existential crisis, everyone does and that’s okay. The thing that matters or at least mattered to me is how I moved forward.

    I’ll be honest, I am quite the nihilist and in some ways see life as a pointless journey. However, there is another side to it. Knowing that there might not be any point to anything is quite liberating. I am free to do as I please and take control of my life without being concerned about what others may think or how I am perceived.

    Ask yourself: are you burned out or do you need a change in your life? Those are two important things to consider. What you say is a bit of a paradox because you can’t have one without the other. I too wish there was a pause button on life, but the only pause I get is when I sleep, and I don’t do much of that.

    If you can, get a pen and paper and write down your concerns. Then categorize them and look at one at a time. Identify each thing to try and find your center so you don’t feel trapped. Maybe mix things up if you are in a rut.

    Just remember, we are all here for you. Even if we aren’t all medical experts, we are more than willing to listen and talk. Because in this world, most people just want to talk about their problems and not listen to the issues and struggles of others. So you are in the right place. If you need anything at all, PM one of our mods or make a post and we will be here for you!
