I have a good life, but I'm still really low.

I fret about hurting people. I can't just do what I want to do and say sod other peoples feelings.

If I did I what I want to do for me, walk away from my good life, I would hurt people massively.

But ultimately whats the point of caring about your own feelings, or other peoples feelings?

we all just disappear anyway

Most of us do the best we can and still fail from time to time. I'm sorry you are feeling bad.

I think I can relate. I too have a good job and a wonderful family; people seem to like me and want to spend time with me. I can be so detected at times, then I hurt those around me and I don’t mean too. My wife commented today that I would be happier if she left me, but that is absurd I don’t what her to leave. Somehow just by my actions this morning and I’m not sure why, she got that impression, and was hurt. I feel sometimes if I just went away everybody would be better off including me, but I know in my heart this is not true. These feelings come in spells and I just try to realize it will get better again. I hope it’s the same with you.

It's impossible to go through life without hurting people. And often, our best efforts to avoid hurting people, will hurt them even more.

But why would you want to give up your good life?
