Yes.
Ok, let's assume your whole life is in the toilet, not worth living.
I think that's a fair assumption, given that you asked that question. It's all too hard, and you feel like you're worth nothing.
First of all, you are a worthy human being in your own right. You have the same right to happiness as everyone else. Except that's pretty hard to believe right now, isn't it? It's true though. You may not say so, but I will.
But maybe the Universe is conspiring against you right now. Maybe you see nothing in the future, and an unpleasant past that is best of forgotten.
OK, suppose things never get better. They will of course, but let's assume not.
What about the child whose life you are due to save 34 years from now? Will she die because you gave up? What about the people you interact with every day, some of whom have troubles you can't begin to comprehend? Those who, by your smile, find their burdens lightened?
What about those no longer here, who would have given everything they had for just another year, or month, or day with their children? To give up would be spitting in their faces, for every day, every breath you take is a gift that they were denied.
Is there any point carrying on? Yes, because you have self-respect. You don't really believe that you are garbage, even though you might have been treated like it. You're better than that, and we know it. You do too.
You see, you're not the only one who has felt like this, sometimes enduring it for years, decades even. And you won't be the only one who will find that one day, suddenly you have something like a normal life. One where people love you for who you are. One with flowers, and fragrances, where the world is actually a beautiful place. Maybe even with someone who loves you and cares for you, someone who you can give your heart to. It happens, really, and rather more often than not.
But until that day when you can live for yourself, knowing that you deserve it, try living for others. I'm not saying it's easy, or happy, but it certainly isn't pointless.
Now please accept a Hug from the Zoe of Oz

sweety, its really hard to give any help cause we dont know what you are referring to, your life, or your transition (assuming you are) if you mean your life....there is lots to live for..you may not be able to see that now, but you have to give it time. you will see. Life is like a challenge, and its up to you to take on that challenge and win it. ITS NOT EASY by any means.
but if you end it...you will never know just how GREAT your life can become.
If it is about your Transition..well, I can say that most of us girls go thru this piont sometime in our transition. Its ok and its healthy..though it can be mentaly and sometimes physicaly painful. But this is your body telling you it is time for you to be honest with yourself. YOU must look at every aspect of your transition. all of your mistakes and all of the things you accomplished and are proud of. Make list..all of your resources, be that surgery, money, medications, psychiatry etc. be very, very detailed oriented, but I can tell you that there are ways thru the hardtimes honey, you just have to slow down.
I am sure that we all can help you more if you tell us more detail on whats going on.
We are here for you
Kisses

Is there any point carrying on?
This question really caught my attention because I've been pondering the same question tonight. I'm glad you asked. The fact of the matter is the people around you love you and no matter what you may think, not carrying on would haunt those people forever. We are better than that. Thanks to places like this we can talk to others who feel the same way or have been through what you are feeling to help us. I was feeling the same way until I started going through forums and focused on the positive subjects to see life doesn't have to be so bad. There are people out there who are happy and have great lives that have been diagnosed with GID. My point?? Focus on the positives in this forum when you feel down. People here are great and will help you as well as they can, but you must not focus on the negatives.
Thank you all who respond to these messages it helps more than just the person you are directly writing to.
