Discussion What is the worst feeling in the world?

[Xeno12481632]

Being useless and weak when your loved ones need you the most, and just do nothing when theyre suffering. A close second is losing someone (not limited to death) and only realising how much you value them afterwards.

If i gotta yap less, regret i guess.

Self-hate, abandonment, the loss of autonomy...

I am currently riding out this feeling of hopelessness, loss, sorrow and abandonment. I suffer from major depressive disorder, PTSD and anxiety and all of them are raging now. The hardest part is knowing that things will never get better.

A sense of impending doom/death anxiety is the worst I can think of. Next to that would be grief.

When your girlfriend of 35 years suddenly dies

Heartbreak, and feeling like everything is going against you.

For me, the worst feeling is when you realize there's no limit to the amount of suffering you can experience in life. Physical, mental, and existential pain. More specifically, I'm referring to existential tribulation, which includes anguish, terror, and despair.

Absolutely this! And the moment you realize how utterly meaningless your own existence is, you've reached point of no return.
