What you're describing is sounding a little more serious than just being existentialist. Time for some Rescue Remedy, maybe? I don't know what to suggest - getting your spark back isn't always a matter of just wanting it and trying for it, I'm sure you've seen that (or otherwise you'd already have it back, right?)

I am using my bach essences.... but to this point I am rather numb and meh.... I honestly don't know where will to live comes from...

AniManiac-good post-100% agree-yes our thoughts are ours, but they can be so different/influenced by depression. And some of us die waiting for things to change, or sparks to come back or......

I am not passively waiting. I am distracting (by studying for what may or may not be useful for my future.....). So I am not just sitting and waiting for a miracle. However at this state of mind.... I guess I am bit slown down. It's hard to put things in perspective. I am trying to though.... but with being always bit on the pessimist and existentialist site....... it is hard. What if this is it and believing in some higher sense is a delusion? what if all seeking of something is mere distraction to pass the days between being born and death?

Venus-keep in touch as you go through this time.....I know you are that "rugged individual" but there are times that evan the strongest need help. It doesn't take away from your individuality or who you are. The funny thing is.(geting help, sometimes taking meds)....it makes you stronger.

Thing is.... how others can help me? I need to find it in myself. I either will, which I hope I will.... or I will not... I don't even know how such "asking for help" would look like, to be honest.
I guess part of "asking for help" is doing what you are doing re reaching out, writing, asking, clarifying. Maybe just sometimes making the statement, "I need help" can be a step, I'm not great at it myself, so I find it somwhat amusing as I write. I personally think many times that yes, we are just filling space between breaths before one day we quit breathing all togather. It is not particularly a popular thought or evan a real hopeful one, but one at times I feel is accurate. At other times.....I guess it is what is going on around those thoughts that I need to look at. Overall mood and thinking state. I don't know Venus, I am not very smart or anything. I just know I always appreciate when you write and I am hearing your struggle tight now and I just want to at least repeat that you are not alone and hang in there. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself,
Thanks for this!
