I have schizoaffective and diabetes, disabled and unable to work. I feel purposeless. I feel like I don't matter. All I can do is get on the computer, eat and sleep. I'm in a rut.
How have you handled this?

funny thing is, I think most of us have been in this spot.. I think all you can do is little by little find things that give you some satisfaction.... what is a job though?..a career? money? possessions?... we're all going to die.. and we can't take these with us... so what exactly do you have? the enjoyment/satisfaction you get in everyday life... so start finding little things that make you smile, laugh... anything.. things that make you feel good or satisfied.... there's a lot you can do just by going online too but.. if you take small steps to step outside.. and try and find little things each day to give you happiness and purpose.. you're breathing, you're living.... you're not in a rut, you're alive.. you can overcome this.
