you may feel 'pointless' cause your body is suffering from malnutrition. - suppose you're missing vitamin K (or whatever - B12, C - whatever) - and that affects mood.
your life feels pointless cause maybe your nutrition is so poor your brain can't think straight and now is like in 'zombie' mode.
i'm not saying that if you start eating cheerios your outlook on life will be brighter - but until you verify your body is metabolizing correctly and what you're eating is supplying your brain w/ all the nutrition it needs to feel comfortable, you don't know.
(its just a suggestion and i'm not a nutritionist or anything like that)

No I have not and I kind of doubt I could afford to, at the moment just figuring out how to get groceries with my budget and figuring out things to make that would sit well...though sometimes its too much stress/anxiety/ptsd related on edge feelings and such that I think is a large part of the issue.
Also I have had depression and anxiety for quite a while without too much digestive issues...though I was a bit picky as a child in the sense I thought sugary breakfast cereal they advertised on t.v was gross also fast food is just really gross...but I didn't really so much digestive crap till the PTSD. So I do not think malnutrition is the cause, I think more being burnt out on having PTSD, nowhere to go in life and such.
Also my nutrition is not that poor just lacking in amount sometimes, I don't eat fast food...avoid processed food where I can and generally eat pretty healthy(because most unhealthy is gross to me), just not quite enough a lot of the time due to having no appetite due to the anxiety/on edgeness the PTSD causes...and aside from getting underweight any time I've gotten a check up or whatver my physical health is fine....last I was in the psych ward part of a hospital they thought i might have had a rather high liver enzyme which may have pointed to some liver issue, but turns out it was nothing of concern...so I think physical issues have been more or less ruled out as far as being the cause of my problems.
It feels pointless because I grauated highschool, dropped out of college...had to apply for SSI at a young age and don't feel I really have a whole lot to look forward to aside from continuing misery...don't see how life in general can go up hill because even if through some miracle I was cured of my mental illnesses I am still stuck in this horrendous society....and I am pretty low on the economic scale so it would still not be likely I'd be pulling myself too far out of poverty even if I could manage a couple part time jobs.
