Life seems even more meaningless now (yesterday I spent probably 20 minutes staring into the wall repeating "nothing matters" out loud).
Anyway, regarding the constant existential crisis:
I don't know about you but I'm a thinker. I spend a lot of time in my head thinking about and analysing things/situations/life. I'm also a person who questions everything and I'm a bit of a cynic and a skeptic. I suspect those personality traits aren't really helpful in this situation. Maybe I/we are not depressed. I don't know, but it's quite discouraging to not see the point in living.
There are a lot more things I'd like to say but I'm not sure how to express my thoughts right now so I'll start with this.

Sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend. I clicked on this thread because constant existential crisis pretty much sums up how I feel as well. I can also relate to your cynicism. It all seems to ridiculously cliche. Even when I think of my laundry list of problems I'm both bored and annoyed by how mundane it all is. I sympathize with the feeling of meh.
Truthfully I don't know what to tell you, mostly because I barely know what to tell myself. I guess it's comforting that someone else is having a similar experience. Here's to the suffering thinkers.
