I can't handle life anymore. It's so empty. There's nothing left to do I keep reaching the point where I just go to bed early. I'm sick of distractions. I'm sick of movies, books, games, walking, and all other distractions. I don't want to be distracted. I want to be happy

Regarding being Happy~
Getting out of our own way, our own head is sometimes the best way to help ourselves.

The happiest I have been in a long time is when I volunteer. I do mine at a hospital. I work in the Intake Lab, where people come to receive their chemo therapy. You would think it is depressing, but no! It is uplifting, inspiring, and makes me grateful that I am not facing this particular pain in life.

The people I meet, the patients, their families & friends who support them, make me so grateful for the opportunity to give a kind word, the little comfort I can provide. It doesn't seem like much, but I always leave feeling better, happy even. It is filling a need for them and fulfilling a need in me.
Check out the website volunteermatch.org in your community to see if there is a place you might donate some time. It might help you more than you can imagine. It might be a step toward a happier place in your head & heart... it works for me.
Best of luck my dear ~

I looked up volunteering opportunities. There's pretty much nothing near me that I can do. I have no car so I can't really drive anywhere.

My newest "hobby" is sitting here on the web feeling bad and thinking of all the stuff i should be doing, but I just don't have it in me to do.

Forget the "Shouds" and "Have To". Do what you feel like doing at that moment in time.
