That's as bluntly as I can put it. Games, films, music, books, shopping, socializing, just about everything seems pointless. I'm find myself tired of life, it all seems so robotic. What's the point in anything if we're all just going to die at the end of the day? I'm sat in my room trying to find something to do to occupy my mind so I don't feel depressed but nothing will suffice.

I don't get how people can happily get on with their daily lives. The typical person's life goes like this: wake up, go to work, finish work, come home, TV, bed, and then repeat that until you end up in a grave. How can people happily live their lives like that? How are they not depressed? It's really getting me down and I don't know what to do.

Can anyone relate to this? I hope it makes sense, I'm not very articulate so might not have explained it clearly enough.

I can relate. Lately, no matter what I try to do, the depression is still there. I'm not giving up hope, though, that there will be an end to my depression.

That's one of the more pronounced symptoms of depression in my opinion. It happens to me on a regular basis too. There are usually just a few things in my day that actually bring me joy and I rely on them to get me through a lot. But I think it's really important we keep trying to enjoy things anyway and every once in a while putting in that effort really pays off. It's those moments that I live for even though they are few and far between.

I can relate, too. I do just what you say, I go to work, go home, lay on the couch, watch TV, go to bed and get up and do it all again. Believe it or not I used to be happy doing this. I had a job I loved, crafts I loved to do in the evening and on weekends, however, I lost the job I loved and the depression has set in and took away any enjoyment I had from my crafts. Unles something changes, I'm just waiting for my body to give up, because I already have.

Although I'm not a professional it seems like you are deeply depressed. I have this as well from time to time. It feels useless and there's no point in life. The point is you will get out of it you will come through it and it is better on the other side. With medication therapy and help and support.from us here at PC you will learn to go for a hike,go for coffee, make friends, be more social and learn what triggers you to be depressed. Consider it a brain reaction to not having the medication your brain needs. Hopefully you'll find the proper medication.
I'm Schizoaffective bipolar type and PTSD so I do understand depression. Be well,and we're here.

Sorry you feel like this, going through the same thing just waiting for an end.

You have to find small things that give you pleasure. I can't say that there HAS to be SOMETHING you enjoy, because I know from experience it is possible to simply not enjoy anything. But there is a chance that you get some amount of pleasure from something.

I don't know, if I were to tell you my honest thoughts about it I totally agree, the only thing I really want to do in this life is have sex. If I can't do that, then I'm going to end it.

But in all reality even pleasure doesn't last, so what do we have really? I'm not much help obviously

No ultimately there is no point in anything and will the last star in the last galaxy in the universe with enough energy please turn the light out. But ipso facto that must mean there is no point in being depressed either. Whats the alternative?. You kill yourself and your atoms go on to make up something else. Or you stay alive and make the best of it. Happiness is an illusion. We should be looking for contentment but Capitalist society is based on fostering an insidious discontent in the populace. Life has lots of little pleasures once you stop looking for happiness. Lots of annoyances and displeasures too but hey you can always comfort yourself ( i do ) with the fact that you're gonna die anyway and, as they say 'tempus fugit'.

I relate as well. My "get me through the day" is a silly video game. I usually play on my lunch hour and before I go to bed. I don't watch tv...too depressing. Today I left the game at home and almost went into an anxiety attack. May seem silly to some but when you rely on that one little thing and it isn't there for you it can make for a really difficult day.

I truly am sorry that you are going through this. You will find that a great number of us are or have been there and can lend a listening ear.
