Sometimes, like now, I'm just lethargic all the time. Life seems pointless. I have a lot to live for. But I don't care about anything. It's hard to appreciate it. I'm bored of life which is crazy at my age. I hate myself for feeling this way. It's so selfish. People are sick and pray for to live. And I wish my life would end, in a passive way. If it hurt no one some how.

Existential depression Not much we can do about it but look for distractions and focus on tomorrow.

Hang in there!

I can understand where you are coming from. I did nearly die, and clung to life with all I have. Now I am on the other side of that experience and I am just done with me. I am bored with my own depression.

The universe is so big, sometimes it doesn't make sense why all these problems seem so overwhelming. I keep thinking myself how many humans die, how many animals die, how many bugs die everyday, a single life seem so insignificant in the big picture, why do i even bother. Feels like any accomplishment doesn't matter in the end anyway but nihilism is a trap that way. So life is pointless but at the moment i try to think of it as having a free ticket to watch a movie, might as well watch it to the end anyway after all it is certain that it will end itself.
Thanks for this!

I agree with your post. It's very hard, as we get older, to understand what the meaning of our lives could possibly be.
And when we have depression, it's extra hard to be excited about anything .. or find interest in life like we did as kids. I find it torture-some a lot of the time.
I mean, I keep thinking.... okay I could possibly live for 50 more years, and how on earth am I going to make it to that point when I can barely get out of bed each morning.
So.... I can empathize.

I understand what it feels like to be depressed. I don't think it is selfish to be honest about the feelings. I think seeking help and being a friend to others myself will bring more hope and meaning to my life.
