There must be something you would miss... even if it's something mundane like drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, or taking a hot shower, or taking a nap in the afternoon with the windows open, or something... I'm not trying to be a cheery asshole and invalidate your feelings either like "all the little things are so great!!" but there must be a couple things you'd miss...

You're lucky you live in such a beautiful place at least (don't know if it's close to you at all but I spent a couple weeks in Haines AK once). I live in the ****ing midwest and it sucks. Maybe not helpful advice but I wish I was in alaska right now. Especially since you're getting a reasonable amount of daylight now (I can imagine the dark winter being pretty rough for depressed people like us). It must be beautiful in AK right about this time as spring starts, plus I would want to hunt for morel mushrooms and eat the **** out of em.

I know nothing I said here is very helpful because I know the feeling you are describing and semi-cheerful crap doesn't help much. At least know there is a reclusive, pathetic **** in the American Midwest who feels similarly...

Take care man, I hope you feel a little better soon... maybe you can see a doctor for SSRI's if you don't already. They never fixed all my problems or made me actually "happy" but they certainly have made life more manageable for me to where I can cope better and feel like what you're describing less often. Thanks for reading my babbling post, I don't talk to many people in real life so sometimes I like to babble to posters on here. Try to enjoy the alaskan spring if you can - most beautiful state in the USA.

I look around at all the things surrounding me and my daily activities. Underneath everything is a deep detachment.

Hugs ((((((( depressedalaskan ))))))) Oh well yeah I feel like that a lot, it's kind of helpful to let that angry disappointment out. I keep telling myself, surely something in the future will change that feeling, please!

- dancing in the rain
- curling up in my bed
- chatting online at PC
But i often wondered why I was stuck here I got lots of people who have died in the past 4 years I think I would not to be sad too much but an angel told me when I was 7-8 when I caught the chicken pox second time that it wasn't my time to come up into heaven. Then sent me back to my body even though I was fighting an extreme serious infection and fever to the point i was hallucinating.

If we are gone will we even have capability to miss anything?
I'm not at all sure for my self what experience will be in the hereafter.
However I've long thought that I would miss our Earth and the beauty thereof.

A Pdoc once asked me to write 10 things I would miss.....she was upset that there were no humans on the list. What did she expect? Ask a stupid question of a depressed person and yer not going to get roses and rainbows for an answer! Gees.

Being depressed strips me of the ability to appreciate nature's beauty. I miss that right now, but if I wasn't here I couldn't miss it because I simply wouldn't "be".

Besides my family, as bad as this sounds, I would miss smoking. I love tobacco in all its forms, but smoking is my favorite. Yeah I know I'm probably going to die of cancer in my 60's, but hey whatever makes me happy, being depressed is bad enough in life. I would love to switch to e-cigarettes as a healthier alternative, but they're not very popular on my island and pretty rare on the whole in The Bahamas. Besides that, I would honestly miss playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R., a video game set in Chernobyl, it's really fun to play and has helped me through some of my most difficult times by taking my mind off my problems. Wishing you the best.
