I just spent a year in my parents house after getting kicked out the military. I'm going to be here another year. I don't leave the house, I have no friends, I'm getting fatter and fatter, life just feels pointless, I have SI but I won't attempt again. I just don't care. If I died in my sleep, that would be nice.

You know, nobody can make your life meaningful and better but you. I say this is the most caring way. There was a time when I was pretty non-functional and I looked to everybody and everything to 'fix' me but it turned out I had to do the 'work' myself. That was 14 years ago and I am still workin' on it but life is so much better ...

If you don't care why not get out of the house some? not having friends is a hard one, I don't really have many but there are a couple and I have some close family but actually meeting anyone let alone making friends can be pretty difficult.

My life feels rather pointless as well so I can relate to that feeling but just staying inside all the time is certainly not helpful, even just a bit of fresh air can be a good thing....not going to say 'all you need is a healthy diet, exercise and enough sleep.' I never find that to get rid of my depression, but I guess it feels less stagnating if I get out some, even if I just go sit outside of my house if I am really not up to going anywhere at all. Are you in any sort of therapy? or getting any help with the depression or other issues you might have?

Hi Jesusplay,
I am sorry you are going through this. I hope I have some words to comfort you. Many of us here are on the same boat. One thing that is helping me right now (and that maybe it would help you, I do not know): I got rid of Facebook. I used to say that I did not use Facebook to compare myself to others, but I think, I did. Some movies (those stupid ones that portray idealistic lives and very easy problem solving) could be affecting me, so I go rid of them, as well. I try to watch silly comedies that make me laugh, as much as I can. I try not to watch so many news, because they affect me greatly. I do not know, little changes. Maybe they are stupid things and are not useful to you.
Please, notice that you are not alone.
I wish you the best

I have often prayed I would die in my sleep.

Are you seeking any form of treatment?

When I got out of the psych ward I saw a therapist every week for 6 months.

How old are you. The military isn't for everyone but it doesn't mean you can't do anything else.
