Do you ever think about life—but not the things we do but what we really mean and think about how useless the world is? When you die you won't have done anything that will actually change the world from it's ways so there really wasn't any really for you're existence in the first place. The pain you feel everyday with everyday things doesn't matter anymore, because you don't matter, and therefore nothing you do matters. So what is the point?

Hello Embodiment: I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral.

There is a type of depression that is referred to as "existential depression". Perhaps you're familiar with the concept? Here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives on the subject:

What is Existential Depression?

Coping with Existential Depression

Existential Despair: A Deeper Cause of Human Anxiety

15 Existential Questions that Could Improve Mental Health | NLP Discoveries

Ducking Existential Questions Linked To Mental Health Issues

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
Thanks for this!

I've thought about that non-stop for a while now. Looking into the articles Skeezyks provided might be of some benefit to you. I hope this place can help.
