I feel like I've been stuck, down in a hole, for most of my life.

I keep trying to have a life, but I keep falling down, and I just want to sleep.

I wonder what the point of life is, is it more than appreciating sunsets and flowers? I have little motivation or no motivation.

I feel ill, broken and like I shouldn't be around others when I feel down. People seem to avoid negative people anyhow.

And there's so much guilt on top of feeling so bad.

I want to run but I feel scared and that I have nowhere to go.

I've felt this for as long as I can remember.

The sadness and numbness makes it feel like there isn't a destination. You put it well when you said you "have nowhere to go". How can you feel motivated when you have nowhere to go?

Being sad and stuck isn't something you chose. It isn't a judgement of you as a person. It is part of existing with this depression. Try not to feel the pressure of guilt because you struggle. Guilt is so heavy. You are allowed to feel lost and broken.

When you fall down, don't forget you had motivation to get back up. Please keep trying to find a destination to work towards and anything that sparks motivation. I hope it gets better for you.

Good post. I send respect to all the wonderful people here who are non judgmental and have empathy for others

Part of not being judgmental is not comparing people's pain

I hope you're ok.

Guilt, so heavy. And some people seem to thrive on trying to make others feel more guilty, more broken
