31 y/o dude, not really suicidal but i see no point in living. i have nothing i want to accomplish, no goals in life whatsoever. i have a shitty job, but for an uneducated retard like me it pays pretty good (baout 2.5 times the minimum wage where i currently live) so its not that bad. no social skills to speak of. dont feel a need to socialise anyways. i have a place to live, enough money to get by and save quite a bit. got some close friends whom i neglect more and more, got a pretty good family too. and everyday i wake up and i wonder why the fuck do i even get up from bed. why do you? when i think about it, if i knew for sure that my family/friends wouldnt be traumatized by this, i would off myself right now without thinking 1 second about it, not because life is so hard on me, but because its a fucking drag and nothing more

Just get a hobby m8

Tried that, get bored of anything really fast. Nothing sticks to me for more than a moment

>>17366883
Really? What do you do during your free time?
>>
>>17366883
I feel the same way. It's frustrating, you think there'd be something that would hold my attention, even if it was as simple as watching movies or vidya or whatever. But no, everything is boring. (Yes, I'm depressed and getting treated for it.)
>>
>>17366892
Tryin to learn to code atm. Some sporadic social activities but not much of it. When i dont feel like doing anything i just watch some crap or play vidya. Keep in mind that i work about 70hours a week so free time is scarce

This.
(Not OP)

>>17366904
Yep, i know the feeling.. .dunno if im depressed, never went to see a specialist. Id like to believe i can sort my problems on my own (almost sure its a big mistake on my part tho)
>>
>>17366915
Well, not being interested in anything can be a symptom of depression. You could look into it. Before I started taking an antidepressant I felt even worse.

20y/o male here.
I sort of feel the same, I feel like I'm finished with life already, I've been through some shit, done pretty much everything I can think of, not much left here for me, I have few true friends and a dying family, only thing left now is to save up for a house, get married and then just ride it all out.
I know I'm capable of doing it, I think I know what it would feel like and to me the struggle seems barely worth it.
All I have is skateboarding and I'm thinking about quitting my job and going all out for it, if that fails I'll just end myself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I suppose.

Can't get laid if I'm dead

Actually you can.

I have a family and friends. Therefore I can't kill myself. If it weren't for them, then I'd probably mentally torture myself to the point where I'd do it. I'd go to a quiet place to end it. Somewhere in a wood perhaps; surrounded by nature.

What keeps me going is the goals I set. Right now I'm trying to become self-employed, get very fit and improve my football (divegrass) ability. Sometimes I pause and forget the point of it all, but I refuse to be beaten in a personal challenge. Despite its hardships, there are many things I want to achieve in this world. Also, something important I read from a sports psychologist is that it's much better to motivate yourself by moving towards the positive - I can be muscular and attractive - rather than avoiding the negative - I don't want to be fat.

Overall I'd say the best cures for this kind of feeling seem to be things that level out your mood. These are, unsurprisingly, challenging physical activity, a healthy diet, socialising, improving yourself and so on. Things that definitely do not work are things that destabilise your mood. By this I mean drugs (uppers and downers), alcohol, fast food and the like. I took MDMA a couple of nights ago and today I really hoped for the sweet release of death.

I would start by setting short term goals, maybe related to the things I mentioned above. Find some things other people have done that impress you, and try to emulate them. Think about what you want your life to be like, and make steps towards it. Bear in mind I'm nearly 10 years younger than you, so wtf do I know.

>i have nothing i want to accomplish, no goals in life whatsoever.
Well, that's the difference between us.

24 y/o dude here. I want to publish novels, have adaptions in other media for them, positively impact the world with my ideas, do cheeky things to brighten the lives of the few people I don't feel completely ambivalent about, invest money in causes I believe in, learn how to produce music. Oh and travel around the world while doing drugs, that shit is nice too.

All silly, unrealistic stuff that will make everybody over 15 facepalm but who cares? It's fucking fun to attempt something crazy big and be challenged to improve every day; and even if I succeed with a small part of it, that'd be fine by me. The idea that I can positively affect the life of someone else, no matter how minuscule, is quite calming ... and if I happen to fail accomplishing a single thing till I am dead, well, who cares? A corpse certainly won't.

Already jumping to the last part sounds dumb, life is a playground, why being the kid who sits in the corner while the others are playing?
