right now i feel like i don't care for life at all. i don't see the purpose of my own existence, and i don't feel like i'm capable of even the most basic human functions. i can't even talk to people. i'm ready to give up.

Well, you're ****ed, so don't try to reason with yourself too much at the minute as that doesn't even work too well when you're sober.

Comments like this are narrow-minded and do not help anyone in the slightest. You probably made yourself feel stronger by saying it though, well done.


To me, life is all about the experiences; If we had no emotions we probably would all have suicided by now. You have to find your own reasons for living, there's plenty out there if you look. I've been in similar situations before and as the gay support group says "it gets better". And remember not to take life too seriously... I say that because all of this "I don't believe in myself" patter is silly because none of it matters. You don't need to be amazing or even good at anything. Just try to be who you want to be.

Also, switch to a more friendly recreational drug that isn't alcohol.
 
If your feeling worthless and have feel you have no purpose in life I would suggest volunteering some of your spare time. Go help others less fortunate than yourself, be it homeless folk or whatever.

I volunteered for a search and rescue group years ago and it was a real eye opener. It mainly dealt with suicide prevention but we also had to pull bodies from a river so it wasn't nice. In saying that we made a massive difference to those we saved and to the families that would never have had a body to bury if it wasn't for us.

BTW 2 of the people we stopped from jumping off a bridge are now volunteers of the same organisation. If something like that doesn't give you purpose I dont know what will m8.

Chin up :)

Alcohol is not the problem here. Depression is. OP get to your doctors and tell them how you feel, the pills you get will give you a leg up but ultimately it's up to you to find meaning for your life.

Good luck.
 
Foxeye, alcohol isn't the best thing when you're feeling down. Go and take a shower, sleep it off and post a new thread tomorrow morning.

Things will pick up, they always will :). Good luck, the only way is up! PS if you'd like to talk on steam I've trust mailed you.
 
If I was in your shoes I would probably go traveling. You can't be sick of the world until you've seen it, sure you feel worthless so go volunteer to build a school or something in Africa. I have a mate who went and did a rammed earth project in the Gambia, said it was amazing helping whole villages. Feel worthless, go do something worthwhile.
 
Alcohol is a depressant so you should ideally stop drinking if your feeling like that. Go to bed and have an early night and pop and see the doctors on monday. Maybe they can provide someone for you to talk too to help you work through your problems.

I suffer from low mood, but last couple of months ive been feeling better. Just got to get through the rough patch
 
Not much advice I can give apart from suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Things do get better but you have to make them better.
 
You're not alone OP, pretty much summed up exactly how I've been feeling over the last year or so! I so often think **** it, I'm gonna live out the rest of my days in the wilderness somewhere away from all the bs :o
 
Definitely go to your GP on Monday if this is how you feel. If you're as bad as you come across on here then you should also consider phoning the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90.

Also, depression is a serious illness which lacks a great deal of understanding and sympathy from the general public. Anyone (Derek W) who can read the opening post and state "pathetic" needs to grow up and do some research on mental illness and psychological disorders.
 
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
