My NEVER-ENDING EXISTENTIAL CRISIS rant.

It started in my early teens but now it took over my life. I even quit my job as a trainee solicitor, about a year ago or so because I was so sick of it. I mean, why bother? Life is so boring, unexciting, we are specs of dust in the universe. Bye bye career, hello debts. Unsurprisingly, life isn't much better now. 'Depression', 'anxiety', inability to get over things, emotional numbness, sedatives almost 24/7. My partner could disappear right now - would I care? No. Not even my occasional euphoric moods are worth it anymore. I'm so bored. So, so bored but at the same I'm too tired to actually live and change something. No, antidepressants didn't work, they did the opposite.

Long story short - I kind of want to die but I can't really do it ......... So no, it's not a 'wanna die' post, please don't remove it mods. Thaaank you :h:

Yep. Antidepressants didn't work. When I went to see a psychiatrist, I was misdiagnosed. So naturally, I gave up on the idea. I don't think there's anything wrong with me mentally, actually. I think I'm just realistic about things.

Sorry to hear. What are your plans for the future? You have to find a way to fight through this. :smile:

Is your partner aware of this?

I don't actually have any plans. I don't really want anything anymore, I don't have any passions or dreams, I just don't care to be honest. Oh and yeah, my partner supports me financially but gave up on trying to 'fix' me.

I really do think you should consider visiting a new doctor. Find someone who can listen to you and help you out. :smile:

They can't do anything if there's nothing wrong with me, though. I mean, no drug could ever make things seem less pointless, because I see them for what they really are.

I don't know why... Well considering that I don't work now, I just do whatever I want 24/7 but that doesn't really help.

Ah I see. But there are thousands of non-depressed vegetarians out there so it can't be that. I'm pretty sure I'd feel even worse if I had to eat poor animals.
