To not see the point in life?

[sunshinerays]

This has nothing to do with covid, I felt this way before covid and feel the same now.

I don't understand the point of life. It's repetitive BS. I try and do so many 'exciting' things and still feel it's a pile of crap most of the time.

I want to point out I'm not suicidal for a variety of reasons that I won't go into but I'm questioning how abnormal is it to feel this way or do lots of people feel this way but just pretend otherwise?

I have no reason to feel this way from the outside I have the 'perfect' life and people would be surprised if they knew how I feel.

Every day is - pointless (with the exception of the odd day here and there). Totally pointless in particular Monday to Friday I just see no enjoyment.

I feel like an entitled twat writing this post but have no one to talk to. I've tried counselling and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.

This is less about AIBU and more about reaching out to others I guess to see if anyone else is in similar situation 😓

@Sarahlou63 it will be a temporary fix for a hopefully temporary problem. I hate the idea too I've suffered for over ten years avoiding meds but now feels like the only option.

That's an amazing post.

We each of us have physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs.
IME its the spiritual stuff that gets forgotten about and yet that is the stuff that adds meaning to life. I'm not suggesting you go out and sign up to a religion but maybe start to investigate different philosophies. I have friends who have turned their lives around by becoming more involved with yoga/buddhism etc and discovering something "bigger" than themselves.

Meds are sometimes needed as a bridge to get you back in a state to be able to move forwards. Good luck OP X

How are you doing, OP?

I know what you mean.
There is nothing to look forward to anymore. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful I haven't got covid, despite being immune oppressed but it's taken away slot of my independence and I miss seeing my friends and family.

I agree with you @sunshinerays

We bumble on and I often wonder the purpose of life.

Why are we here.

For some it's personal enjoyment, others for work/career, some devoted to family, others to charity etc

A passion is definitely missing for me

I was like you and on a treadmill of doom. I took myself off it went and had a few babies. I love my life now and enjoy the gentler place of part time work and Kuddiwinks. I take a low dose anti depressant and have no major mood issues now.
