How do you all do this?

[Someonemustknowtheanswer]

I cannot cope with day to day life. Working full time year after year to survive, same shit different day. It is all so utterly pointless. How do you drag yourself through the days, weeks, years? I'm single, no DC, no significant money or health worries which I know makes me luckier than most. I have hobbies, I exercise, I have friends and family, I've travelled. But Jesus Christ, I'm done. When does it all end? Does anyone know what I mean?

Thanks to those who've responded. I don't think I'll find my way out of this. I think this is it.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope You are okay Keep Posting

Can you plan weekly treats for yourself, things for you to look forward to? Massages, weekend trips, special meals? Snd monthly rewards - new dress etc?

OP, what you are describing is called anhedonia and it's a classic symptom of depression.
Please see your GP promptly. You need your ADs either increased or changed, and you might benefit from some CBT as well.
I hope you soon improve on better treatment and rediscover a joy for living.

My family emigrated to Australia 15 years ago, they desperately want me to go there to live but I'm too old now.

If you’re feeling like your life needs a re-boot, why are you too old?

Op, you may feel as though you have had a flash of insight and that everyone else is blindly heading for the cliff edge, but I think you would be surprised at how many people do wonder what it’s all for. A lot of creativity comes from questioning the meaning of life. I think it’s always better to express your fundamental feelings in some way - through counselling, writing, art, music - than to endure the torture of feeling like you’re the only person that stops and thinks about these things, while others forge unthinkingly ahead, because in my experience that’s really not the case.

Life is so random. We’re all on different paths to essentially the same destination, and the very fact that we’re here at all is a matter of luck. I suppose my take on it is that we got this opportunity to be in the world, with all its wonders, for the blink of an eye, however it happened, so we might as well try and make the best of it, enjoy it, not overthink it, despite the downside - the ‘thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to’ as Shakespeare put it. I find it comforting that the same questions have been being asked by people for centuries. I hope you find a way to feel better about things.
