Is there actually a point?

I've posted here before. I know I'm a pain, so please, feel free to just ignore this.

I'm wondering if there is actually a point to anything. How existential, I know. I spend so much time just wanting to be dead, and I don't know if what I'm feeling is depression, or just a knowledge that my life is utterly pointless.

I despise myself. I am worthless (objectively so, I have no job, no children, nothing about me that makes me interesting or worthwhile).

I have severe anxiety; mostly manifesting in social anxiety and agoraphobia. I can't go outside on my own/use the phone/have conversations with people. I am fundamentally useless. My sole goal is to have a job and be a functioning member of society. This seems completely unobtainable as I am unemployable.

I have made so many suicide attempts, and I can't think of a reason not to make another. I just, don't have any hope left. I can envisage the rest of my life, and it is so utterly empty and pointless that I might as well give up now. What am I supposed to do when there is nothing positive in my future? Even if I made some miraculous recovery tomorrow, I would still be unemployable and defunct. I want to be dead but I'm scared of what might be on the other side.

Hi littlegingercat,

We're sorry to hear you're feeling so low. We just wanted to pop by with a link to some resources you might find helpful: www.mumsnet.com/webguide/mental-health.

Also, if you find the phone too much, you can always email [email protected] instead.

We do hope things somehow get easier for you soon.
