Life has no meaning

I feel like I cant carry on as my life has no meaning. I hate my job and every day feels like a struggle. I get up at the last possible minute for work, today I haven't showered before work or put any make up on and I'm sure I look terrible to my colleagues. I have very few friends and I'll now be off work for 6 days and won't do anything or see anyone. I just don't see the point in life anymore I feel like I just exist.

Talk to your GP and be really honest with them

OP - as the other poster said talk to your GP. You can ring the Samaritans if you need to talk to someone as well.

Is there something you would particularly like to do for a job? Can you look into what it would take to get the training to do that?

You could look at meet-up groups to meet people when you feel able to.

No point going to GP - I'm already on antidepressants and anti anxiety meds and in the waiting list since October for counselling.

Life is tricky and difficult. Maybe try a church? Or a place of worship of your choosing? They can be very hopeful places and services can be uplifting. Just a thought. It's worth a go. Stay strong. Be a force of good in the world. Smile and at a passer by, make someone's life a bit happier for a second and you will feel the love too.

Last night bad, today not great but have come out for a cycle ride to try and clear my head. I think I'm having a bit of a mid life crisis although I'm too young. Keep thinking what am I doing with my life???

Hi Lily, how are you today?

Have you considered it might be the anxiety meds?
I had to come off mine as while they stopped anxiety, they also stopped me feeling excited or happy about anything.
If you are in that state of all your emotions being numbed long term, life does feel pretty shit, or can do. Thats the pay off. They helped get me out of a dangerous put, but i couldnt live like that all the time
