Im feeling all drained, no self esteem no desire to live, what is the purpose of living?

Answer 1

Please see a doctor, you sound like you have depression! I suffered from depression for a few years before seeking help. Getting treatment makes the difference between night and day! Nobody shoud live like that, and there is nothing to be ashamed about getting help for depression. Don't listen to the idiot Tom Cruise types who don't believe that depression is a real illness. The brain is a physical organ that sometimes needs medication too. You have my best wishes for getting the help you need.

Answer 2

Remember that the moments pass. Life has its ups and downs. Go to libraries, public places and especially go visit places where children come to play. Just their joy of life will give you a new perspective.

Perhaps visit old folks homes and serve your parents, if you have any and be of use to others, so you will realize that each of us can make a difference to someone.

AND....... do not worry about what others think. They are in the same boat as you, living for a short while on this earth and moving onwards like all who come, who must go, whether you are a king of a pauper.

May the Lord Almighty bless you and give you hope. Connect with Him. He is a wonderful fulfiller of our needs. Ask him!

Answer 3

Your purpose is whatever you want it to be.

Whether you want to prove yourself to the world, or just enjoy every aspect of life, it's up to you. But I can tell you right now that the purpose definitely isnt being a miserable chump and feeling sorry for yourself.
Everyone has problems, you've just gotta learn how to get over them. Make yourself bulletproof. Don't let stupid little things bother you. You need to do things for yourself, not anyone else.

Just empower yourself in your own mind, because the only person you'll EVER need approval from is yourself.

Answer 4

I myself was at a point in my life where I was struggling with the same feelings and questioning what is the point of life? It is very easy to get discouraged and feel the desire to go on, but don't give up just yet. Remember that there is a God that loves you and the point of this life is to prepare for eternity. Jesus said let the tired and weary come to me and I will give them rest. Think about it, we are here only temporarily and we don't know when our time here on earth will end only God knows and says when. Our point in this lifetime is to come to the Lord and accept Jesus into our hearts and obey the Lord's commands. Remember my friend that there is a better life for each one of us that the Lord has prepared for each one waiting for us after death. Read your bible and pray to the Lord that he guides you and shows you His will for Your life. Trust in Him and he will not disappoint you. God Bless.

Answer 5

the purpose of living? hard to answer...i think its to give to other people, the only happiness i feel is when im not thinking about myself. when i think about making someone else happy, suddenly im happy. its hard to get out of the mind frame that the world is just ur problems..its so much bigger than you. if u step outside ur own bubble u'll see. i understand feeling depressed, i kno it sounds lame but when i feel down i talk to this psychiatrist guy and he's actually rly helpful..or talk to friends.
