What should i live for?

Question

I just dont know what to do anymore, everything just seems boring. I know i can make millions, i just dont want to. I know i can be happy, but i just want to sleep. I dont want any of this life anymore. And dont tell me to get help, cause ive tried, and they, yes they, have failed.

I can imagine everything except death, it is the only thing that intrests me now.

I have lived for my fam and friends, but they just abondon me when i need them most.

Answer 1

The thing that kept me going was the thought of my mother putting me in the ground. I am not so selfish that I would put her through that. If you wanted to die so badly, you would have done it by now, but something is keeping you alive. What is it? There is something....someone maybe? Make your own life, don't rely on others to make it for you. Maybe your purpose here on this earth is to help others. You have the ability to empathize, you help people find a reason to live also. Putting yourself out here like this took courage and guts, you obviously have a reason for being here.

Answer 2

sounds like your deeply depressed and you say don't tell you to get help because they have failed you but by posting your question you are reaching out for help rather you no it or not so lets start from there. ask your self why your feeling this way, can you walk where you need to go? can you hear all the beautiful sounds in this world? can you smell the roses? can you see a rainbow? can you breath without help? if you;ve answered yes to these questions you are truly blessed. alot of people aren't able to do these things. if you know you can be happy there is hope why not try to be happy? you say you can make millions but don't want to that's your choice but making millions doesn't mean you will be happy. you need to find what does make you happy and do it, why not try doing something productive such as charity work in a hospital maybe seeing others who are fighting to do all the things you can do at will ,will change your attitude or maybe just talking to a Friend will help. just don't give up hope, every minute of life is so precious and a gift from god. an as for life it is very short, you only go around once so make the best of it,

Answer 3

I know how you feel. You just don't feel motivated to do anything. That's all i want to do is sleep or die. I don't really know what you should live for, because I don't know what I should live for.
Life is just too complicated sometimes especially when you are not happy. I did a posting not too long ago and someone told me I should join a class like karate to socialize. So I have a membership to a gym and I think I will begin to go to the gym after work next week. Maybe you can try something similar just doing at least one thing that can get you interacting in different ways and see what comes of it.

Answer 4

Forget about making millions, money doesn't bring happiness. I don't believe in depression. Forget about how you feel and get up each day and set out to help someone else.

I want you to find someone who has a need and help them fill it. I'm talking about a real need like food, shelter, a job, medical help or compassion in dying, a ride somewhere, or just some company. Try volunteering at a youth club, Caritas, or a nursing home (can you read a book to or play an instrument for them?), find a need and fill it. Ride along with Loaves and Fishes volunteers giving out food and clothing to street people. It's through service to others that we find our purpose. I hope you will find yours. You weren't put on this earth to be bored and sleep. Eat healthy and take a vitamin every day.

Answer 5

Live for love. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's really the best (only?) reason to live. If you havent found love yet, (you didn't mention a significant other,) then live so that one day, maybe you will find it. Then, you'll see how fulfilled and happy it makes you, look back, and thank me.


ETA- I was about to say that love was a good reason to get out of bed in the morning. Thinking about it, it seems as if it may be a good reason to stay in bed =)

Answer 6

think of something, a person or activity, you know, just something, that makes you feel good.
that is what i live for, and i think you should spend as much time just doing what makes you feel good.
if you can't think of anything really im going to say you are depressed and trust me i know how hard it is to get help.
sometimes it seems that nothing really works out like you would like it to.
in my opinion the way we feel about things has a lot to do with how we think...
its like people know they want help but they are closed minded about how the help comes
srry if i am not making any sense (and im not accusing you of being close minded...)
i just dont think that anyone "failed" when you tried to get help, you just weren't really ready to be helped.
its difficult.

Answer 7

Yeah...if you find it really hard to get out of bed in the morning, you're definitely very depressed, as you already know.

That's a difficult question, but I'll give you my own personal opinion and won't tell you to go get help.

When you're depressed, it seems as if nothing excites you...even winning the lottery or whatever.

But I can say, getting outside, as hard as it might be to get out of bed, take a shower and get out...sunshine and just getting out of your normal routine does help a bit. I find the greatest sense of joy from helping other people, even if it's something as simple as giving someone directions if they're lost...just helping in any way.

If you have family or friends close and have been staying away from them, try to reconnect if you can. Schedule things in advance to force yourself to have to get out of bed and get out.

I know this isn't the best answer, but good luck.

As far as your additional comments on your family and friends abandoning you...you have to be honest with yourself and just make sure that you haven't been the one to push them away.

One thing about parents...they won't be here forever. Yeah, they might be annoying and disruptive, or just a bother to you now, but try to spend time with them if you can and take the initative to let tthem know you appreciate them.

Next weekend, get up, relax, take a shower, go to a crowded sports bar, have a drink, and watch the NFL playoffs. And just say something to anyone there...just start a conversation.

Answer 8

U sound like u really got the winter blues bad, get u some
B12 and melt under your tongue and eat more apples to fight the blues.
U just want to hibernate like a bear...WAKE UP and smell the coffee.

Answer 9

You need to focus on something/someone other than yourself. Become a volunteer for under privileged people. You'll soon be feeling better about your life.
