It sounds like you're suffering from clinical depression. Being a person who has suffered from it myself, I somewhat understand you.

One of the biggest symptoms of depression is finding we're not enjoying the things we should be enjoying. That it's not worth the time or effort.

I believe something in this generation (haven't determined exactly what yet) is causing depression to be very common among people, and I would not consider it abnormal any more than a flu or cold.

But like a flu or cold, it needs to be recognized. You wouldn't do the same things you would normally do when you're sick.

I would highly recommend you look into it:

You don't really have to do anything about it, although I'd recommend you do, but I think it's more important that you determine whether you have it or not.

I would recommend taking that test. Others in my opinion can be inaccurate, and automatically say you're depressed whether you are or not. This one has a scale, and is more accurate in my opinion.

Take Care,
Ken

Chris,

My first reading of your thoughts conveys to me the important message that you want everything to happen to you but you will make only minimal efforts. It is like the very thirsty man sitting under a coconut tree, waiting for some coconut to fall by itself! ( coconut contains very tasty sweet water inside) . The man should do some effort ... climb the tree , throw some stone... call for some help....cut down the whole tree.... something. Instead he simply sits there waiting .

Like for example, you can do very well to learn some better English so that you can express yourself. Who will employ you with this English If you are living in an English speaking country?

Secondly , it looks , you missed out earlier in life to educate yourself properly in some specialised area. That time is past now and you are blaming the world for not giving you an opportunity. Survival of the fittest is the order of the day. accept the present and work towards the future. good luck.

Sounds like you should go to a church, synagogue or mosque and speak with a priest, rabbi, or other "person of God." You seem to be seeking the path to Enlightenment or fulfillment, and there are many paths to take to achieve this end. Read the book, "Siddartha," by Hermann Hesse. It's an easy to read story (I read it in one sitting), and it shows you that there are many paths to reach the same goal. Good luck on your journey!
