For the past few months I feel like I've just been cruising with no goals, happiness, or any sort of meaningful motivation. I've gained like 20 pounds and I'm pretty sure I might be an alcoholic which is a dangerous situation given my profession. Every day feels like an uphill battle to get out of bed and actually do anything. I dont even really play video games anymore because I'm not finding much of anything enjoyable or entertaining. I just drink (a lot) and spend most of my day cleaning equipment at work to pass time if I'm not brewing, just to have some level of being active.

I do.

Life for me is about having fun

I have achieved nothing in my 35 years and dont need to. I get fulfillment from existing and being alive and able to entertain myself.

It's not so bad, TC. At least you're not living in poverty or something, right?

Maybe it's not so exciting, but at least you get to sit back and chill and just ponder the meaning of life.

I dont chill. Many days I feel like I have to really force myself to actually do anything.

A suggestion for something to try for everybody here from a former CNA: volunteer at a nursing home two days a month. Two hours a session twice a month can have you feeling better about your situation in life while helping others a little since the olds love talking to young people from the outside world.

Bringing people to bingo and back, talking to the residents, and interacting with people that can't take care of themselves due to medical conditions will change your perspective on life quite a bit. Plus it'll get you out of the house and you can meet some pretty young girls that are working there too.

That's just seems more depressing, looking at your own mortality.

Sounds like textbook clinical depression. Get yourself to a doctor as soon as you can. There IS help--and hope.

That's just seems more depressing, looking at your own mortality.

Everybody dies it's a natural part of life, it just seems worse to me that so many people don't really live. Our ****ed up culture fosters so much loneliness, isolation, and depression that it's important to do things that can counter some of those influences.

Interacting with people that want and enjoy your presence can be a pretty uplifting experience. You don't even have to be a good conversationalist as the olds love to tell their back in the day stories.

I'm not suggesting that you work in nursing home as that takes a certain personality type, pays horribly, and is both physically and emotionally draining. Just go to one a few days a month to add something to your ordinary routines since they aren't bringing you much happiness or fulfilment right now.

What would you have to lose besides a few hours of your life which doesn't seem too precious to you right now anyways?

Anyone who feels this way needs to seek professional help. Which isn't any way a bad thing, it's something I myself have needed. But it isn't good or how you should feel.

I especially feel like this heading into the summer. September-December are the best/least shitty months of the year for me, though concurrently January is probably my least-favorite month.
