Sorry about the whiny post, but I've been really depressed lately and I don't know what to do about it. I know there's several billion people on the planet that have a harder life than me, but that doesn't make me feel any better about my life. That just makes me hate life in general even more.
I guess I know that life really isn't that hard. It's more like it's just hard enough to not make it worth the effort. I went to therapy for years, tried a bunch of different drugs for depression and anxiety. The past 6 months I've been doing other things to try to improve my life. I've lost 70 lbs, I started writing in a journal, I did a little traveling and I've spent a bunch of time with my 2 best friends. I still haven't experienced anything in life that makes me want to go on living.
I've spent the last 7 years avoiding life, doing as little as possible. I guess in a way that's how I've lived my whole life, but the past 7 years I haven't had school to force me into some form of activity. I guess the reason the depression is hitting me a little harder right now is that I'm basically at the point where I deperately need to do something with my life and just as always, I have no idea what that something should be.
I turn 30 in a week and that's really fucking depressing considering I've done absolutely nothing with my life and I don't have any ambition to do anything either. I've been planning to move in with friends in Austin and I think I'll be doing that in the next month or 2, but there's some issues involved. The main thing is I have no idea what kind of job to look for. I don't have a college degree and I only have experience in a few menial part-time jobs.
I feel like what I really should do is finish college. I quit with only a semester left. To finish, I'd have to take the classes at that school. I couldn't take them anywhere else or transfer to another school. Last time I was at school I tried to kill myself and I feel like if I went back there, I'd be just as depressed. I guess I could transfer to another school and do another major, since I hated my major anyway. That would require a couple more years of school which I don't have the money for and it's not like there's any other major that's calling out to me.

get on some drugs-- they can really help. (Anti-depressants)
Buck up, trooper. The sun always rises.
Why do you feel a need to do "something" with your life? Why can't surviving be enough? I think that experiencing life, in all its shit-stained mediocrity, is really all anyone can hope to accomplish.
Yeah, I'm betting you actually have a clinical depression. You should see a doctor.
im trying to think of something positive, but i just come up with judas priest...
"do it"
I know that feeling. I am the living embodiment of "lack of motivation".
My Best friend Suffers from Deep Depression. I suggest seeing someone about it before you do something you can't take back or Undo. Meds really help him alot and keep him from wanting to harm himself.
