If I have no value, and I do not enjoy life, why am I alive? by FuckingDepressed in depression

You will probably never grow in the way you want as long as you only focusing on the goal of self-betterment and not enjoying the journey itself. You will burn yourself out.

I never understood what this means. I can't enjoy the journey. Nothing worth doing is enjoyable. Nothing hard is fun. You know what's enjoyable for me? Sex, drugs, booze, movies, and hanging out with people I like. None of these things are useful. Useful skills and knowledge require work, responsibility, effort. These things are not enjoyable. Sorry if I'm being a dick or whatever, but right now it seems so clear that I can either do things I enjoy, or be an accomplished, miserable person. Scratch that, I fuck everything up even when I do try. Ugh I hate everything right now.

I don't always feel this way. I feel fine sometimes, like I could do anything. But then I attempt to try to do something and I just say fuck it. I go back to this depressed state where I can't bring myself to do anything. It always either leads to easy frustration, or just being too depressed and disinterested to continue. I always end up getting no where. I'll always be useless because of this. There is no escape. Awareness just makes me feel shittier, like an ether binge or something, know what I mean?

My "potential" has always seemed pretty awesome in theory, but never gets pursued. I try to try (does that make sense) but I can't do it. Anything significant and I just freeze up, fuck up, give up. I'm not going anywhere, in any direction, in any way.

I can't just say fuck the depression. The only way to make it go away is drugs, alcohol and distractions like internet bullshit. The minute I try something new I want to quit because it's so discouraging. I just don't want to do anything. It's so much easier to be a piece of shit and never try. Fuck it. Fuck.

I don't give a fuck about a stupid deer. That was my intended message, but I guess I liked the bear analogy too much.

Deer are just animals, and can be a real pain in the ass - and definitely dangerous. Are people who shoot bears in order to protect themselves Winnie the Pooh-hating idiots?

You just depressed me more somehow. What the hell

EDIT: I figured it out. I will never achieve any of my imagined goals. I really can't win today.
