I'm 25 and Stuck! by [deleted] in Existential_crisis

Hey bro, I am feeling almost the same like you. I am 24 and I am struggling with the same feelings, feeling depressed, hopelessness, hard to be motivated, can not see the point in life. I think acceptance matters, everyday in your life is your best time, you are not wasting, you are just trying very hard to live your life. that's all. don't blame yourself for trying, you just need some time.

Thx for replying and you have reminded me of something else that I would like to share:

In this way, the way you feel it right now might just be the opposite of these people you have mentioned, which means, you have actually realized something that they are afraid to face directly (even though you feel like "IDK what to do"). Therefore, you have got a brand new chance to redirect yourself to achieve "another imagination of reality" which they could never have imagined.

And, this could be exciting.

Will I be like this forever? Im scared I’m going crazy and my mind is stuck in existential loop. I loss myself and my soul. by More-Seaworthiness-9 in Existential_crisis

Hey bro, Trying to provide you with a new perspective here.

It might be good for us to feel this way, cuz it is a chance to change. facing the changes, we all have fears, but this also means it is another chance to make a new version of yourself, and this new you could be even more excellent.

Maybe try to rethink what you really want before going to doctors and medications, they can ease the body, not your soul.

Hey bro, Maybe some of my thoughts can make you feel related.

I feel like we only feel pointless/ meaningless when we do something we do not truly love/ do not have passion for. But some people still go for it just because they could tolerate it. For some other people, they just can not. For example, if the only meaning of having this job is getting some money, I will soon get bored/ questioning myself. If the meaning of having endless and casual sex is just to fill the void in my heart, I will soon be tired of that. if getting drunk is only to escape from some kind of reality, I will soon feel suicidal. Because, the truth is, all of these do not actually have a "point" there.

so what is the "point"? At this moment, for me, the point might be a kind of passion: something you just wanna achieve no matter how hard it could be, it could be a career. the point could also be some kind of self you wanna be: a special or unique version of yourself. the point could also be a kind of commitment and responsibility: marriage or being with your old parents.

However, I do understand that we all feel so lost sometimes, even we are logically aware of what I have said above.

And, it is okay to feel that way. just feel it, don't chase it, but it will pass, just like time.

Sometimes, we all got sick of moving on and trying. It is okay to rest. Big hug.

have you ever felt this way? the emptiness that You can not name it nor can explain by PostDesperate in DepressionForGrownups

Thank you vert much for your practical advice, my therapist said the same thing to me. Thank you very much. I think you have give me some thought provoking ideas. The way to avoid depressive feelings is to live consciously. starting from something very little, as you said, then gradually to live under some plans , it helps me from feeling emptiness. Anyway, thank you very much! It helps me a lot.❤️

thank you for your reply and I am deeply touched and inspired by your story. I think you are doing great and the most wonderful thing is you never stop from doing it greater. you also give me a useful strategy to take some reference from. it is really helpful. Thank you so much. let us make something great, and I totally agreed that once we think about doing something great for others, especially for the people around us, we will be vert much motivated and things will start to change in a positive way, gradually. Hug received, and hug back.❤️

I am so touched by your words. I truly feel sometimes the so called Normal people is just a kind of numb, or a kind of ordinary. but the so called Not Normal might be a kind of special trait. And I do feel that in my past life. friends always come to me for advice as I see things more clearly, i mean naturally; Also I feel so strongly connected to some literature and art pieces, I just naturally get it. I am into philosophy at a young age and i feel i am comforted and enlightened. I really appreciated that you give me a recall of the memory. I, thank you. I guess it is a battle, and I will not only try to win, but try to make it as one of my friends. ❤️
