Since the turn of the new year ive become so so depressed. A feeling that the world is no good and will never get better like I’ve posted before. Today I got to such a low point, I got all the pills in the flat together and put them in a bag ready for when I’m ready. But somehow later I’ve come out of such a low episode. I still don’t see any point in our existence and have no patience for talking about meaningless crap but not gonna go end it tomorrow. I think it’s because I’ve seen how much all this is affecting my boyfriend. I don’t want to keep hurting him, but to keep him happy am I going to have to pretend for the rest of my life? Or fool myself again into feeling like meaningless things are worthwhile…

Don’t try to pretend. It’s not good for you. But if you’re having better moments, let’s see how things go, no? One day more. If you don’t like that day? Fine, try again. If you do? Let’s see how long we can go. And if you really do want to go, that’s fine, though remember that it will hurt your boyfriend for a very long time.
If you are searching for some universal argument that shows existence is meaningful, well then you are probably out of luck. Nobody is able to deduce out of thin air that existence is meaningful. This is simply because you can’t deduce anything without assuming something. However, if you feel that there are things in live that are meaningful, then it isn’t difficult to deduce that there is meaning to existence. Again, there is no universal argument to show that for example love is meaningful. But if you strongly feel that it is, then it is justified to declare that it is so in every sense of the word. Axioms of mathematics aren’t really any different: one just chooses them to match intuition.
Of course, if you really can’t find any sensation of meaning or importance from anything at all, then it becomes really difficult to find a meaning for existence in any sense. But you said that you don’t want to keep hurting your boy friend. So perhaps you can still find some importance from the people closest to you.
