I’m 23 years old still living at home with my mom. I have no goals or ambitions. Everyday I sleep, eat, work, repeat. I have no social life, never even had a girlfriend. I only have one friend and we’re drifting apart. Im suffering serious depression and anxiety everyday but have no one to talk to about it.
Sure it would hurt a couple people a lot if I killed myself but if this is all my life is, what’s the point? I’m existing for the sake of existing

I’m 33 and even though I’ve gotten my life together in the past, had a girlfriend and friends.. I currently have none of that.. no job, no home of my own and no friends. I sleep on my parents couch. They pay my bills. I hate myself so much. I need help and council.
If you were existing just to exist, then you wouldn’t even address the situation like that. You wouldn’t question it. Don’t allow yourself to make excuses for why you don’t achieve anything in life and don’t use death as a cop out for actually making changes. Nail down some goals and start reaching out for new ideas. If you are doing things that keep you confined to one space then you need to squash those habits. Depression or not.. you have to have goals and you can’t get along in life without dealing with that pain. Dont just stand by and not face your fears. Find council if you must.
I didn’t expect anyone to actually read that let alone reply, I was just venting into the void. Thank you for taking the time to reply, it’s fucked up but nice to know others are suffering just as much or worse than me. Truth is I used to be a happy driven person with goals and direction. One by one all my dreams have been crushed and every one I’ve know has left me. I’m so used to everything failing I don’t have the urge to try anymore. I have started seeing a therapist recently but I don’t think it’s helping, just a bunch of talk and breathing exercises.
I understand completely. I’ve been in the same boat my entire life. People have let me down in ways that make me question why I still keep going. Nothing seems to fix the situations I find myself in. I’ve had to change my dreams over and over and over again..being a responsible adult one minute and then the next, not having a single direction or friend or reason to live.
All you can do is take it day by day and learn from your situation step by step. No one can just tell you what’s going to work..but hold on to your patience and faith in yourself that you will eventually find focus and strength to make life work for you. There will always be challenges. Have small goals every day. Don’t beat yourself up so much. I know it’s not easy, and that’s what the breathing is for.
i have no goals or ambitions either, despite the fact i was bullied for many years at school, i had ambitions and goals back then and i did not want to be dead. But now i am a wreck and have no goals or ambitions and want to die. I am sick and tired of my stupid, dumb, messed up self. Have been this way for about… 2 years. I think.
i am sorry that you are in this situation.
sorry i cant give any advice i am useless
Join the Military, that’s your best bet. Navy preferably. If you like the sea that is. You have nothing to lose right? Why not.
