I’m basically an almost 50 loser. I have a shit job that pays well enough, but is far too stressful. My closest friend, a person I trusted with pretty much anything, ended our friendship over a fight about something I still don’t really understand. My next closest friend died about 6 months ago in a freak accident. That’s still pretty surreal. I have a few friends that I see sometimes, but we don’t really have all that much in common, besides drinking, so I pretty much do anything I like doing alone. To that, being isolated has most certainly increased my insanity; so much so that I end up talking to myself. I’m stuck on my ex, even though we broke up 4 yrs ago, even though it was a terribly unhealthy relationship, which has basically ruined a few chances with someone new. So my life seems pretty meaningless, at this point.
I am not really suicidal, I mean I have suicidal ideations, but it’s more that I just wish I was dead. I sometimes go to bed at night and say to myself, or god or whatever, “Maybe this will be it. Maybe I just won’t wake up so I can be dead and have some peace.” But no. I wake up every morning and realize that I have to keep doing this. I have to keep going on everyday because killing myself would just end up hurting everyone else. So yeah, I’m just trapped with seemingly no way out.

Hey
I’m not sure if it helps but I just wanted to say I’m going through pretty much the same thing. Many nights I go to bed hoping I’m not going to see tomorrow. My ex left me over a year ago and although she wasn’t the right person for me and our relationship was abusive but my life feels really hollow without her. Please hang there man… You are not alone…
Your life is more than those you are in a relationship with, it’s there for you to explore. Immediately you went from romantic failure to pointlessness. That sucks, but I think there is probably more to you than just whatever your ex saw. Geez, my ex thinks I’m an unambitious piece of shit, but at least most days I think she’s wrong.
Death will come when it comes. I’ve had a few near misses, and it comforts me that nothing flashed before my eyes, and it was over quite quickly.
