I am 43, just quit a job I was in which I did because I’m supposed to want to live, to be grateful for being alive but I do not and am not.
I’m not grateful, I see no merit in being grateful. Moreover, to whom is this gratitude supposed to go. Did someone create me and now I owe them? Really?
Sounds like b.s.
The idea that I should live my life out of gratitude to a benevolent being seems really odd.
I trudge through this existence, yearning for it to end but I cannot end it…quickly that is…I have the notion of taking a walk…a long walk…that will either end in my death or in me wanting to live..
Any thoughts out there

My thought’s, this world can be pretty tough. Sometimes just taking another breath is good enough for now. Besides It’ll all end eventually so you might as well stick around for it. aha. I look forward to that. Keeps me going.
Also when I’m at my lowest of low’s I try to find and read stories of people who continue going even though they have much harder problems that they face in life.
Also asking if someone created you is kind of hard to answer.
Perhaps learn about how the world was created through science and look at the grand scheme of thing’s. For me it help’s overlook the issues society has created and help’s me look at thing’s from a different perspective. I hope I helped in someway I’m here if you want to chat anyway.
i wish i had the balls to quit my job like that. i want to live as well, but nothing much seems appealing to me aside from laying in bed all day.
I’m 17 and I feel like you. What is the point of going to school, getting a job, marrying, and so on if you are only going to die off anyways?
Science has depressed the crap out of me, but at least know that you are not alone. Many philosophers also see life as a futile struggle.
Try to find distractions, even if they are simple. Go outside, try to have fun, and so on. Try to find a hobby, craft something, and try to turn your negative energy into art. This has helped me to some extent.
