Yeah, I know how you feel. I've been thinking lately how pointless my life is, too. I mean, I'm a 32-YO male; I shouldn't be thinking like that, but it is what it is.
I think the trick to getting through these feelings is to think about the small moments of happiness in your life that you'd never get to experience again if you were gone. I know it sounds really lame and contrived, but it works. Like for me, I'd miss late night drives back from the beach with my gf with her snoozing in the passenger seat and me feeling like I'm protecting her from anything bad happening. Basically, small moments like that. haha.
Or the scary a** adventure of driving up some mountain on snow covered roads to go skiing and getting stuck. I mean, granted it wasn't a great experience at the time, but in retrospect whenever I think about it, it was actually pretty exciting, and it definitely makes me appreciate us not dying up there (though I don't know if we were ever really in DANGER danger haha).
Another good memory is when my gf at the time and I went to the Bahamas. The water was so clear that you could literally see to the bottom. That was pretty cool, and I definitely want to travel to more places like that in the future.
Anyway, you're probably not looking for advice haha, but I didn't really know what to say otherwise. Really just wanted to throw out my support. Hang in there.
