What keeps you going in life?

I'm 30 and I've gradually lost interest in life over the years. I've been trying to fight hard but today is the day I feel completely hopeless. Oh my god I'm drained. I'm so stressed up with my home based writing job that I've given it up. I don't know what's my aim in life. I can't connect with people and I can't find myself any entertainment. TV and internet look so pointless. I've seen people here over 40 still sane enough to live their life. I want to know from you what keeps you going? I think I'll go crazy if I don't find something to live for. Please, all the help I can get...

What am I living for? Absolutely nothing. I have no reason at all to wake up in the morning. But when I wake up still breathing, I feel as if I have no choice but to go ahead and get up.

As for you, though, I'm betting that you've got a lot of potential. If you're getting bored and tired of the same stuff (TV, Internet, etc.), then maybe try and find something else. Find your passion. If you discover a new love for something, perhaps it will keep you going? I'm sorry I'm so horrible at this. I can't give advice for the life of me. I do hope that you find what you're looking for and that you feel better...as corny as that may sound.

Only my family(mother and father),when they are gone,I will probably be too,when you are past a certain age,friendship just seems so fake to me,cant really connect with people,just pretend that I do,didnt have a good friend since ages,let the love of my life slip away and I know I am not Brad Pitt,but some girls did get interested in me,but I wasnt really interested in them,I didnt see the point of being with them,searched for their faults,to make them more unappealing to me,when my parents are gone there will be no point.

I think I'm gonna get myself a dog or a cat, it's a great idea.

@ladywench
Actually I don't think I have anything in me, maybe I'm just overambitious for nothing. I ought to learn and accept things. Thanks anyway..

You still seem optimistic enough, otherwise you wouldn't even start this thread.

Trying to prove myself - that's what I'm trying to do!
Everything people doubt about me, I'm on a mission to prove them wrong.
I want to lose loadsa weight to look like a model,
bag myself an awesome boyfriend,
gain respect of people,
get rid of my social anxiety and be seen as somewhat normal,
and not be the girl people make fun of or only go near as a bet, or a dare, or just to make a joke of!
I wanna be envied by girls everywhere!
Basically i want to live the opposite life I'm living now and I ain't gonna give up anytime soon!

I live for a day where I become comfortable enough in myself and my circumstances to such an extent that I could die in the knowledge that my life had not been just one tragic waste.

sounds you need a change...go somewhere new or exotic. Try an extreme sport like skydiving or bungee jumping,

or you can do what I do and volunteer. Nothing makes me feel happier or needed than when I'm helping somone else. I doesn't have to be anything big. This year, I picked a low income family or child to sponsor for xmas. I just get them what they want.. I always feel like I'm making a difference in the world when I do this.

I threw religion and god out the window and saw the world for what it really is. Its the here and now and producing happiness . Your small amount of time here alive is all there is. The reason everything seems so pointless is that your clinically depressed like the rest of us. Sounds to me like your aware of that or you wouldnt reach out. Believe me im in the same life of despair as you. Lets keep aware that there is a beautiful world out there and it really is as simple as a dreadful chemical imbalance that impairs us. Its fixable. So even if our only mission for now is seeking treatment then that in turn is living albeit not at all a fun life but never lose sight of "being well" Its chemo for the soul for most of us and its gonna go into remission. If you check out your gonna kill inspiration of others that read from you all over the world, So for that you can find purpose in being alive as you walk your personal road to recovery from depression and anxiety.

sit for a while, and think back to when you were a kid, spend a decent chunk doing it remembering what it felt like, and you'll remember what you used to be passionate about. its easier i think, than forcing yourself to be interested in a new thing. its worth a shot

I live because I know someday I will get better, back to my normal self. And when that happens, I can hopefully help others with the same problem.
I like to remember that once I was happy, and looked forward for the next day to come. Just think of the happiest moment in your life, and that someday you will have that feeling again.
