Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Does anyone else find themselves spiraling into deep philosophical ideas when in a deep depression? I find myself trying to find answers through different religions or philosophical ideas to try and understand. I feel so lost and like there is really no point to it all. I think of why we are here. Why am I killing myself for a job that ultimately is making me unhappy? Why am I here? Nobody is special, we may think we are but we really are all the same selfish human being just surviving. Why do we crave to live? What comes after death? I have so many questions that I seem to never find the answers to. Trying to answer my questions with ideas that have been made up in religions just seems like a bandaid for the present moment and a way to calm the mind about what are actual purpose is. I guess all im getting at is I am confused as FUCK, so if you have any ideas or want to chat please send a message.

We have been asking ourselves the same things you are for MANY thousands of years, and except for a minority of atheists, the answers are found in various religions.
My answers come from Christianity and the Bible.
Your profile says you are 19.
I should tell you it took me about 65 years to 'get it'. I hope you will long before I did.
meaning. Raising good kids that care about others, helping the
less fortunate by volunteering, etc.
and then examine the Earth without the people(complications) because people through the generations have become super complex- you will find this
P E A C E
thats it thats it for me at least non complicated, non anything,
ONENESS with nature peace,thats how it begins this is how it ends so why not let it be as such in the middle,

The purpose of life is whatever keeps you alive, and what you must know that the search can be an answer, because many ideas do not make sense unless it can used for good, , like I would play with an idea like free will, or some thing,
but i do not have to reject or accept it, Jobs are jobs, it is better to have one than not, Why are you here? Because you are here, or maybe over there, What makes you Happy? philosophy an d religion? or does it bother you more to think about it than not? if it does not, eliminate it from your life unless you have to do that for school,/work
You are right, we are not special , we have to survive, so in order to survive, we Keep playing the music, until we find inner peace with ourselves, all music will sound off, just like you can read a book, but until you put in to practice, , it does not work too well, we do crave to live, but many people are denied, so thank your lucky stars you are here, Who knows what comes after we go, every thing is a theory anyway,, I hope I helped a little, take care
Personally, I think that I always understood what life's meaning was for me...it just took me some time to accept it.
***For what it's worth, I'm atheist and happy. I wish you the best whatever your beliefs.***
I do remember being young, and how hard it was.
Hugs, Patti
My life journey has led me to God Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
God made us for His love and glory. He loves us and we in turn love love Him which glorifies him.
Questions are good to ask, there's no dumb question ever.
When i concentrate on myself, my depression worsens. When i concentrate on Gid, learning and reading about Him, do things for other people, my depression lifts.
I am on meds for fibro, depression, anxiety, ra and oa, have had onset 20 surgeries since I was 19, I'm 60 now.
Id like to chat with rilly if you want to know God and hear ho.e Hes helped me lived this long.
He didn't tell us that life would be a bowl cherries but one of trials and tribulation. He did say Hes always here to help us, even if we're don't understand why we are going thru the things we are going thru.
Job in the Bible suffered and questioned God about that. After all was said and done, Gid mrshberg did answer Jobs question as to why he suffered. And we may never know the reasons on this side of heaven but this i do know.
I put my trust in God and live each day as best I can, learning on Him.
Blessings to you. Questions are a good place to start! Thanks for reaching out! Call on those who have offered to chat with you, you are not alone!
