What's the point?

All I ever wanted was to be happy, but I never seem to be. These past couple of months I've felt numb, emotionless. I'm so done to the point where every bad thing that happens to me, I'm used to it. A major breakup with my first love that I've been with for 2 years, losing family members, friends to now losing my favorite person in the world, my grandmother to brain damage and kidney failure. I don't even know why I try anymore to be honest. Nothing I do will ever replace this empty, numbness feeling in my heart. I wish every night to fall asleep and never wake up.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Perhaps a therapist can help you work through some of these things. It can take a lot of work on yourself to lift out of depression. But you are worth it.

I know the feeling of never wanting to wake up and to surrender it sleep forever. It's a terrible feeling of hopelessness that starts to root in you chest only to start to take over your entire body; but we are here for you. Losing loved ones and your first love is difficult; but we are here for you. We may be strangers but we know what you're going through and are always willing to help you out. And if you don't feel comfortable with people, I implore you to look into psychotherapy -- it's the one of the most helpful treatments I've ever known. You can send 'connect' to 741-741, a crisis line, to talk to a real professional without the cost. I use this very often and find it to be extremely helpful.

Sorry for your many losses. You are still grieving your losses. You appear to have symptoms of depression. You would probably benefit by seeing a therapist who can help you get through the way you are feeling. The above mentioned crisis line is a good possibility for you, too.

I'm so very sorry to hear you are struggling with so much. If you ever want to talk, I'm here. I know how hard it is. I struggle with the feeling of wanting to die a lot, too. My prayers are with you. My condolences, too. I lost a parent when I was in my teens so I understand how awful grief can be.
