I don't know what to do anymore.

[pink_rose1]

I don't know what to do anymore. I have no sense of direction in life and I don't have any idea what to do with my life anymore. I just don't want to be here as it is too painful to be alive constantally worrying about what I need to be doing job wise and figuring out what I want to do. I have no goals anymore and no motivation. I have seeked professional help and nothing seems to work. I just don't want to be here anymore. When I talk to someone all I hear is "it will get better" "it's all right something will work out" but it's been like this for years.

Your message resonated with me, pink_rose. My heart goes out to you. I have no advice, as I'm feeling the same. Maybe you could call the 1300 number and talk with someone. I know it's only momentary relief, but it might help. Much love.

Hi Pink_Rose, welcome to the forums.

Well done for finding the courage to reach out.

I too have been familiar with the no goal and no motivation head space. Not a comfortable place to be, particularly when we have been lingering there too long. Figuring what you want to do if nothing comes to mind is indeed frustrating and distressing.

Do you have any idea why professional help didn't work out for you ? Was it because of a lack of connection, the feeling of not being heard, something else ? It can take several attempts before we find someone we can connect and work with long term. Sorry about the questions but the more we know about your situation, the better we can help and support you.

Sometimes we become stuck in a particular frame of mind. Having an in depth talk with someone neutral who cares and understand can help get things moving again. Have you tried calling a helpline ?

Quite a few members have found some measure of solace and motivation by navigating the forums. I hope you too will find here heartfelt connections, thoughts that will resonate with you and coping strategies to ease the distress. Here, silent suffering does have a voice so please feel free to continue to post as much and as often as you wish. We'd love to get to know you better.

Hi all 🙂

Pink & Grace really sorry to hear yous feel this way

I too as Starwolf said know that feeling of just being here, not knowing what you want to do or where to go, makes us feel meaningless doesn't it. Lost.

Depression pulls us down in so many ways, it also becomes habit forming believing in the negatives.
It takes hope,motivation, energy, everything.

I've been as many have and are where yous are atm but it CAN change, takes time and work internally. Hard work but it's bloody hard where yous are now too aye.

Sorry yous are in such a horrible place
