Ah. I... I don't think there's anything I could do for you, then. My only advice, while it'd sound assholish, would be to move on as soon as possible. Your mother wouldn't like you to take your life because of her passing away. Nor would she appreciate it if you withdrew from your everyday life because of her.

Best of luck, man.

Serious advice? Could you help me out too, then? See, the problem is that I have no problem but still feel incredibly depressed anyway, just because my life feels like it has no purpose anymore. I have a decent education and a nice job, so I'm probably set for the rest of my life financially, I gave up women a long time ago, and now I just find that I have no way of entertaining myself anymore. I've already tried antidepressants and crap, shit didn't work but I told the doctor I improved so I wouldn't have to take the shit anymore. I used to have plenty of hobbies, among them the vidya, reading, and learning several foreign languages, of which I only really reached a decent level in with Japanese and maybe Spanish. Now all these hobbies have fallen to the wayside, and I've really tried to get interested in them again, and even tried a bunch of new things, but nothing interests me anymore. It all just feels incredibly pointless, and I wish my life sucked so that I would have something to strive for. The result of this is me constantly looking for flaws within myself, because I've come to view that state of imperfection, and even the sadness that goes with it, since it's a nice contrast to the otherwise dull gray I'm endlessly mired in, as desirable. I'm in fairly good shape, because I exercise regularly, but still feel incredibly nervous in any social setting, even though I know it wouldn't matter anyway if I did something stupid and made myself look like a fool.

tl;dr, nothing interests me, medicines don't work, I'm fucked up in the head and prefer it that way, and am constantly nervous. Do I an hero, or is there another way out?

It's a purely psychological problem, then. First of all, you did well by refusing to take antidepressants - when they don't work pharmacologically, nor as a medium for the placebo effect, they're nothing more but a poison. I commend you on having the resolve to throw them away - most of the people I know would continue on taking them, if only for the feeling of 'doing something to help' themselves.

Your issue, it that you're stuck in a comma, a stalemate of ennui that stripped you of even something as trivial as existential goals. It's only an assumption, but it's probably the route that's gotten into you. Maybe it's your way of living, maybe your 'goal' in life was to appear in positive light in your mother's eyes? I have no way of saying for sure.

My advice? Instead of trying out new hobbies, try to get back in touch with people. Try to find someone who you'd like to impress, who would find pleasure in observing your successes, just like your mother used to. I know it's easy to say 'go out socialize', but honestly, it's the only way I see. I'm no psychologist, nor do I usurp myself the right to know what's the real problem, but from what I gather, this could be a way out. We don't live for ourselves. Humans are pack creatures - all the loners who fool themselves they don't need the society to back them up, are only that - fools.

If not... Risk your life. Find an extreme sport that lays within your financial and physical abilities, and give it a go. Maybe, just maybe, when you feel the death a step away, tapping at your shoulders, when you feel the whole of your existence clinging onto the life it has, maybe you'll learn to appreciate it again.

Either way, again, best of luck. I hope you'll find your hapiness.

Yeah, it is. I'd stayed up late 'till 4AM yesterday, convincing one of my accomplices from THP not to stop writing, and ended up not getting any sleep at all. Four classes aren't much, so I simply braved through the day, got home at 1PM, and fell asleep, waking up 7 or so hours later. Guess I've killed my biological clock yet again. Eh, there are more important things than making sure not to shamble around like a zombie when on one's feet.

It's pretty amazing how big an effect this actually has. Self-confidence and motivation just skyrockets when you start exercising often and eating right. It's insane, and I highly recommend it for everyone.
