Maybe I should kill myself.
The thing that I have feared the most has happened, and I got too apathetic to even enjoy my hobbies. I stopped following current anime with this season, I don't feel like reading manga or playing almost any games, and my mood is never right to play VNs. For years already I've struggled to force myself to draw and write, which are things that are most important to me - but for some time I've become unable to do any kind of prolonged creative activity at all.
And I have no money to follow my other hobbies.
I spend my days lately browsing random websites on the internet and playing my online shooter of choice(since I can just enter a trance and not think about anything, letting the hours pass me by while shooting off the heads of random strangers).
Not even /jp/ is amusing lately - it got a bit... better recently, but at the same time more boring.
I don't feel particularly bad or depressed, nor do I think my life is sad or stressful. But everything is just so... tiring.
I should be looking for a job, but I know that even if got one that I can do, it's going to be a dead end - and getting a job isn't easy anyway. Not to mention working just to find myself in the same country, in the same city, in the same house 20 years from now just feels futile.
Is there something like a pathological laziness?
I don't know.
I do not believe in God, afterlife, or Gensokyo - but I hope there's something like that, for it would make the world more interesting.
But the void wouldn't be that bad either.
Not that bad at all.

That's depression. You say you don't FEEL depressed but depression doesn't feel like short-term sadness.

You basically listed textbook symptoms: you don't have energy, enjoy activities you used to, no motivation, etc.

Find a psychiatrist and tell them what you told us, they'll practically throw medication at you. Worth a try, maybe your outlook on everything will change.

My thoughts exactly

[Anonymous No.]

When you were younger, you know when they said everyone was special? They lied.

You know when they said everyone has a talent? They lied about that too.

Working hard lets you achieve your goals? Nope, it doesn't actually work that way.

Face it, you failed at life and now you're asking other people what you should do. Has that actually ever worked out for you? Really? If so, then why are you in that situation now? Excuses.

The reason everything seems so tiring and pointless is because you don't actually believe it yourself. You're just doing what society expects of you. It needs losers so there are winners. Learn to think for yourself.

I don't think I can do that.
I'm not the poster child of social anxiety like some people on /jp/ - as long as it's passing contact with other people, I don't have much trouble overcoming my inhibitions, and even if something stresses me out I usually can hide it really well.
But going to a psychiatrist, and talking with them about my problems is something that even the thought of fills me with anxiety. I have a hard time with any kind of one-on-one situation like that, unless it's someone I know well - going to the doctor or a dentist, even buying a cellphone on contract in person was extremely hard for me.
Also, it's not like it's recent - it's just intensified, but I've been like that whole my life. In middle and high school I constantly faked illness, not because going to school stressed me out(after the initial month or so I got to know the people well enough to get over my anxiety), but because it was so bothersome. It was also one of the reasons I dropped out of university three years ago.
I'm extremely lazy and weak-willed, and since I was a pretty smart kid and no one ever told me "you must've worked hard" when I was a kid, only "you're so clever" I never learned to actually work hard towards anything. I find it extremely hard to keep interest in anything if I'm not immediately good at it.

I felt something like that little time ago, fortunately I have a job (Btw, I must be studying instead of posting here).

You surely feel so, for any bad situation.

And you don't get out of that situation because, due that feeling you are playing a shooter, and browsing random website, instead of doing something for fix the problem (For example, seeking a job, or studying).

It's a cycle.

Depending the situation, you are going to need to force yourself to make anything different, like other kind or hobby or search other type of job.

Visit the psychiatrist is good idea, but surely you don't have the money for.

P.D.: But if you don't believe in gensokyo you are probably helpless

I've never been afraid of dying.
When I was a young teenager after doing something extremely stupid that I thought would ruin my life I was pretty close to killing myself - but I realized that there's really no point doing it. If I'm ready to kill myself, why would anything at all matter to me? I decided to just take it easy and it turned out that thanks to some great people it wasn't that bad after all.
The difference is now I don't really enjoy taking it easy - it's not that I feel I failed my life, am afraid that it's going to get worse, or anything like that - it's just that I don't really feel like living anymore, since there's nothing worth living for.
I've watched my grandfather, who when he was younger lived for work and a bit of social interaction, slowly turn into a vegetable, wither and die - not because of his illness, but because he didn't have anything to live for.
I really don't want to die like that.

Once your basic human needs are satisfied, there is nothing left in life but "escapism", is what I believe. There is no inherent meaning to anything, meaning is only in the things you hold dear for yourself, no matter what they are.
And that's all the meaning that needs to be there.
For life to be worth living you only have to find and hold on to those things.
I can't.

As a living organism you will be failing on the most fundamental level. The sole goal of any biological lifeform on the individual level is the continuation of its own life. I'm not saying killing yourself is objectively wrong, nor am I trying to suede you from acting out such There is no ultimate purpose or point to life. Compare humans to any other animal, we exist for the same reason - environmental success as a species. Only difference being we are capable of comprehending the true meaningless of life of a universal scale.

Unlike you, I hope to survive long enough to the point where anti aging drugs are synthesized and made available to the public. From there my goal is to live biologically until it becomes technologically possible to recreate and have complete control over virtual/created worlds within one's own mind. I will be the king of the animes.

From there, I don't even know. I'd really like to see man's gradual expansion into space and eventual exploration of the universe. But all these fantasies are completely dependent on the aging cure being created within my lifetime. If it doesn't happen I wont be too disappointed.

If we as a species become ageless we consequently would get a whole lot more accomplished. Schooling and training take up well over a fourth of the average professional`s life, which leaves only 30-50 years spent in actual practice. The sheer amount of time and reasources we`d save from training would be immense. The implications of an ageless population are fucking immense.

At this point it is technologically possible for us as a species to use the earth much more efficiently. I see no reason why we couldn't maintain an active population of 10-30 billion on earth if major changes were set in place. And as technology evolves we will be capable of so much more.

Hey OP,

I have been in your situation before.

This lack of interest and direction often comes from repression of angst and regret. I was suicidal for several years.

Some things that have helped me alot are:
exercise. And I'm not talking about the boring shit like "going to the gym" I'm talking about finding a local mountain and hiking it. You don't need to eb very fit to climb a mountain surprisingly. It takes longer if you are out of shape, but just bring lots of water, a bit of food, and take lots of breaks.

The feeling of having climbed a mountain is amazing; It makes you feel like you have accomplished something, as trifling as it sounds. Physical exercise does lots of incredible chemical effects for your body. From reversing depression, to increasing efficiency in everyday tasks (not simply due to better physical health, there is a profound effect on the mind's ability to focus and concentrate), to appreciating things in your life more.

As rewarding as it feels to slide into the niche that is the stereotype of otaku/neet, try stepping into a bit of exercise, and get outside a bit. The body is affected heavily by intake of sun. Seasonal depression is shown to be directly coordinated with amount of sun received (in actuality it has to do more with some mechanism involved with Vitamin D production in your skin, but the variables are interchangeable minus a constant to convert the two).

As for the repressed angst and regret, find someone IRL or even online, and just talk to them about it. Cry, let it out, i'm serious if you aren't feeling emotional when talking about it, find someone else. You can and will just repress the emotions until they come out if horrible ways later, unless you get them out healthily.

As for internet addiction, I can guarantee you that i the next 10 years 100s of studies will come out with detailed information about this plague for our generation. I think it's important to have some time during the day where you just do something without a computer of electronics involved at all. Otherwise you become so accustomed to this hyper activation of your senses that nothing IRL, and eventually online, can satiate your drive for satisfaction for any length of time.

I feel for you bro, and let me tell you its hard to get out of that feeling. But the first step is to make a few small changes, have 20 minutes in the day where you do something in a completely different room from any electronics. Walk to the grocery store and back to get food. Find a local forest and just go for a little exploration. If it gets boring, just sit down and see if you can observe anything interesting. watch the clouds, see if you can find any little plants starting to grow.

Finally, this is all good and fine, but for many people in our situation this comes from being mislabeled as introverts. I have over a dozen so called "introverts" that I have met online or IRL that I have helped come out of their shells and embrace activity outside their own personal single person activities. Some have come crying to me afterwards about how much better it made them feel after a year or so of doing stuff together.

Try and find a community in which you can be a part of. Not just a forum where you have the comfort of anonymity, but something where you can be held accountable and be appreciated for your interactions. Whether its a club, or a fansubbing group, or a exercise group, or just a friend who you watch anime with/play games with in the same room just give it a shot. Everything helps.

Once you realize your life is overall irrelevant to the universe at whole and our existence is tiny, insignificant, and fleeting, you stop caring so much and just take it easy.

Stop leeching off your parents or w/e the hell you do and fucking get a job you lazy bitch.
Or else just go kill yourself, yeah. You're probably a burden on the people around you anyway.

Who the hell do you think you're kidding?

>Find a psychiatrist and tell them what you told us, they'll practically throw medication at you
Most prescription drugs are made to force certain chemicals into certain balances in the body - which is never healthy, and will eventually cause the body to be unable to function properly without it. Yes, I do have first-hand experience. Yes, I was forced (as a minor, when I couldn't legally make decisions) to take a lot of different crap. Yes, I felt a LOT better overall after I stopped taking that shit.

Don't depend on medications unless absolutely necessary.

>and I got too apathetic to even enjoy my hobbies
Been there, done that. Turns out that my interests had simply changed. Go try something that you were apathetic to before now. And try forcing yourself away from all your electronics for 24 hours - read a book or something.

>Not to mention working just to find myself in the same country, in the same city, in the same house 20 years from now just feels futile.
Maybe you should move, if possible.
