Anyone else think they could improve their life but the energy required to do it and maintain it isn’t worth it?

I can't even shower every day because the stress involved gives me dark eye circles.

I think I could improve my life too but the future looks so bleak that it doesn't feel like it's worth all the effort.

Yeah even if I improved, society is still decaying. Popular culture is disgusting.

Maybe I could improve my life somewhat, but there's no way I could improve it enough to make it worth living.

I also struggle to find energy to shower everyday & do other basic required/necessary things.

Spot on. I have traits that mean recovery is probably more possible for me, but even if I get better, why would I want to continue living? This world sucks. People suck. Society sucks and everything just looks so damn shitty.

It becomes a habit to do nothing.

 

[Stick]

I feel this way exactly! I know that I'm capable of a "normal" life, but a "normal" life isn't worth such an awful amount of work.

 

[sadworld]

if my depression would be gone i might be able to improve my life but i know it's not worth because society would bring me down again...

 

[FuneralCry]

I feel the same, I am looking forward to death which means non existence.

 

[Superdeterminist]

Personally I wouldn't even know where to begin in terms of how to improve my life. I'm so sick of worrying about it, I would love to just sleep forever.

 

[MariV]

yes...i already thought the word sucks before becoming depressed and ill.

 

[DeathNoot]

Yup, especially considering I'll have to maintain the effort for the rest of my life. If I relapse, no matter how briefly, I'll lose every bit of progress (this has happened many times before).

 

[grimfukis]

Yes it's possible but requires so much more time and effort than I care for. I self destruct my life periodically but the last time was too disruptive for me to easily come back from.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

There's a possiblity I have a small chance to improve but it's hard to believe I succeed after all my bad experiences and bad choices. it will require amount of energy, determination and luck I don't think I have.
I don't want to go through pain of disappointed any more.
Worst of all it doesn't depends entirely on myself.

 

[Mr2005]

I could have done but I couldn't be bothered and that I have to live with for the rest of my life. Not sure anything's worth having that weighing on my conscience day in day out

 

[Valon]

100%. This thread is too relatable. I had to like every post.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I'm severely depressed and I don't have energy for daily tasks. I want to be all day in bed.

This happens to me every week. Every week I shave, shower, brush my teeth, and wash my clothes. Then I slowly fall back into my rut that I have to again pull my myself out of.

Me too. Bed is home. We should practice sleeping in padded coffins as preparation.

My health doesn't allow me to raise children completely alone since I can't do things like drive and have neurological issues. I could live a solo existence, but it would be so void and sad. Even if I kept going every day what would be the point.

 

[nitroautnz]

I know I could improve my life and maybe my mental health, I have done it in the past and try for a few months before coming on this forum. But i decided i don't want to fight for it anymore, im tired of being alive and struggling for trying to find happiness.
i still maintain an ''normal'' lifestyle, for not alerting people around me. But if I could I would spend my time between bed and pc, crying most of the time.
