I’m finding it increasingly hard to care about living, to the point where I’m not actively seeking suicide, but I’ve begun to fantasize about a bomb falling on us and just ending it.
I’m 24 and I’m nowhere near where I thought I would be in life. I’m unemployed, have no friends, no real hobbies and am not particularly close to any of my family members.
The things that at some point gave me joy and something to hope for (like romance, starting a family, traveling, or working in my preferred career field) don’t interest me anymore. The current state of the world is straight up depressing too, so it’s not helping the cause either.
My appetite’s all messed up, my sleeping schedule’s all messed up and I feel nothing.
I’ve considered going to therapy because I know the way I feel isn’t ideal, but I don’t even care enough to actually go. I just want it to be over.

Id personally rather the Earth NOT blow up or we all don’t get bombed out of existence. I have children, and I love them, and I want them to be successful where I haven’t been. I’ve made some mistakes in my life, which is why I am where I am. But I don’t want anyone else to die or be punished for my failures.
My family life is alright, but my career life is a joke, and it really bums me out. I had a good career and thought I was set in life, but I ended up losing it 5 years ago. Went back to school for cybersecurity and took on more debt, thinking I would recover, but I never really did. Now I work anywhere from 56 – 72 hours a week, and I live paycheck to paycheck. It really adds a lot of stress in my life, and I feel like a joke compared to the rest of my family.
Go outside, go for a walk. Wont help society but it might help how you feel for a bit.
Society is messed up, yes. I think many, if not most people, suck.
But wanting everyone to die is kind of messed up. Wanting your own existence to end is one thing, but wishing death on everyone, including people you don’t even know, sounds like it borders on psychopathy.

Sounds like you need therapy
I understand why you feel and think like this, and I’m guessing you don’t want to hear that this isn’t a healthy way to think or feel, but know that even if you can’t change society for the better, you can work to change yourself. I’m trying to do the same nowadays
Therapy can’t fix material living conditions! It doesn’t change poverty and oppression! People using therapy as advice are just avoiding how they can directly help you! This sucks! I’m sorry you’re in this situation!
Damn bro what did me and my family do to you??
Ok Thanos, therapy isnt that scary man.
No one is where they want to be at 24. You are still coming into adulthood. Keep your head up and keep working on small improvements. It will all work out.
Cool, well looks like you’re going to have to get therapy
Just remember humans weren’t built to love this modern life. We were built to hunt and gather in small groups. You’re not broken and tons of people feel this way
We are in “interesting times”. I’m an old lady and I don’t recall it ever being this fucked up. Last year felt like the 70s but this year is new territory. There’s a chance we will.have front row seats to the apocalypse, but every generation has said that for 2000 years. I can’t say when, but this will.pass. It always does and we will have good times again. Hang in there.
We will all.have to tighten our belts and hunker down at home. Have potluck game.nights with friends for fun like the old.days.
You will.learn ways to economize that will set you up.for a better.life later. You are young and strong and you will.survive to see happier times.
There’s no use for therapy if we live in a fucked up world. I go to therapy, I take meds, it’s impossible to be mildly normal about life. I get you, and tbh, if there isn’t a big revolution that’s for sure going to kill a lot of people to finally change the way we live, being alive will never be necessary.
Same bro … same!
Same dog I don’t wanna die I just feel this heavy wate of…. Soul crushing uh, sadness? Most days now. Can’t get a job, my chosen industry is a shitshow, (music) the worlds a mess.
I just try to appreciate the small things in life, and although that doesn’t stop the pain it makes it easier to deal with I guess.
Getting off of social media helps too.
