Feeling unwanted and useless

I feel so lonely, and useless everyday, like I don't have a purpose in life anymore. I just can't shake this feeling for weeks now, any ideas?

You could consider volunteering. There are tons of opportunities out there. It would give you a good feeling that you are helping others. Hang in there you are not alone.

I agree with howard327. Volunteering is a great way to feel like part of the solution. To feel worthy and improve self esteem. Helping otters or supprtong, listening, giving advise, mentoring are all ways to get out of self obsession and focus on others instead of over thinking about ourselves. That's how this forum helps me.

- I would add to avoid social media and the trap of comparing yourself with others. That can be toxic

Good luck ✌️

good advice Meeasy on avoiding social media and comparison to others, it is poisonous...they say the comparison is the thief of joy Tired. Unless it doesn't bother you, avoiding 'sm' is wise, because we have a tendency to do lots of comparisons there with posts. Take care, I hope things look up.
