Life has little meaning...

First post after joining some 8mths ago .

Hi to anyone who is reading.

Constantly in turmoil with my thoughts. I recently tried "Mindfulness", I felt some improvement in my mood... or did I ? Was I just kidding myself ?

Has anyone tried it, is it worth persevering with ? I feel my life is just a waste of time, keep asking myself what its all about......

I am just plodding on and putting on a huge façade to the outside world, no one is aware not even my family of how empty I feel. I have the deepest sigh stuck in my chest and it overwhelms me for most of the time.

Talk to someone. You don’t have to suffer alone. Have you seen a doctor?

Hi kazza3, i can get those feelings & thoughts too. If i keep busy & not sitting about over thinking things iam generally ok. Its good to talk on here & it can help.

I have taken Sertraline 100mg for over a year. I spoke to my doctor as I thought that I was having some kind of breakdown, although I did not mention most of the bizarre stuff that was in my head. It did initially take the edge off but I then spoke with a councillor...... which brought up stuff that I had shut away for years, which I had no wish to talk about.

I think that set me back as those feeling that came back are still with me.

I just wondered if anyone had found any help with the Mindfulness..... if I can make myself look at it again, thanks.

You not alone it’s always the same question what I’m doing in this life it’s not worth it it’s meaningless and waist of time and space, but listen to me it’s not true on this app we have thousands of people who are here and ready to support you !! You must have someone or something to live for and keep going don’t give up

what has you so beat down about yourself...is this something you feel from past experiences or is it due solely to depression. Finding the root of self esteem and self worth issues is helpful and then learning to live in the hear and now with mindfulness is helpful after that I think. Sometimes we have to peel the onion and expose the center of our issues and then learn to let go, and stay out of the past.
