Are YOU happy?

I get this feeling every now and then, but I feel like it’s always lingering somewhere in my head. It’s the feeling of being worthless and being utterly disgusted with myself, and yet I’m aware that I haven’t done anything to change it. I sometimes think to myself “what’s the point of achievements when I’m just going to die in the end and nothing will even matter” yes that’s very dark I know, but that’s how I’ve been thinking for years. I’m just not motivated anymore and I sometimes feel like a soulless body that’s, moving, eating, breathing, sleeping and talking just because it has to. Don’t even get me started on waking up in the morning, if I had any sleep that is. All I know for sure is that I’m not happy, and I don’t know how to be happy.

Reading your post made me feel that i am not alone because as much as i hate to say “me too” i definitely feel and understand exactly what you mean. I’ve realized that i am an over-thinker witch i hate so much because my thoughts always end up going further into my head witch i tell you, is a dark place to be. I wish i was replying to ur post for a solution but sadly and i am sorry cuz all i can tell you is that you’re not alone in this 😔❤️ besides continuing to be the strong person you are today. i hope you, me and everyone who is suffering gets better.

I used to get really depressed thinking about the pointlessness of everything and now it's more mixed for me. Because if nothing means anything then that's pretty freeing because you can really do what you want to do and what makes you happy regardless of most consequences, or judgments because ultimately we all will die regardless. Also happy is just an emotion that will come and go like all the other emotions, I find that contentment is more lasting and for me, comes from doing what you want and what will bring you the most satisfaction moment to moment. I don't know, hopefully that helps.
