Life seems dull and purposeless.

I no longer want to live. It feels as if there are no new beginnings for me, I have nothing to look up to. I don't have friends, my parents are happy and can live happily after me with my sister, my sister has her boyfriend. And I have no one.

And I have no purpose left now. I want to go somewhere very far away from all this.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear this; how scary this feeling must be for you! I would strongly urge you to tell your parents. You deserve to feel okay.

Hi Akanksha-Verma,I ca n understand your feeling alone and depressed ,and your family appear happy, but are you being fair inasmuch as you are or seem to be either blaming or are envious.....When I was living at home and there were 8 siblings -one of them me,I felt similiar and there was no time for parents to show they care Im of I talian stock-------I dont wish to go into my life story ,but I do feel you have to find a purpose for living,by expressing yourself in other ways,maybe music,art,whatever interests you have and of course try to learn to care for yourself ,learn to know and like yourself-------------I spent too many years avoiding life in fact I dreaded life was suicidal ---my older sister spent half her life in mental hospital as she had a break-down at 18yrs.....and never recovered ----we can spend too much time worrying via Anxiety among other things----sorry to ramble!
