I Fight Depression and Loneliness Everyday

I am divorced now. No interest in being in a relationship ever again. Honestly, I feel like there is no meaning in my life anymore. I dont want to try. I'm feeling like I wish I could close my eyes and never wake up. I want nothing.
I am hurting so much... I just want this life to be over.

No one can really tell you how to deal with this as we are all different so all i can tell you is how i cope and hope it helps. I found i needed to find meaning for myself, hobbies and interests i could work at and look forward to. I also found great solace i helping others be it simply walking my sisters dogs so she had more time when getting home from work to joining a support group to help others with similar issues to myself. The other coping method i use is the simple one a lot of people say "take each day at i time". I get up focus on that day trying to find 1 thing to look forward too no matter how small it is (a tv show, cooking a nice meal, playing a fav cd, a nice soak in the bath etc) and go to bed. 馃
You are grieving. You will find meaning in time. Try to treat yourself gently for some time. Life will go on and so will you. Do you have family and friends? Please eat and rest and try to sleep. It will get better. Hang in there.

It will take some time for the initial pain to diminish. I鈥檓 sorry to say that you have to go through it, and bear it as best you can. You have age on your side. It still hurts terribly, but you have a future. When you are old, and it happens, there really isn鈥檛 much future. 馃
@Carissimi It is never too late. There are many people who find love even older than you. You just feel sunk.

I鈥檓 not arguing with you. It always goes like this. I know my life. I know me. You don鈥檛. Enjoy your evening. [@Poetry emotion]
@Carissimi Would you ever even give someone a chance? Your mind is set. Enjoy yours.

I wish there is an answer to your prayer. Everyone of us suffering the same feeling but in different situation. I don't have any wise advice or sharing method to cope depression and loneliness because I am also strunggling with my own issues too but it doesn't ending it all is the best thing either. To be strong, you have to get through it regarding you like it or not.

Do chores, get yourself busy. Never let that sorrow feeling get into your life not even a second.

How about sharing your thoughts and feelings with a caring, non-judgmental person? No relationship, just a human connection.
That's what I'VE been looking for. I have feelings very much like yours - that there's no meaning or purpose in life anymore. But I just feel that somehow it would or could be better if I just had someone to talk to who really GOT me.

I'm here if you'd like to talk.
