I Want to Die, I Have Nothing to Live For

I don’t understand what’s wrong with me. But for the past few weeks I have been feeling really depressed and really wanting to end my life. I haven’t acted on it recently but I have really dark thoughts and I keep thinking that everyone’s happy except for me. I keep making jokes about my death as a way of coping better.

Well, I can tell you for a fact that everyone isn't happy. So I hope that helps you feel a bit better. Depression is an epidemic here in the US. Most of the depressed people you meet generally don't show it. If we met on the street, you would think that I'm the happiest person you've ever met because I always have a huge dumb smile on my face and am constantly joking around but the truth is, I feel very isolated and alone. Might be why I'm here. 🤔 People who are happy generally create purpose in their lives to drive that motivation. Hobbies, passionate careers and even rewiring the way that you think really helps. Helping people and volunteering my time is really rewarding as well and gives me a purpose.
