How to feel better mentally..?

So, I feel like I don’t want to do anything with my life. I know I’m lazy. I just really don’t care about anything. I didn’t ask to be here, so why should I have to work to contribute to society..? I know that’s probably a dumb outlook, but something I wrote last night I feel like sums up how I’m feeling:
Life at the moment is like a bad movie. I really want to leave, but I respect the people who created the movie and put so much work in it to leave. So therefore, I’ll stare at the screen, but I’ll put no effort in to change my experience. I’m also too scared to leave. What will other people think? Will I miss an amazing last-second plot twist that makes the ending amazing? That’s the only reason I’ve been sticking around at this show called life right now.

Does anyone have any advice? I just feel unmotivated and not passionate enough to care about anything/ anyone.

When I struggled with depression and dark thoughts I found a small blip of happiness and decided to run with it. I found a passion and it ignited a new world for me. Like a light switch was flipped on to the world for me.

It wasn't easy and the effort I put forth was biblical but I'm here now a completely different person and I've never looked back. Can't even understand how I loved the way I did before!

One day you'll just have a moment and in that moment just throw caution to the wind and run with it.

It saved me.

@Teggy I’m happy to hear you’re doing so well. I just can’t seem to find anything that makes me want to throw caution to the wind.

@marilynmichelle keep taking risks and going out in the world. It'll fall in your lap.

Take up yoga or a more physically demanding route get those feel good hormones flowing first. You might be surprised.
