I feel like I don't want to go on

Like, I wish I could just die, too
I have never felt more alone in my life.
I can just imagine the responses:
"you don't mean that",
"don't say that" or worse yet
" you gotta move on"
Just how does one move on? Because someone tells you to?
I do know what I mean- it's just taboo to say it out loud.
If I don't express these thoughts it won't make the thoughts go away, they'll still crash over me like waves of insanity.
I'm depressed -I just want to sleep and not wake up.
But, yet I am not suicidal...
I just don't know how to move on
I don't know how to want to live

I want to be able to express these thoughts and be understood and not be scolded.
I don't want stupid pat answers or those lacking in understanding or empathy.
I don't want a lecture or verbal tripe disguised as advice.
I don't know exactly what I want ,but I know I don't want the above.
Empathy, understanding from someone who has gone through this and found a way- maybe ?
Or even someone who's going through it now and understands what I'm feeling? Perhaps.

I was in your exact shoes not that long ago.
I laid in bed thinking this same stuff for three years straight.
Then to boot I had this crazy crushing anxiety.

You want to know the easy way to move on?
Tell your doctor, not a shrink, about this.
He will give you pills designed to make you happy again.
Chances are you will just need that little boost for a few months and then back to normal.

There is no shame in getting help.
I know there is a huge stigma about mental health and blah blah blah.
But it only will bother you until you feel the relief.

Good luck.

@Dainbramadge I do appreciate your concern I don't take pills.
I had a very bad few years of depression where I did take medicine it was the only time I made a suicide plan and I will never take medications for mental reasons again.
I'm not saying they don't help some people they're just not for me.
