Im not depressed at all, actually been in a decent mood for months, lifes been good. And I will not ever off myself, not my thing and have a weird belief system about it.
But, and I was talking to someone else who feels the same, I wish something would happen and I would just die already. Ive had a fun and interesting life. I dont really wanna do anything, Im not a traveller, no family, absolutely not a volunteer kind of guy and pretty much just finished. I mean the obvious reason I stay is Gazoo, but other than that I am pretty pumped for the end and hey, maybe something comes after, maybe not. I just kinda want off this ride now. Granted, Ill probably live to be 100 and fuckity years old now--bah

When a person applies this option and sticks to it,....its actually pretty cool

Actually I feel this way a lot. Just tired and bored with what life has to offer.

Find something that makes you look forward to tomorrow.
Maybe a goal like improving your squat.
Maybe get a dog to take care of.

nono its not that i dont look forward to it, I like lifting again, throwing darts, hanging with the dog, all good stuff. But Im fine if it all ended now. I guess i should have worded it better. Im happy with shit but kinda wanna move on from this particular world

Yes, I am the same.
Except that I'm somewhat younger than you (38).
So I have not yet accepted it fully/have mixed feelings about life ending for me just now.

Satan is filling your head with lies from the pit of hell. Don't listen.
A lot of people feel this way at times as the years grind on but you can overcome it.

ya at 38 it hadnt crossed my mind at all, but 17 years ago the world was probably a better place. It really kicked in for me at or just after 50. The thing I like about it, a lot, is that theres no anxiety or fear or worry or anything like it in me anymore. Its not some tough guy act, it just seemed to naturally go away.

I can understand. I sold a company some years back, one that I started and spent 24/7/365 building. Then one day i wanted out and sold it. Made gobs of money. What I didn't expect was the depression that set in days later. It was inexplicable. There I was- never having to work a day in my life ever again- and I felt hopeless.
It took a few years to break free of it. I had gotten so focused on building that company that I no longer felt I had a purpose. It was a very dark time.
I finally got out of it by going off in a completely new direction. I'll skip the details but I ended up breaking every rule I ever had lived by. I never hurt anyone or anything, mind you, but I was out to recreate myself. The journey took me all over the world. Got me into situations I never thought I'd get out of. What a rush, haha. And it worked. I felt like I had been reborn.
Now I'm on version 3. I am starting a farm. I know jack shit about farming, but I love animals and being outside. Going from being a tech guy to a business guy to now- an animal guy. Each day is new. Each day is different. And each day- I have no fucking idea how it will go. But I feel alive yet again.
I now can understand why children are so full of energy and happy. It's because everything is new. They have no past, very few memories and no preconceived notions of what the world is. It's all one big game to play.

thats awesome how you went out of your comfort zone and pursued new things
Love the farm idea, hope you have a goat and a donkey
-
I'm starting it with my son. Two goats and 50 lambs already! Can't get a donkey right now because they are not compatible with his sheep dog (the donkey will kill dogs). He has a Great Pyrenees, like the one pictured. One of the most loveable dogs I have ever seen- and yet he will protect the sheep ferociously:

is this North America? I will leave for there tomorrow!!
-
It's in South Carolina! My son owns a tech biz I helped him start but he has always wanted to be a farm boy. I have no idea where he got that from. Anyways he bought land and now it's pasture and his sheep graze on it. We are in the process of buying more land nearby and when that goes through we will double the herd because the business requires a bit of scale to work.
It will be a completely organic operation. No pesticides, no hormones, and all free range. It's incredibly detailed though- you have to know the grass type, how long they can feed on it, the parasites that can kill sheep- very complicated if you want it to work.
One of the things that drew me to it was being on his land one day and seeing all the hawks flying by- huge wingspans, and majestic. It was an image of freedom that most never see.

A few weeks ago when arguing against the vaccine you told me you were a professional "chemist". Now you're a farmer?
Which one is it?
🙄

You have reached a state of "content". You are content with everything in your life right now so if it ends, it's on a good note. Which actually isn't a bad attitude to have.

Get huge and ripped and throw hands with Bhank at Mr. Getbig 2022.

lol Howard- you are too much, hahaha. Just to educate you, believe it or not, you can actually do than more than one thing in your life. Take for example your career as a "farter". If you work at it, you can be a "shitter" too!

life without hope is dead.
'death' is infinitely worse than life.
the damned - moments of torment... before the terror:
Sir Francis Newport allowed his name to be used on a brand of cigarettes. On his deathbed he cried out: “Oh eternity. Oh eternity”. And he uttered a groan of inexpressible horror as a cried out, “Oh the insufferable pains of hell, forever, forever.
Sir Walter Scott the skeptic said: “Until this moment I thought there was neither a God nor a hell. Now I know that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of the Almighty.”
Adams, the infidel said: “I’m lost, lost, lost. I am damned forever.” His agony was so great that as he died, he tore the hair from his head.
Thomas Paine, one of America’s great patriots, in his book: “The age of reason” ridiculed the Christian religion. He slowly lost his friends. He left America and while in England came to a premature death. On his deathbed he said to a friend ‘I would give worlds if I had them, if the ‘Age of Reason’ had never been published. Oh Lord help me. Christ help me. You stay with me. It is hell to be left alone.”
H.G. Wells, historian and the ‘apostle of modernism’, and a determined atheist: “Here I am at age 64, still searching for peace of mind. It is a hopeless dream
Queen Elizabeth I, grabbed her physician by the sleeve and pulled him down over her bed and said: “Half of the British Empire for six month of life.” He could not even give her six minutes,and she died.
Charles Darwin, on his deathbed: “I regret that I suggested a theory, and that gullible men gobbled it up, as though it were fact. I never intended that.
Sir Julian Huxley, English evolutionist, biologist and staunch atheist, on his deathbed: “So it is true after all, so it is true after all.”
Voltaire, one of history’s best known atheists, often stated that “by the time I’m buried, the Bible will be non-existent.”
His last words were: “I am abandoned by God and man; I shall die and go to hell alone.” His condition had become so terrible that his associates were afraid to approach his bedside, and as he passed away, his nurse said that for all of the wealth in Europe, she would never watch another infidel die.
Talleyrand (called the most brilliant mind of his generation) when asked about his condition while on his deathbed replied: “I am suffering the pangs of the damned.
Clarence Darrow, the Scopes Trial lawyer in the famous 1925 debate, while on his deathbed asked several clergymen to “please intercede for me with the Almighty. During my life I have spoken many times against Christians, and I now realize that I may have been wrong.
Nietzsche, well known atheist, and tard, who had great influence on Adolph Hitler, went insane during the last few years of his life. We can only speculate what his last words may have been, but they were surely horrific.

Trust me on this,back in the day when I was drinking and drugging heavy,my life was so miserable that if I didn`t wake up I could give two hits.
Actually I took 97 OTC sleeping pills in an effort to end my less than stellar existance.....never fell asleep ....not a wink but hallucinated for over 24 hours.....had a good mind to write the company and tell them that their take 2 for a safe and restful nights sleep could kiss my ass.
Tell you about the hallucinations at another time......very trippy and very fuckin scary.
Been through a lot.....105 degree temperature with Hepatitus B for 7 days in the hospital.....106 % is death.....didn`t give a fuck then either.
Lost 40 pounds due to Colotis......I`m not big so losing 40 pounds had me looking wraithlike.
Flash forward a couple year ago.....lung CANCER...........scared shitless....I have no money and am poorer than Josh,but dammit I wanted to live so bad I threw away my doubt in God and prayed like a bitch......now it`s in remission and I thank God many times over during the course of every day.
When you die,it`s finito like a squirell who got hit by a car......lights out motherfacker.
All the younger guys here would say,I dont care if I die who wants to be 60 or 70.....well smarten the fuck up cuz if you reach those ages you`re still the same cat you always were, just older....you will not want to die trust me unless you are in contant pain from a debilitating diease.
Hey Josh if you kill yourself,`ll fucking kill you. ;D

That's what i have been doing for the last 5-6 years.
It's amazing.
My life is 100 times better today than when i was working my life away for big oil.
It's all about perspective.
Most humans struggle with it.
Every day feels like vacation to me.
No worries, no stress, no drama.

I understand what you mean I’ve said for a while I don’t give a fuck how long I live as long as see my kids through childhood while they need me, after that I don’t care and would like it to come sooner rather than later.

Hell is not being able to or not wanting to kill oneself while life is intolerable too! You are caught in a nightmare. :'( :D
I think the OP mentioned being on a mood stabilizer. These can cause emotional dulling or numbness. You don't care if you live or die. Of course bipolar kills too.

I`m still depressed also......can`t remember a time in my life when I wasn`t except for fleeting periods.
Been on almost everything at one time or another..........the only thing that made me feel OK was taken off the market years ago due to people dying from liver complications.
Can`t remember the name of it.....long time ago,but I acttually felt balanced unlike my normal mentally unbalanced self. :D

paxil and divalproex
not depressed
since ive stuck to probiotic, vitamins b,c and d and omega 3 fish oil things have been ok

I know your right mate and will probably find something else to occupy time when it comes around just can’t shake the feeling there’s nothing left after this but then again I though life may as well be over when first found out was having first kid so guess can come around to idea of most things haha
-
Yeh, often wish I was dead. Life for me is very unfulfilling
-
-
Don't think so much.
-
Yes..I often feel this way. I would like to see my kids grow up.. retirement will be fun I think..it's a mixed bag for me. I hate what American has become...that really gets me down though
-
nono its not that i dont look forward to it, I like lifting again, throwing darts, hanging with the dog, all good stuff. But Im fine if it all ended now. I guess i should have worded it better. Im happy with shit but kinda wanna move on from this particular world
🤔 Hmmmm - Yes I kind of feel that way , mainly because I don’t feel like I fit in with the world politics & opinions. More to the point I won’t & don’t want to fit in with the ever increasing Lefty/PC madness,
Fuck Them.
Ha, That’s why I stay & Fight Back / Rebel best I can in my own small way - I hope I live long enough to see the uprising & revolution/ civil war - so many out there that Need getting rid of .

I hear ya haha. I’ll say having kids is the most depressing thing in the world. I don’t mean it the way it sounds as I love my kids more than anything but watching them grow so quick is depressing and quite sad as it just dates you quickly and you realize at some point you don’t matter anymore.

Bad feelings and bad times don't last forever. You have to learn to ride out the bad times. Live your life in cliches. It's always darkest before dawn. If you have food and a roof over your head you a way ahead of millions on earth.
Read the book Spark by psychiatrist John Ratey. It's a bit dry but he points out how aerobic type exercise is good for the brain and mood. That has been know for a long time. Get some ear buds and go for a long walk every day. Bet you will feel better when you get home. An hour fast walk is like medicine
If all is lost buy a wave runner. I guarantee you can't frown riding one. If it seems hopeless seek out professional help.

I saw on TV about how exercise along with mental stimulation at the same time is particularly good for the brain. So do some aerobics while listening to podcasts was what was suggested in the program.

I listen to music when I walk but I find many times I'm lost in my thoughts. The music at times is ignored. I wrote a short book that I wrote for my granddaughter. About 200 pages. A chapter of what I hope would be entertaining fiction and chapters about my life that were non fiction. I got great ideas while walking.

I completely agree mate you describe perfectly the point they are now only seeing them when they emerge from their rooms for food. Feel like it’s gone by way too fast and kind of wish can live in those magical early years of their lives forever
-
As long as I’m healthy I’d prefer living.
This. I don't fear dying, but I am afraid of becoming seriously ill. Fortunately, Oregon has the death with dignity act. So, should that happen, I would have to option to end my life within the provisions of the law.

Hang in there long enough and you can go through it again with grandkids. I raised a son and money was tight and I couldn’t buy him as much as I wanted to.By the time I got financially secure he was grown.So along comes a grandson a few years ago and I take him to Walmart for a new toy every time I see him.His mom gets on me and I don’t care.

Retirement is great. It gives me the freedom to decide each day what I want to do as opposed to what I had to do. It helps to have a decent retirement income.
Don't let the things you cannot control get you down.

I hear ya haha. I’ll say having kids is the most depressing thing in the world. I don’t mean it the way it sounds as I love my kids more than anything but watching them grow so quick is depressing and quite sad as it just dates you quickly and you realize at some point you don’t matter anymore.
You probably matter to your kids.

Hang in there long enough and you can go through it again with grandkids. I raised a son and money was tight and I couldn’t buy him as much as I wanted to.By the time I got financially secure he was grown.So along comes a grandson a few years ago and I take him to Walmart for a new toy every time I see him. His mom gets on me and I don’t care.
...And if you live to be as ancient as I am, you'll also enjoy your great-grandkids. I have three. BTW, grandparents are supposed to spoil their grandchildren it a rule cast in stone.
