This is probably the wrong site to ask but here goes
What do you live for? I'm not particularly depressed, but I've recently finished university and without a structured feeling of progress, I feel lost. I'm not religious, I don't have much in the way of hobbies, I'm not close to anyone, I don't really want kids, I'm emotionally distant so relationships don't really work for me.
I don't really know what I'm doing. I feel like I just live so that I don't die. Work for money, buy food/pay rent/etc, repeat. What keeps you going?
Like I said, not talking about stopping suicide, just motivation that moves you forward.
I feel this way all the time.
Medication helps.

I'm on Zoloft. I also drink. Been meaning to find a weed guy too.

Nothing anymore, but that's what happens when you invest in people.

If you're self medicating thusly and still feel that way, change meds. Maybe therapy, but if you're really intellectual about these feelings it's not going to work if you don't want to totally change your worldview.

I've been on zoloft for years and my drinking habits haven't changed. This is linked to my changing circumstances since leaving higher education and the resulting (excuse the wanky term) quarter life crisis. It's more about finding purpose than fighting off feelings of sadness. I just feel ennui.
