How do you know when you're depressed?
I'm having suicidal thoughts more regularly. I have no ambitions anymore and feel like I'm just floating along. I feel like my life has no direction and anything I could want is out of my reach because of who I am/my personality/my anxiety. I don't know how to fix this or if it's serious enough to see a mental health professional. I don't know if I'm "sad" or something serious is going on.
I've also been having about 5 or 6 drinks a night, 7 days a week.
Get a one week vacation from your work, go somewhere nice and don't use your phone or drink or smoke weed. Being sober the first few days will suck, and you'll probably get really emotional/suicidal, but at the end you should be able to think clear and begin to work on yourself. Working out consistently is your best bet. Probably 5 days, if you do an EOD full body routine you will just think it's ok to drink on your off days and fuck yourself hard getting plastered and taking too long to recover. Try testosterone too.

I already work out consistently. Only goes so far.
I just took a job in which I'm making near six figures.
I'm just an empty, incredibly flawed person.
If you're having thoughts of suicide then yes it's serious enough.

What the anon above me said. Stop thinking it will go away on its own and seek professional help if you're having suicidal thoughts and your drive has gone away.

Ever though about taking up a hobby? Learning to play an instrument perhaps. It helped me with the emptiness feeling and gave me some self-worth.

I stopped going because I felt too insignificant to be seeing one
