It's my 22 birthday today and I'm fucking depressed. I hate myself so much for having a kid at age 20. I love the kid but I literally fucked up my whole life and now I'm stuck. I regret not living my life to the fullest. Is there any advice? Any reason not to end it all?
>to the fullest
Most people don't. You are living an average life. There's nothing wrong with that.

Knowing that I have to die one day and that I could've done so many things with my life is what makes me depressed about living in average life

Many people go through this. Even people with better lives than us. It doesn't go away, but it becomes more muted. Easier to deal with, with time.
you still togheter with the mother? why not put it up for adoption

i felt this way during the first 2 years of my childs life too. i found ways to still get out and do things i enjoy, whenever i can get away, and it has helped considerably. when your kid starts getting old enough to communicate with you and show genuine interests in things it will get easier. you'll realize that their happiness makes you happy as well. its just hard when all they do is eat and shit and cry, and can't even walk or get beers out of the fridge for you.
are you still with the mother? i am, and i would not be anywhere near as good of a father if i was a single father.

If it makes you feel any better you're probably the kinda person who wouldn't have done anything meaningful anyways. At least you have a kid.
