Help How to have energy to do things when you know nothing will be good and you will die anyway

[elelel08]

I'm in my last year of highschool, after this I have basically no reason to live. I don't have the energy to be a normal human, to go to work, to go to parties, etc. I find nothing enjoyable. I tried having a summer job and quit on the first day not even going because I was too lazy and afraid.

I skipped school today because I woke up late like always. I want to focus academically and be that good student, but there is no point with my mindset. Thankfully I still think some things are enjoyable like playing ROBLOX and chew spitting candy, but even that is getting mundane(?). In the back of my mind I know there is of course a chance I will still live a pretty long life, even to just 30, and therefore I have to do things like go to school, but I just don't want to. I'm so fucking lazy and privileged sorry.

Have you seen a psychiatrist? I feel like a lot of people who feel lazy have ADHD or depression.

You don't know for a fact that nothing will be good. You are a teenager in high school. Possibility is waiting for you. Talking with a psychologist and psychiatrist would be good to do.

I have depression kind of diagnosed but I hate therapists and all that. I think either you live and don't complain or die (mindset only toward me).

It's connected to my eco anxiety, so yes everything will get worse.

That question often runs in the back of my mind all the time. I sometimes wish an apocalypse could happen

Why I have been on antidepressants for so long
..so I can get out of bed and barely tolerate this existence.

You're not "lazy and privileged" at all. Just aware. Aware that it's all pointless.

i'll be honest, i'm 21 and it hasn't gotten better for me. i can't find a job, or i'm too anxious and skip interviews on purpose because it terrifies me. i can't afford to go back to school, i can't afford to buy groceries and have been barely scraping by on like $1 frozen meals. there's nothing else for me in life, i think that's just what happens with certain people. for context, i have an autism diagnosis, and i don't have anyone to help me. this is going to be my life until i'm brave enough to ctb. for what it's worth, you should still try, so you don't end up like me.
