Discussion Life is unexciting

[restingplace]

Anyone else just get a sense of dread thinking about continuing life?

I don't feel excited about any prospect of life. Even the things that anyone would be happy about like settling down with a family and travelling. To me it's just an endless circle of never being able to achieve what I want to and constantly being let down. I am well aware that life isint meant to be all good and that doesn't bother me, I just hate the idea of repeating the same routine every day, having to work my arse of at work and try my best to get the qualifications I need as someone who isint awfully smart. I used to want to go into the field of criminal psychology but after talking about it with some friends I've come to the conclusion that I'm not passionate about anything anymore.

How do you guys view the cycle of life? Is it a continuous cycle for you or something entirely diffirent?

I feel the same way.

depending on how suicidal I feel I find myself at different levels of content.

At the height of my depressive episodes I question why we slave away to a society that will forever uphold the 1% just to never get what they have.

my general feeling is that all I yearn for is stability, no major life events. I just want to live a "normal" life or sustainable life. I want to be healthy, have a family, do the things I love. If I have to have a job I want my job to be something I love like art. Knowing that I dont have this sends me into intense spirals.

Same, I can't imagine having to do this for another 50-60 years

I always have so much dread for what lies ahead, I'll personally always find it so dreadful to exist, I just wish to be non-existent and I find it completely undesirable to exist in every way. It's just so horrible to me how a human can be burdened with this existence for so long suffering all for the sake of it with no limit as to how much agony they can feel just to be tortured by old age, I'd personally never wish for this existence and what I ultimately have a problem with is existence itself, I wish I could just simply choose to cease existing in peace and never suffer ever again.

I see the cycle of life as a horrific tragedy. This is a cycle that must be stopped asap

To me life can be so repetitive and torturous. Just having to go through the pain of waking up, going to sleep, brushing teeth is so tiring to do every day. And if I try to do something that excites me it often gives me feel inmense pressure and fear cus of it having a the risk of failure or disappointment with things like unintentionally hurting people then them leaving me or the activity gets boring and exhausting. Life to me is either a torturous slog that I want to end as soon as possible or a gamble to potential feel better for a bit or become even worse than what I felt before.
