I have the same problem. Life is utterly boring. Going through every day is torture. I can't imagine of a hobby I would enjoy

I feel exactly the same I've been living some kind of mind numbingly robotic existence for years and I'm just so tired of it!

I've talked in 2 threads yesterday about anhedonia, which could be what everyone here is experiencing:
If the OPs of those threads, @anonymousapple & @overwhelming, would like me to remove these links, i'll do it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, here they are, both have some insightful replies about this issue, i think it would be good to give it a read.
As for the problem @JoeFailure mentioned, i think it could be related to this as well, as in, life can be overwhelming when we don't have the energy to deal with it.
It just so happens that in both of these threads this is touched on too, as it's common for people with depression and/or anhedonia to be very tired all of the time.
I hope this can help all of you guys out, we're together on this one, and i hope from the bottom of my heart that all of us can pull through.

Watch a movie or series. Talk to a friend if you have. Listen to music. If your reason to ctb is because life is boring you can solve it. Do sth with your life. Wish you the best

Stop trying. Give them some fish and chips and enjoy watching the mess.
I'm never bored. I have loads of comic books to read, for example.

Maybe you could try supplements like tyrosine or dl-phenylalanine, they increase dopamine and might help with anhedonia.

Sounds like anhedonia, alright. I've been struggling with it for a few years now. The only escape I have is listening to music, but I don't know for how long; even alcohol or soft drugs don't do that much. Last night though, I picked up a farming sim since I really liked that genre as a child, and it wasn't exhilarating, but it was an OK distraction for a few hours. So, perhaps doing something you used to enjoy as a child might work (even if temporarily)?
I don't know if you're trolling or trying to help in your own way but it comes across as very disrespectful.

Hello. New user, here.
I must say, I agree. Life is boredom. I know psychopathological theory and those who espouse it see this as an understanding of life that stands to be corrected, whether by hobby-finding, therapy or some form of medication, etc. (and you also have the purveyors of pop-psychology who would refer you to Mazlow's hierarchy). If you find life to be unsatisfying, you mustn't be doing it right, or so they'll tell you.
That's fine. Those states of being which are seen to be disorders are seen as such because that's what reflects a societies mores. That's why the contents of the DSM have changed over time (e.g. homosexuality was once a disorder found in the DSM). But how sound can the moral attitudes of a society be considered to be, at any one time?
Many of us are here as refugees, driven off of platforms that quashed the expression of pro-choice sentiment with respect to suicide. In theory, we should be open to the idea that the promoted value systems that shape our engagements with the world and with each other might not be especially well-founded. Yet, we seem flippant about certain forms of disaffection. I doubt we'd appreciate receiving such flippancy from other, less tolerant platforms, regarding whatever we consider to be legitimate disaffection (which surely tends to be any form of disaffection we might express). So why should we come here and further impose on each other?
Anyway, my approach to dealing with the dread of being alive, as a human on Earth, is to pursue something else. Post-humanity, and an existence off-world, for instance. And I intend to undertake this endeavor all by myself. Now, I realize that the probability of me being able to achieve what I would hope to is, by most or all metrics, so close to zero that it effectively is. But at least I'll always be learning. And if I'm indeed pursuing the impossible, I'll have something to occupy me for the rest of my days. But if my ambitions, by some severely anemic chance, happen to pay off, I'll be living a life that we're taught to stop dreaming of while we're still too young to grasp how monumentally full of shit so very many of the people teaching us actually are.
