@yuunikki please schedule an appointment with a therapist because you are demonstrating signs of depression in your post/comment history. The internet is not qualified to be your therapist.
Talk to therapists and find a hobby. Do whatever you want. If you think something is meaningless but you like doing it. Do it. Try to live a life that bothers others the least. Help others if they ask for help.
I felt the same way, a therapist couldn't help me either, since I was just looking at the world realistically... It helped me to consume less news and to concentrate on my immediate environment, where I actually mean my actions can change something. For me it's mainly family, but of course it can also be a hobby or voluntary work, for example.
This is exactly the advice in Voltaire’s Candide. Cultivate your own garden, OP.
I did not know. I just read the story in the Wikipedia article, sounds really interesting. I also realized that compared to the time when this is set, our time is really relaxed. If you live in the western world and ignore climate change...
Maybe now you think they don't work, but I tell you from my personal experience they will.
Legitimately the best advice in this thread. Speaking from experience.
Hey with questions like this even the therapists need therapists.
proceeds to diagnose internet stranger with depression
Identifying signs of depression is not the same as diagnosis because it includes the causes. I don't care about OP enough to find out what is causing them to be depressed.
