>>16382788This is what I mean when I call you a drama queen. How can you say you've "failed at life" when you're fucking 22?
Maybe you ARE depressed, maybe your situation is quite different then the read I've gotten on it, maybe you are clinically depressed and medication might help you. Especially if there's a family history. If you mentioned that earlier, I must have missed it. I advised against medication because antidepressants are hard drugs, and you seem to be capable of functioning without them.
My point was that EVERYONE goes through a brief existential crisis, in early adulthood, when they realize that their hopes/expectations about the real world and adult life were not quite realistic, their dreams will take more work than they expected, relationships are harder and less immediately satisfying than expected, etc etc.
That doesn't mean nobody is ever happy, it certainly doesn't mean everyone wants to die. It just means you might have to adjust your expectations a bit, just like everyone else.
This is especially common (and severe) in your generation, everyone's raised with too much television and entertainment, too many unrealistic images of what adult life is supposed to be like. And this whole push from parents and educators that everyone is supposed to be "special," everyone's supposed to do something big and remarkable and attention-getting. With all that shit filling your head from infant-hood onwards, yeah, I can imagine that reality must be hitting you like a brick wall.
But you will get past it. You'll adjust to things the way they really are, and you'll learn how to be happy. It's not instantaneous and you're never going to have a sitcom life, but it is way too fucking early for you to decide that life isn't worth living.
