I’m 49 and retired at 42 after working overseas in oil for 20 years. I don’t need money. I don’t need more things. I have spent at least the last 6 years either being clinically depressed as diagnosed by my psychiatrist and GP. I was put in mirtazpaine but isn’t really very good. I suffer with osteo arthritis which my hip is in chronic pain. I use certain CBT products and vallium to help sleep and a help with pain. Plus I feel soothed by it. I am completely lost in life. I have no idea why I feel so bad for all these years. I don’t understand what the point of me is anymore. I don’t have any friends anymore and my gf left me a few years ago. Sometimes I just cry non stop all day. I also think what it might be like if I’m not here anymore. I never believed that I would be in this position in my life,

My heart breaks reading this! It sounds as though you are suffering from clinical depression and could use some help from mental health care providers. GPs are typically not trained in dealing with chronic depression or even treatment resistant depression. Therapy and medication management is often needed. If you are still having bad thoughts of self harm, or not wanting to live, Please contact the National Suicide Hotline. 🙏

@@LevelheadedMind thank you for your lovely words. Yes my psychiatrist is actually very good. U feel better after talking with her but it lasts for a week maximum at which point I can feel all these negative feelings and thoughts coming to the forefront. I seem to experience very low lows. It’s indescribable if I honest. Plus the daily pain from my hip is wearing me down. I don’t feel like I used to at all. Its as if I’m not me anymore. I was quite outgoing and very athletic but since I left my job I have experienced many “bad things” such as the things I have mentioned in my OP. My life is on a downward spiral if I’m honest. Also my life has been revolves around attaining financial success and security do I am self reliant. This is what is expected off me in my culture as being the eldest son so now as I have aged I domt know what to do to improve, since everything I have done is about generating wealth and security. I’m actually lost in life.

Its odd to me that excessive sadness, or depression is viewed as something that needs to be fixed. While excessive happiness is considered good mental health. The idea that happiness equates to wellness is absurd imo. Our emotions rather, "good" or "bad" are ultimately meaningless. They exist only to be experienced by the individual.
