I don't want to do anything

I know what you will all think "you're lazy" i know! I am 18 years old and have no incentive of doing anything, I play games all day, don't sleep until early morning (it's 9am right now and i haven't slept) my parents tell me to do something with my life, I want to do something with my life, i'm overweight but still buy things that are bad for me, I have no respect for myself, I don't care about my appearance, no job, nothing. I want to be motivated to do things in life, but the thought of going outside and meeting people makes me unsettled. I have no emotion, and it's horrible, I wish I did, really. What do you recommend for me? Do you think I should see a therapist? I want to improve my life but my mind is just stopping me.

I feel like my mind wants something seriously bad to happen to me then i'll finally wake up and do something about my life, for example serious health problems or something. I probably sound like a mental patient right now.

    I would make an appointment to see your dr...what you are describing sounds to me like a form of depression but it is good you are noticing this isn't how life should be for you which is a good start in order for you to reach out and get the help and support needed to gain a better quality of life.
    You mention feeling unsettled going out and meeting people which also could be a social anxiety disorder.
    You should not feel ashamed of feeling like this but the best thing you could do for yourself right now is to get the confidence and motivation just to go out and seek advice from your doctor, they deal with thousands of cases like this so it is nothing to be embarrassed by.
    Please seek help...no need to suffer in silence.
    I have suffered with anxiety all my life and it is amazing how many others do, you are not alone.

    The more you sit around the less motivation you'll have. Youre pretty much just wasting your life. I love my job its very rewarding I couldn't just sit in the house all day playing games eating rubbish and not giving a toss.

    Get up, get a job, meet people, make money, and make your life worth something.

    Sounds like depression. And for the emotion part, I'm pretty sure you have emotions. If you didn't, you wouldn't even give a damn about wanting to improve your life.

    My first suggestion to you is to change your sleeping schedule and just walk outside from time to time. Work on your health, it'll make you feel a bit better.

      Depression is likely, I'm currently in the process of losing my girlfriend of almost 2 years, but even during the relationship I didn't see true happiness, not because of her, she made waking up have a purpose, but because of all the other stuff I explained. I'll take your advice. I think my problem is I don't have any rules in my life, I should set goals like go to bed at a certain time everyday, eat this, go outside more, thanks for the advice.

    kid you are the normal one here among abnormal ones
    wanting to work is like wanting to be a paid slave
    people are sheep and follow the herd
    don't be stupid like them
    the only thing you need to change
    is your weight
    for your own health
    not for others
    your attitude is fine
    don't change it!

    Your probably suffering from depression. I know how bad it feels when being depressed and having lost all hope in life. You are not alone. I have suffered depression ever since my dad passed away. Try talking to someone you trust and maybe see a doctor. I hope you'll start feeling better soon.

    I swear you just described my life. I am going through same thing and I also wished about something bad happening to me and then waking up realizing that I was meant to do something in my life. Totally understand you! I wish someone could help me too:\
