Is it normal that i can't stop thinking depressing things, it's ruining my life

Here are some of the depressing things I've been thinking about:

1. One day, eventually, I will die. The fact that it will inevitably happen makes me sad and makes me wonder what the point is in life.

2. I don't want to live forever, but I don't really want to die.

3. There is no point of having a good time, we are going to die eventually

4. I don't want to grow old. Even the prospect of me no longer being a teenager eventually (i'm 19), but I don't want to die young.

I know everyone thinks these things, but I constantly think this, all the time! Especially number 3, I think this every time I do something that is even remotely fun or entertaining to me.

I no longer have any friends. I've been diagnosed with depression, but it's never been as bad as this. Despite the "no point to life" theme I still want to go out there and live life, have fun, but soon after I start thinking "there's no point, we all die in the end". IIN?

Is It Normal?

  • You'll grow out of this. I used to think like this. Life goes on after we pass. Just relax and enjoy yourself. You need to be around people who love you and do something fun just take one day at a tome and don't thunk of tomorrow and ear good food etc simple things

    • So true you need to absorb the fact that your alive and that you wakeup everymorning its not like you have a death call sure you might die young but there is nothing wrong with that as long as you die happy Life is sweet and short but thats the point luv life starting by luving yourself! Life ends quicker for some of us then others but the point isnt how long you live its how you live!

  • You need to get out of that mindset life is what you make it and thinking like that, you are right you might as well give up now and save yourself the trouble or you can go out everyday and promise to never leave the world how you found it.

  • wow i think the same but not as often as you, people keep saying lifes too short to waste so live it to the fullest and have funn. Basically it is said or iv been taught that we(humans) are just here visiting earth as we learn to grow and find out who we truly are.

  • To summarise the comments above:
    Don't worry about the destination.
    Just worry about having a good journey.

  • "There's no point"
    But where would you rather be? Out there having fun and having a good time? Or sitting here, talking to us losers about how depressed you are?

    Sure, there is no point, but there doesn't need to be. This is here. This is now. And you are here, but you'd rather be there. So go there!

    We're all going to die, we're all basically on a journey to death, but I for one would rather have a good journey than a miserable one.

  • When you die, you will still be in a place much like where you live.
    Do you really want to die and have no friends and no fun?
