You are wrong. I do understand, I've been there too. The difference between us is; when I was at my lowest, I was always looking for a way to improve my situation - despite how horrible I felt. I wouldn't allow myself to wallow in self pity. And you know what; it worked!
So, when I read self-pitying posts like this one, I can't help but shake my head. The poster probably doesn't even realize they are being overly dramatic - which seems to be a huge problem for a lot of people these days. Maybe it's all of the information in the media (movies, ads, TV, news), sending out the message that it's almost cool to be depressed and to feel disconnected. A perfect example of this phenomena run wild is the Emo kids - "Oh, woe is me. I'm depressed."
People have to start taking control and responsibility for the status of their own lives and feelings. Our emotional state of mind is like a finicky plant; we have to enrich it with good things if we want it to survive and thrive. If you find yourself thinking, "Holy fuck, I hate my life." then change it. Change may not happen over night, but if you keep at it, it'll happen eventually. You have decades upon decades to fix things, there is always a chance to change.
Yes, my comment was trite, but sometimes I think that's all the OP deserves. It's better than writing: "Give me a fucking break!"
Is it normal to have no interest in life ?
