Life feels pointless

[Human]

Recently I've been pretty depressed... Life feels pointless to me. I know that when I'm out of school I'm not going to be free, I'm going to be working my ass off for the next 50 years gaining nothing really. I've been having bad thoughts as well recently, not specifically suicidal although sometimes I've thought that it would be better to get rid of myself now than be a waste of space (not really seriously considering killing myself though). Bad thoughts as in, there's nothing to do so I might as well do this, or break the law, or whatever.
Help D:

I know it seems like things are hopeless a lot of times, that they are pointless and that there's no point in even existing. But there is. You have a life to live--live it the fullest that you can. Life can be very rewarding, but you have to work to make it that way. If you just give up, and make stupid decisions, you're going to regret it. Because those decisions will have an impact on the rest of your life, whether you think they will or not. We're all here for you on VT, and we know how you feel as well as anyone else--many of us have felt that way before. If you ever need to talk, we're more than willing to help.

I know the feeling man, I really do. You've just gotta fight those thoughts. You don't have to work your ass off to gain nothing if you don't want to. You could work your ass off and gain something. I've been suicidal, and I know it's not fun, but there's so much beauty out there man, you should give yourself a chance to go out and see it.

You might want to bring this up the next time you're at the doctor. My depression started off pretty mild, but eventually it got pretty bad. Don't let it get bad. There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help.

You can always message me (or tons of other people here) if you need to talk, even if it's just to vent. You might be surprised how much talking helps.

This. I'm always here to vent to for anyone.

I know how you feel at the moment, but remember that there are things in life that aren't pointless; falling in love, holding your firstborn child in your arms, just having fun and spending time with your friends, etc. Yes, you might be working for the next 50 years of your life, but who says it needs to be for nothing? You can do whatever you want to do, as long as you put the work in! Don't break the law because that will make your life pointless, especially if you'll go to jail or get a criminal record or whatever.

Hope you start feeling better soon :)
