Yeah... especially then. Like I see each day an inch closer to our inevitable calling. Sometimes, it comes to my mind that there's no need to pursue that nothing matters anymore... Those kind of dark thinking... But I keep battling it that I should not think that way because I should not really put an effort of such stuff but why? But why I keep coming thinking about it like it was a habit that it is hard to break... Do you think this is just ordinary? Or I need to consult some professional already to get rid of such...

I think it has something to do with the things that is happening in our country nowadays but we must overcome any fear to be able to go on with our daily life. If it really bothers you so much. I think it is better that you seek help from professional just like what I did and it helps

Yeah... I don't know though if they could help me my mind seems stubborn... But once I can't battle it no more I might try to consult... Glad I have such a nice family that keeps me holding on....

@simplfred Yes. I agree with you. Family can really be a great help. A prayer everyday can also help

@m_audrey6788 I agree... My problem is that I am not that religious like I feel like lost with regards with faith...

Would reading a novel, getting a hobby like gardening get your mind off this train of thought. It is the beginning of depression IMO but you can still fight it. Being on meds is harder but if it get to that point, yes there is that option.

@simplfred Your poetry is your outlet I believe which is very nice. Art and literature and hobbies will get us through in life

Hope you can get out of this dark funk. Have a nice drink, write a journal and relax.

I believe you're in trouble. Worse if it's self-pity. You have a family, haven't you? Think about them.

We all feel low once in a while. Try to do something you're interested in, like listening to your favorite music, reading a good book, talk to your good friends, do some exercises or just go out for a walk. If you feel depressed continuously, seek professional help.

Then it's a kind of expression of your negative thoughts. Try doing some exercises.
