Though with your level of depression, I would recommend visiting a professional and not relying on random people you meet online.

But, not to be rude, you should really look around a bit in the real world before you get that depressed about your own situation. You are a whole lot better off than most of the population of earth. You are worried about drainage in your apartment, where there are literally millions who would consider it heaven, just to have four walls and a roof on their heads. You are grumbling about a car, whereas there are entire families working together for years just to buy a bike.

If you believe you have a shitty life, you'll only notice the shitty things in your life. You need to look at the good things in life too.


If you can, grab a diary, and start noting down the good things that happened to you today, no matter how trivial. maybe you met a friend, maybe you watched something good on the TV, or maybe you just saw a baby laughing and felt happy just for a second. Note down everything, and check back after a week Smile

I think this post about shadows my opinion ..... I would only add that now you have realized that God doesn't exist there is really no going back ... For religion to work you need to believe the lies ... The placebo effect only works if you believe in the placebo Sad

Dog.
