I feel like something great is coming. Something that will change my life. It's waiting for the right time, but it is there. It will be the result of years in the making and waiting, thousands of hours thinking about it not knowing what it is, learning about it through other things. I can feel it, inside me, that that gives me purpose and saves me, the breakthrough of my own reality and capability, a recognition that needs not to be recognized because I'll know it's there. I am special, I've always known that, although I'm not good at anything except not being bad, I know I am. I'm just waiting for the right time, waiting for it to manifest, to be the butterfly, to escape and to fulfill what deep down I know is waiting for me... I know I can be as special as I am supposed to.

Except I know it's not true. Life made sure to remind me everyday of the actual failure that I am. Not a single friend, socially inapt, constantly discarded, rejected, disgusted, hated for existing even. Not good at anything, not enough energy to do anything, always the passenger, always lonely and excluded. I work, but not enough. I'm good, but am I really? I'm creative when I feel like it, but I never feel like it anymore. I feel like I'm capable of anything, just not capable of being capable... I'm sorry I'm like this and so are they, so they pity me in disgust and I accept it. I don't like it but I accept it and I'm thankful they do.

I feel like existence crippled me, a sick sense of humor of the universe, so it may be that I'm supposed to be pebble on the pavement, the rightful destination of the spit, that ugly spot that never rubs out... I am the inaction. I am a coward.

I am the dirt on your boots but am proud I'm not the shit, so I'm waiting for the blessings of the rain to wash over me and put me back where I belong, somewhere I'll be cheered and necessary, where I'll be whole and irreplaceable... this place has to exist, doesn't it? I beg God that it does... But do I really? I don't think I actually care enough anymore. I feel like I should be what I'm not and never will, so then who should I be really? I wait for the day I can tell myself that maybe I'm exactly this, nothing, I'm just not certain of anything.

Delusion is a bitch.

And still existence troubles our monkey minds. And money troubles our monkey minds. And rejection troubles our monkey minds...

Why am I not as monkey as you are? Why am I denied my monkey-ness? If everyone is equally a monkey it's clear that some are more monkey than others.
 
Yeah..uh huh..yes..same dude same....

Sometimes when i'm in bed I ask myself similiar questions

OP, If you're being serious, go to your doctor and tell them how you are feeling, they can help you.

You said you have no motivation to do things you would normally enjoy, that probably means you are suffering from some sort of depression. Do you feel anxious a lot of the time?

Don't let this shit ruin your life. I wasted almost all of my 20s because I did nothing about my anxiety. In recent years I talked to my doctor and she suggested some medication which has helped me a lot. But I still needed to put some effort in to overcome my anxiety. I did this by doing social things I would normally avoid.

Anyway, long story short, I now own an apartment, I have a lot more friends than I used too, and best of all I have a wonderful girlfriend. I pretty much turned my life around over the last two years.

You need to put the effort in, no one is going to do it for you. It's not going to be easy but it is worth it.

I am and I'm not. I feel this from time to time, then it goes away, then it comes back, then it goes away again... sometimes it's fast, sometimes it stays for a while... I am anxious by default.

My mother has been dealing with depression since I was a kid. She also has panic attacks and real bad social anxiety... reality is that medication and anything/anyone else never really helped her move on with her life, she's been in the same pit for 30+ years now, always hoping the next medication will be the magic pill... so she tries new drugs from time to time and the side effects kick in and she's always with some new problem, some new symptom, some new something... It's sad and I don't want that for me...

If what I have is depression then I've had it since I can remember, I can live with it, it sucks but I'm still going... it does feel like I'm wasted potential, though... I can function really well when someone else pushes me a little, I just can't push myself into doing anything other than what's strictly necessary.

Mate, I'm not trying to be mean, but you need to stop making bullshit excuses. You keep trying to find every possible reason not to get help. If you keep going like this you're going to waste years of your life. That is time you will never get back.

Stop making fucking excuses and talk to your doctor. You'll never get anywhere if you don't try.

And another thing. You can't live with depression. It will keep getting worse and worse. If you haven't already started contemplating suicide, then you will sooner or later. I'm talking from experience here. Do something about this shit before it gets REALLY bad.

I don't know, man... If you need drugs not to suffocate in your own existence, doesn't it mean your existence is the problem? I don't want to look away, I wanna see deeper, I want to see the real thing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy, I'm married to a good wife, I have a great son and I love them. My life is not bad, it's just not as good as I feel it could be, and by that I mean financially... I don't think I do enough, I think I'm standing still, waiting, I'm too passive for my own good and it leads me to desperation.

I'm 30, I live in Brazil, my son will be 10 yo in a month and I haven't accomplished that that I think I'm capable of, I just don't think I'm capable of being capable...

Anyways, I won't take drugs, I rather be real.

Well, it's your choice, mate.

If you don't do anything it will only get worse...
