  Thats a pretty pessimistic take. My sibling has struggled with depression and suicidal ideation but Id never describe them as a burden to society.

  This sounds more like a bleak outlook caused by depression.

  First two comments are branding this is an over-reaction, but living in the USA I constantly hear terms like “moocher”, “parasite”, and other insults.

  No, that’s what suicidal people tend to think. Call someone.

  I care dude. It will get better. Think about projects you can mess with. Take junk apart just to figure out how it works. If nothing else, save and start organizing the hardware like screws and stuff. Spare hardware is super useful for fixing things and you will have an enormous variety if you just take apart junk and keep the spares.

  Before the end of the day today, commit to doing something physical for me. Walk outside for a bit, ride a bike, watch the sun go down. Do anything that gets your heart rate up enough to barely break a sweat at a minimum.

  Arduino stuff can be fun and an intro to programming stuff if you have never tried it.

  I’d heavily disagree. Less of a shower thought, more of a cry for help. Reach out do anyone, you’d be surprised by who is willing to listen.

  Uh… @DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works ?

  I think it sounds like you might be a danger to yourself.

  I don’t know your situation, but I just want to point out two things:

  1. The belief that those around a depressed person secretly don’t want them around or would appreciate them more when they’re gone is wildly untrue. It kind of sounds like your brain is trying to convince you of this, and you should know that your brain is almost certainly lying. Lots of people know folks who are depressed that we love very much and are grateful to have in our lives.

  2. People who survive suicide attempts consistently express regret and a sense of terror during the act that felt like someone else was trying to kill them.

  I know that during depression, negative thoughts can make a convincing case that you cannot expect anything to get better, but there are A LOT of people alive today who enjoy their lives who felt the same way at some time in the past. I hope that with support you can perhaps be one of these people.
