View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
It's fine. All the questions like "What is this for?" "What's the point of living?" etc. don't get answered, they just kind of disappear. Like you don't need a specific thing to keep you going or a reason because everything is fine.
And when you're down, it's usually because a thing happened, or you haven't eaten or slept enough, or possibly it's hormones. But you have reasons and ways to fix things.
And you're never in that weird emotional void without feelings of any kind.

I have my answer to the questions.
Life is for living. Enjoy. Don't waste it. When you're doing a lazy day, enjoy that you don't have to hustle. Don't go shoulda, coulda, woulda, just relax. And when you do things, be there. Existence is the way and the goal.

Hormonal imbalance was one of the biggest causes of my mental illness, personally. I still have it to a degree but it's not nearly as bad now that that's sorted out.

I do always feel in that "void" and I do ask my self what's the point of being alive... It always feels for me like I am playing minecraft, where I am just alive for the purpose of being alive and that there is no goal to achieve... I am going to die later in life anyways, so why not end all the suffering?? This is just my opinion, but I am really glad that you have quiet the opposite perspective
