I don’t know if it helps at all, but one thing that helped me was a meditation teacher who said, if you can’t have hope you can do the same by simply calmly resisting the urge to doubt.

As others have said, you don’t strike me as being dumb in any way shape or form. Also, some of the most striking works of art were done by people who were in the throes of depression. It might be very therapeutic for you.

Whatever you choose, try not to beat yourself up so much. I’ve been there too, and it only makes it worse and keeps you stuck

Maybe you need an antidepressant if you don’t already take one. I was hopelessly depressed with suicidal thoughts until I got put on Wellbutrin.

5-HTP works very well for me. It is a precursor of Serotonin, and raises the level of serotonin in your brain naturally

I’m useless but I still enjoy life. All I do is watch TV but that’s enough for me to keep living. Maybe you’ll find your purpose and passion someday. I’d like to be a professional photographer and videographer.

To your parents, you will always be their child, and they will care about you through bad times and good times. They probably love you and want the best for you and will stick with you until you get back on your feet some way, somehow.

You are not useless. You are not dumb.

Medication can be reduced in dose with time. If the pdoc approves.

Then you will feel better.

I wish you all the best!!

Things can and do get better for people.

I was going to post the same thing today.

You’re not useless.

The only person that is useless is me.

I was depressed for a bit but then it got better on its own as I accepted my new sz life. Before sz I was a full time A student in university and was working part time the weekend. Also had a gf, lots of friends was 135lb and was going to the gym almost daily. Now after sz I lost everything even when I went off meds for 2yrs. I stay in bed 90% of my time. I live with my parents and can’t live on my own.

I try to make myself happy by listening to music, vaping nicotine, watching youtube videos music or travel videos a bit of video games having coffee etc
