Well, I went to see the therapist yesterday. Without going into too many specifics, I finally figured out what the problem is. Now, the problem is trying to come up with a solution to my problem. It is not going to be easy but I have to do, for my own sanity.
Thank you to everyone who offered solace and advice. I am not completely over it, but I am past the not caring and quitting part of it. I am hitting the gym again hard and not looking back. No sense in completely self-destructing myself before I can stop the destruction completely.

I have watched several of my friends, and those close to me, go through what you are going through (from the surface, since I don’t know you except for what you’ve written). And the one thing I can say is this. Your life is what you make of it. Ending it, will solve nothing. I have had friends take their own life, and the sad part is "the rest of us went on with our life" Sure if hurts people for a while, but they will go on. They have no choice. So as for my friends that are no longer here, what do they have?
For those people that suffer from depression, a lot of times I see it as them having expectations of life that are just not real. And instead of dealing with reality, they chose to shut down. Again, this gets you now where. You have but one life, and what you do with it is up to you. The world is not going to care. I know this sounds harsh, but again it’s reality. Sure there are individuals that will care, but only to an extent. But the rest of the world is oblivious to you and your problems.
Treat each day as a gift, make each one special, and realize you cannot have today back. Do what you want in life, and experience the good and bad that is out there. Pain doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. Without it, you will never really know sheer joy.

wow nice reply! I wasn’t in his situation but it even helped me out. I was just telling my g/f the other day that life is unfair, hard and harsh. There are rules in life that are in place that we cannot change, all we can do is find out the best way to play the game for ourselves inside those rules. Best of luck to you.

Life is hard, and everyone goes through depression. Some times being alive is the only up side of things. Just hang in there to see what the next day is going to be like., and so on and so on until you get through it.

Take the best out of each day..include something that makes you feel good each and every day as well. Lifes greatest things are very simple and i take each day ..one day at a time. Sometimes i have a bad moment .. we all do but at the end of the day i am loved and surrounded by the people that love me and that is the important thing. Plan things ahead of time and that will be something you look forward to at the end of the week or next month.. this is what i do. one day at a time with a smile…enjoy the day and the moment brian….
