I've used this here in Germany and made friends through it, as well as Couchsurfing (www.couchsurfing.com) and Internations (www.internations.org) which also have groups in a lot of places around the world.

You're not alone, I feel very similarly. Not diagnosed with anything on the spectrum, but feel like it's very much on the table. Ssri's literally saved my life; but they only treat the symptoms and not the cause for me. There are still very aggressive periods for me and so, after all of this ranting, just want to let you know you're not alone.
I've been planning on taking my life for some time now, but something always comes up to push it back. This quality of life is just degrading and painful and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I would like to clarify that I won't be doing it in the immediate future so please don't be unduly worried. But I feel I can at least offer a little insight to the state of mind for those of you that don't understand it. I wish to help anyone in a similar disposition, and don't for the love of holy follow my example

Hi Jaeden, I don't want to pry into your personal life but I hope that you find inner peace with the issues you are having. I also hope it leads to better quality of life here with us. I've read quite a few suicide survivor stories that mention regret for ever trying it. A realization that the problems are fleeting and there are solutions. I hope you find solutions here with us. I hope help is found to whatever physical, emotional, spiritual or mental health problems you might be having.
Thankyou for your kind words; unfortunately, it isn't a fleeting thing. Regardless of circumstances, it doesn't pass. I just had excellent news regarding my education; happy for half an hour and then down in the dumps. Been like this for 8 years and don't see it changing any time soon.
Hi mate.
Have you had any form of therapy, along with your SSRI`s ?.
Are your health care professionals are aware of how you feel ?

So please, the next time someone with an invisible disability says that they’re tired, please don’t treat them as if they’re lazy or irrational.

Hang in there mate. Things can always change no matter how long you've felt that way.

Good morning from the States Jaeden.
I'm not a medical professional, only a man that has had mental health issues and researched the hell out of it. So, take this for what it is - my opinion formed through research.
It seems to me like you are experiencing something called anhedonia. A general lack of enjoyment. There are many factors at play in something like this, as I have experienced something similar. Behavioral changes, perspective and biological factors all play a factor in our mental health, especially in a case like this. I can cite the research articles after work. It may surprise you that things like alcohol intake, caffeine intake, high sugar diets, behavioral addictions, lack of physical activity, etc can all contribute to a poor mental state because of the stress hormone production that occurs as a result. I found that 30 minutes of dedicated exercise time makes a dramatic improvement in my long term mood because that kind of exercise burns stress hormone in the human body. Some days I still had a funk even on SSRIs when I didn't work out for a long period of time. It happens. UAB here in the states published a study regarding how moderate to vigorous physical activity stimulates neurogenesis in your brain's hippocampus - IE regrowing neurons in your brain. Alcohol, caffeine and any other drug affects a brain's neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Too much of any of those things can lead to a true chemical/neurotransmitter imbalance or even physical changes in a brain/body. SSRIs seems to be intended to be used as a supplement for us to recover.There are also medicines that assist a body's other neurotransmitters - dopamine, etc - like Wellbutrin. Some doctors combine these medicines to address the brain as a whole.
Lastly, California-Berkeley, one of the premier research universities here in the states, published a research piece a few years ago blatantly stating that chronic stress predisposes our brains to mental illness. Finding ways to manage your stress in a healthy outlet goes a long way.
Kick it's ass, Jaeden.
Hence why exercise is being used more and more as part of therapy.
I`m a long term anxiety sufferer and exercise ( running ) really does help me keep the lid on things.

Agree. It's a stark contrast in my overall mood when I'm active to when I'm not. The stressors of the world seems to bounce off me when I'm in that healthy state of mind. Or more likely, I'm just able to process them better without my mind/body being in a state of stress.

I don’t know your situation but think of the heartbroken people you will leave behind. It’s not fair on them.
I wish you well.

Very true that is a consequence of such an action. Let's focus on Jaeden too.
I had one therapy session and hated it tbh. I'm not too sure if the doctors know tbh, they know what's going on but probably not the severity; I just can't keep doing the same thing over and over
