Find Jesus, he will give your a purpose.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I'm here now. Everything will be okay. Just kidding. I lose inspiration when I have exhausted all my resources. I burn myself out or someone or something drags me down and I lose interest. But it is necessary sometimes because if you were always inspired all the time we wouldn't be able to relax. We need those dead zones from time to time to recharge our batteries.

Go volunteer at the Red Cross or local shelter. If you love animals get involved in rescue work. You will find that you are taken out of your depression a lot because you are helping others and thinking of them. They will be so grateful to you.\nThe people who you work with will invite you to share in their hobbies. Take them up on it, go all the time, you will find a whole new world.\nAnd don't say you're not good at anything. That is a lie straight from the devil. God made you. He made you perfectly and loves you perfectly. It is through us not being that great ourselves that the talents that God gave us begin to shine.\nGirl, let your light shine!

Find a way to spend most of your time doing things you are passionate about.  This can be a hobby, faith, friendship or spouse.  \n\nTry to avoid staying in relationships, jobs, or lifestyles in which you are comfortable, but not wholly satisfied.\n\nIn short, gratitude is no substitute for passion.\n\nFor example, you may be grateful that you have a well-paying job, but if you are not passionate about your career, most of your time will be spent longing for something more worthwhile.\n\nWhich brings me to my answer:  The meaning of life is to strive for things you can be passionate about.  If you're lucky, you stumble upon a few of them early in your life.

Try to take a vacation and rest.  I recently took a 3 week vacation and it allowed me to recoup and refocus on life and what was important.\nI have a friend who took a leave of absence and traveled to Asia for a few months.   When he returned, he was a renewed person and actually when into a new field of work.\nBurn out happens and change is good.  Best wishes.

A bunch of experts here I see many good answers. I think you should work to live and not live to work. When you stop having fun with your work, its time to move on.

if u somehow lost ur goals, u could start with the goals of the ones u love. if u dont have loved ones, find the ones that nobody loves and help them. sometimes helping others works best to help us

By all means, please don't kill yourself. Life is what you make it. I know this world can be a cruel place, but you can find solace in God. It sounds like you are a good person with a good heart. Don't despair. Pray for your life to be filled with happiness and love. I will pray for you and keep reminding yourself that your life will only get better. I have been a victim of all those things that you have mentioned, but it only made me stronger as a person. Go out more, spend time with your favorite family members, learn a new hobby, go for the job you always wanted,and find a place of worship where you can confess your heartaches to. Also, keep telling yourself that you are lovable, loving, and you are loved. It helped me and I hope it helps you. Feel better.

During high school and after I was really caught up with friends and partying and you sort of lose yourself in that.  The way I found what I really wanted to do was by thinking of what I wanted to be when I was a kid.  Try not to think of money and think of a passion that you have and just go for it.   Also spend more time with your family that can sometimes help you to realize where you come from and who you really are.

Its funny how you can go through life so carefree and happy, until you fall in love..Then you feel what true happiness is like.  Then you lose that person and life can never go back to being the same, you're never complete, and life feels somewhat empty.\n\nI know it sucks now..but I want you to know that it gets better.  Life got much clearer one morning when I was late for work and I'm running around looking for my keys.  I searched everywhere...EVERYWHERE... eventually I just gave up.  I reached in my shirtpocket for gum and there are my keys.  Enlightenment reached.  Just lets it happen is the moral of the story, but remember chance favors a prepared mind.  Stay prepared cause life comes at you fast.

You are thirty years young. Always stay true to youself and do what you love. People who claim to have lost their taste for such things may not be happier because if it. Stick with what makes you happy.

u know when u ask this question, means ur seriously lost. \n\nTry doing the following:\n\n1. write a diary.. mention ur frustrations, ur hates or peeves or the people who have hurt u. these would tell u things that u dont like. \n\n2. mention ur dreams.. make cut outs from magazines of the perfect things u want in life.. this would tell u your aspirations. \n\n3. catch up on your hobby or join a meditation class, this will teach u relax. \n\n4 lastly, train your self to care less about what others say.. it will teach u independence of thought, word and deed and also make u care more about ur own needs. \n\n5. try talking to your self. it helps me maybe it might help u. \n\nto find your self u need to do soul searching, there is no perfect formula or a place to do it.. just some conscious effort. all the best

I've done that in the past 3 years.  You need to find yourself again.  Me and my ex-wife split and I had a difficult time getting on my feet.  But I eventuly did and everything is great now.  I'm going back to college and trying to make my life better.  Maybe a little to prove I can.  It may take time but don't give up and always remember you are a great person and can do great things.

You need to take a time out.  You are becoming jaded and if you let that happen you will never be excited by or truely enjoy anything at all.\n\nDo something that is totally outside of your realm.  Got every gadget known to man, shut'em down.  Get out to the country or a park and sit under a tree and just look at the world around you.  I mean really look at things  find those shapes in the clouds  do something to recapture your sense of wonder \n\nWhen you want to just stop doing something, get creative find a new goal to use with it or see just how expert youc an become at it, do something to help you stick to something for more than a short time.\n\nStop and write down a list of all your blessings. You have access to the internet and are well and healthy enough to come here and post should start you off and you search your life for the rest.  When you finish your list you will discover you have much more than you thought and it will help you want to accomplish more which should get a spark going in you again.  Remember nothing difficult is ever easy.  work at it and soon it won't take work.

Wow.  You've really covered all the bases.  You need a lot of things, including a better job, a better place to live, a little self-confidence (who cares if your interests are not popular? *Someone* shares them), and you sound like you are in a bad relationship.  (Good relationships should never have the words "borrowed someone else's")\n\nMy advice to you is to focus on what you do have.  You're still alive, so you have a chance to change things.  You have an Internet access somehow, so you can start looking for a better job and ways to improve your job skills and resume.  Everything you want: closeness to friends and family, money, job satisfaction, etc., all take *work*.  I know you're going to have issue with that since you are lacking in motivation.\n\nThere are lots of people online who sympathize with you.  Let them be your accountability partners.  Find *someone* who shares your interests, or your troubles, or *something* in common with you and ask them to give you a boost when you're unmotivated.  Pick the worst problem in your life and work on it, and when you are unmotivated then fight that feeling and ask those who offer you friendship to work on it.  The Internet is a great place to ask for a pen pal to give you a kind word now and again, and many are willing to do it.\n\nYou've clearly defined your problems.  That's more than a lot of people are able to do.  You can work up from there.  I really hope you are able to rise above the position you are in now.\n\nI know, all this is based on the premise that you are able to rise above depression without the help of a medical professional.  Some people are physically / chemically broken and require some help to get out of depression.  Some have milder forms and are able to cope with it by finding strategies to keep the mind focused.  Since you do not have insurance, let's see how far you can get on trying new coping strategies.
