I don't get upset at death, I have no goals, I have no job, I have no money, I have no real home, I have no girlfriend and no real desire for one, I just don't care about anything and find no excitement. I constantly flake out on plans, I run from emotional connection. I can't even write coherently anymore.
I wasn't always like this.

I suck at expressing empathy, but I do wish that you recover. If I was religious, I would pray for you.

Do you think you have depression?

It's from the Bible, about King David. He had everything and was close to God then everything went wrong, he committed adultery, impregnated a woman then sent her husband to war knowing he would die. After all this he was broken and full of regret but prayed to God and this is from the prayer.

I post it because God knows our pains, He knows when we're broken and feel like there is no hope, but His love for us surpasses all this , and He won't despise us when we are hurting and losing hope.
