Does anyone else feel like they are alive but not actually living? Like you’re going through the motions on auto pilot. Sometimes it feels like I have no purpose anymore.

I definitely had for a very long time. I think that the thing you're referring to is "dissociation" or "depersonalisation"

It’s the craziest feeling. I just feel like nothing matters like life is just passing by and I am just going along with it.

@J_ In a very simple sense it's a feeling that you're dreaming all the time

Yes, like you simply exist, but you don't actually live?

Taylorm2015

Yes like you’re serving no purpose like you’re just floating along while time passes

Yes, I totally get this way. I feel like it’s a success just to stay afloat each day but it’s sad.

It is really sad. It feels like you’re wasting your time on earth but it’s so hard to stop the feeling
