Ask HN: Have you experienced completely loss of interest on everything?

Guys,

After many years trying and being extremely pro-startup, pro-entreprenursip and failing almost every time, all I can do right now is just stay at bed. (I'm 23 btw)

I lost interest on everything. The world will still go with or without me. Taking a job at tech right now is the last thing I want. If I could break my Mac in 10 pieces, I would. (I won't).

I can't believe I came this far down. I don't talk about this outside my family. I went to multiple therapies in the last year, but didn't help. Meds made everything worse (which forced me learn the hard way about the big-parma lie 'chemical imbalance of the brain' theory).

So I ask you... What motivates you to do what you are currently doing? (8>= hours/day)

Of course, if you are at SpaceX, Tesla or Uber doing Autopilot that would be really interesting, but doing CSS3 or even React is not something that makes me feel the world needs me.

I convinced my self for so long that whatever I was doing was going to be great and help lots of people, but it didn't.

Thank you
