What more can I do about how I am feeling?

I am 19 and for a long time I have felt like nothing.

I felt that my life was not worth living and that I did not want to do anything.

I know I have great potential and that if I just looked for an opportunity I would be able to get better, but at this moment I have no desire to do anything.

I feel like nothing.

I would have killed myself a long time ago if it wasn't slow or painful.

Instead I settled for becoming addicted to the internet: spending hours playing online games, mindlessly reading random articles, and watching and masturbating to porn. It started becoming really bad in college when I would stay up all night and stop going to classes.

When I did not have access to the internet, I would drown myself in fantasy novels. Reading for hours on end, burning the midnight oil, and neglecting basic bodily needs like going to the restroom or eating and drinking.

Now, I have moved back home with my family and they are helping me get back on track. I have stopped going on the internet to play games, and whatnot.

I have also began meeting friends in my hobby of Parkour again.

However, I wish to know what I can do to further facilitate my desire to live productively.

    Try by going outside and finding outdoor activities.

    Being cooped up all day can cause problems.

    Im not going to say I know how you feel because no one can say they know exactly how that person feels, but I am going through the same thing. At times, I feel like no ones there for me and that I have nothing to forward to. Bt when I started studying with Jehovahs witnesses, I found out that I do have a purpose in life and that I can make my life worthwhile by helping out other people. Reading the bible reallt does help:)
