Don't delete this. Leave it here - you're bound to get some facetious responses, but you might get some interesting ones too.

You're not alone in feeling like this, you really aren't.

People do say things like, 'Go rock climbing,' but that's something very individual that benefits the climber only. Perhaps the key to feeling like there's a point is to do something that benfits others too. I don't mean that in a hippy way (bloody hippies) and I'm not suggesting you go out and volunteer to build houses in Asia or anything.

But one of the key elements to the existential wrangle is the feeling of being alone (not being lonely, but being alone). Understanding that we all wrestle with this feeling, either consciously or subconsciously, might help.

Of course, now it's a new day and you're completely sober, so you're reading this thinking, 'Yeh, whatever.' But I just felt I ought to respond to such a message!
