Is there a preferred way to handle a lost will to live?

There is hope.: This is a painful place to be. If the age listed is correct (33 years old) then I have to wonder if you might be depressed. Encourage you to see your physician. He or she can evaluate for clinical depression, other psychiatric issues & for medical conditions that could be causative. Regardless of the cause of your loss of motivation to keep living, talking therapy is essential.
