All the things you don't want to hear, and don't think you can manage.
I believe people do care how you are, and I'm one that hates seeing you in the black pit. And, as for a reason to 'be' I think, when depressed, very often it is just a decision to 'be.' Even a lot of 'normals' have trouble with existential angst, the what-am-I-here-for/reason-for-being type questions.
Where you are right now, you just need to show up and do what you can. When you can, it'd help to get out, somehow, some way, just step outside. And, I think it would help a lot to not put so much energy into black thoughts, as much as you can manage it.
Plus, eating is important. Mood and eating, for me, are closely related. Doesn't have to be fancy, but best if it's not all junk. It's possible to eat corn right out of the can! That's better than nothing at all.
I hope you'll give an update on how you are. Just do the best you can, it's all we can do.

> starting to think I really have pushed everyone away. Did I? Does anyone care anymore? No one here at home does. I could disappear and no one would notice let alone care. I am alone all the time. I go nowhere, I do nothing, I see no one. I work still but I am not really there. I am just a shell, like a robot, doing what I am supposed to do but not alive. At home I just sleep. I don't eat, I don't clean......I just stay in bed or veg out in front of the tv. I can't find a reason to 'be'
