My life is pointless!

See a specialist. Before you quit your job or make major changes in your life, do that. Helping people is literally their job, and believe me, it helps. Just having a more objective party to talk to can be all you need, but you might even need medication, even if only temporarily. I went thru a dark, dark time a few years ago, and being on antidepressants for 6 months helped give the mental fortitude I needed to change the things I needed to change.

I had friends who did worse on antidepressants so don't know if medication is the best answer.

Your job is only what you do, not who you are, and that is what really is important.
So, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and meditate on who you are, understand yourself; all the rest will flow to you like a breeze.

Your job is what you do
Your body is how you look to others
Your consciousness, values and morals, that's who you are and that's what is important. And that's what you take with you after death.

Of course it's easier said than done.

No, this is not some new age crap, i don't adhere to that sort of thing or organized religion of any kind. I'm very eclectic when it comes to beliefs.

As for your life being pointless....no life is pointless, but all depends on perspective.
My belief is that the meaning of life is to learn, to gather experiences; and since everything is an experience, all anyone can do is to live the best they can and be happy during the process.

And I did better. That's why he should see a specialist to determine that. I just wanted to iterate that it should be on the table as a possibility.
