If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
Man, it's tough right now. And I have no idea what you're going through, but you have to hang in there.
If you wanna talk I can message you my email??
38 year old white male. Pretty much the prime candidate for this ironically. Sure you can message me your email.

Get a dog
Seconded. Just know that if you don’t fix the underlying issues, they will come back to bite you in the arse with interest 10-15 years later when the dog dies

True but I feel like they would be better off without me.
You may think that, but have you ever asked them? Have you ever talked to any parents who've lost a child due to depression and asked them if they're better off?
Again, I hate to be so blunt, but you're wrong.

I'd love a dog but ironically I'm allergic to them so I sadly can't even go that route. It's incredibly frustrating.

I am extremely lonely and I really don't feel like anyone would truly be impacted if I were gone.

We've all been there, brother.
I went through the same exact thing a year or so ago. It feels like your body is just on autopilot. Getting in that rut is very real.
I sifted through my life and found what was holding me back so I changed them, one of which was my job. I stopped trying to control every part of life and just let it come to me.
Then, I went harder at the gym, ate better, and transformed my body. From that, my confidence in all aspects of life went up

I know it wouldn't take away the pain but maybe it would help them to understand. At least they wouldn't be 100% mad at me. But if all I'm living for is to prevent my family and friends from going through pain is that really enough to live?
I don't enjoy anything anymore. I'm always tired, I no longer enjoy things I used to enjoy, my sleep is awful and not restful, I have trouble connecting with people, my job is killing me and I just don't know why I wake up anymore. I didn't always feel like this way. I've always suffered from some anxiety but it's constant now. I can truly never relax anymore.

Get a hobby you are passionate about. Life should be fun, and I get it, understand where you are coming from, but it’s either get busy living, or get busy dying….. so true. I enjoy fishing and hunting, love nature( no pun-your sign in). Get outside, grab some Vit D, find a hobby that you are passionate about, cause that’s where life starts.!

If you're really feeling like this, talk to someone, anyone. I've been there, it's dark, I know but it doesn't last forever. Is there anything right now that brings you joy in life? If not, it's okay.
If you need someone to listen, I'm here.

Get a side job working at a restaurant. It will ease your financial burden, from "The Brandon years", and give you a steady flow of hostesses and waitresses to get drunk with.

They make non allergenic dogs now.

The job aspect is definitely something I would need to fix if I decide to try to keep living.
I agree with your analogy. My body feels like it's on autopilot, hell my whole life feels like it's on autopilot. But there is no spark in my life. My brain feels either numbed or just completely dead. And I have no answers how to get out of it.

Probably a large part of your problem. Go get a sleep study done baw.
In the meantime, call 988.
Also, keep in mind that you're a 38 year old white guy living free in America, and not in a Russian gulag taking hot dicks to the throat. That always makes me feel better anyway.

You should try Lexapro

They have hypoallergenic breeds that are much much easier on the allergies.
