What's the point of living? I've often asked the same question.

I too have a distaste for the world of money, and sadly it seems to be money that rules the world. I'm in my thirties and recently had a serious nervous breakdown, not from hppd as you have but from a severe anxiety condition involving "psychogenic blackouts" where I unintentionally blackout any frightening or confusing circumstances. For a little over two months, I was completely incapacitated and incapable of doing anything besides laying around and drinking in my sorrows. I've since started picking my life back up off the ground. I've returned to the things I enjoy and to productivity. I'm not fully there just yet, but I'm a completely different person than I was a month ago.

I tell you this not because I want to change the conversation to myself but because I want to give you some hope by letting you know that, at least in my case, recovery seems to be taking place. It's a slow process, as I'd assume it would be for you as well, and for me there were also "false starts" where I thought I was myself again only to be set back to my pitiful condition. But don't be fooled if this happens to you; there are undeniable positive results for people like us that we can witness and use to build on - kind of like a snowball picking up more and more snow as it rolls down a hill.

As for your question, I once heard an answer (from a high school student of all people) that has always stuck with me: The Meaning of Life is to Give Life Meaning! This beautifully articulated sentence offers hope without the necessity of faith; it allows us to see life as opportunity despite the suffering that accompanies it. All human understanding is based in comparison. We can't know tall if we haven't seen short, and we can't know quiet if we've never heard loud. We NEED to have darkness in order to recognize light. This doesn't mean there's no point to living, although I too feel that way sometimes. It means we need to accept - if not appreciate - those terrible times, for it is these times that allow us to recognize the good times. I wish you the best of luck and hope things get better for you as they are for me.
 
^ I agree: meaning is never inherent, it is created. Why is it created? Because we humans crave it. When it happens, in a relationship, in an epiphany about life, in appreciation for nothing more than a scent or a taste or a moment of beauty you just happened to witness, in sadness, in loss, in music....the list is endless but when it happens it imparts such an energized connection to your inner self .
 
Corny as it sounds, the answer is Love. The point is to love, to learn how to love, be loved. To be selfless in love. The problem is we learn love through pain, heartache and sorrow. Nothing worth doing is easy. Life is no different.
