I have a very close friend who was recently going through the same thing to the point of suicide and I'm the only one who really knew. They felt like there was nothing to live for and was very depressed and things never seemed to get better. I tried to convince them but they basically said what you thought. It's just repetitive and nothing much to it.
But they're better now, they realises there's loads they want to do, you might feel the same too soon.
