Depression that I can't overcome 1

I have a great life. I am married, I have kids, I have a great job. Sounds great right? Here's the thing. I feel nothing for any of the great things in my life. People tell me all the time, they can tell I am committed to my job. People tell me that they wish that their marriage was like mine, etc.
The problem is, I have spiraled so far into depression I think. I feel no emotional connection to anybody/anything. I don't pay attention to my wife, I don't play with my kids, I hate my job, etc. I have done a lot of research and feel like I have been lied to my entire life. More accurately, we all have been lied to our entire life. Deep down, I know something is wrong with our world, the people that run it, the reasons we're here. I research all this stuff that proves that I am right, but I never get any answers. It's like all this stuff is happening for a reason, but I never figure out the reason. There are so many questions unanswered. Which, I get it, nobody knows. But it is effecting me adversely. I can't just ignore it and think, "well I'm here, might as well make the most of it".
Don't get me wrong. I'm not going to kill myself or anything. It's like ever since I woke up and started seeing the world and people for what they really are, I feel like there is no meaning of life. I feel like I have spotted so many lies with earth, history, science, geography, geology, astronomy, politics, life, etc., that there is no turning back. Even if I went and talked to a counselor, I don't think my mind set would change. Everything we have ever known is a LIE and it drives me insane. Why all the lies? Does anybody else feel like this? Is anybody else disconnected from their emotions, feel no empathy for people, question their existence, feel no meaning for life?

if it wasn't for the wife and kids, I would have sworn this was something I had posted but then forgotten I had posted.
Trust me friend, you're not alone. We're all being lied to, and some of us are fed up with it, and want a way out. And no, a way out doesn't mean killing myself.

And yes, bananas.
This. The pursuit of happiness is the meaning of life. Pursue what you think would make you happy, in body, mind, and soul. You can bring your wife and kids with you to the path of enlightenment. There are big changes coming in the world. Now is the time to find a deeper meaning and a true purpose in your life. Pursue it. Find it. Share it. Be at peace because the journey itself is fulfillment of your purpose. Branch out. There is a way for you to support your family and have a life that is meaningful to you. You just gotta go out and find it man.

Sure we are misinformed by media, government and popular opinion but that doesn't mean to say everything is lie. Not everybody has the same mindset, some people are content with wage slaving everyday and play video games thereafter. There's nothing inherently wrong with this if that's what makes you happy. It sounds more like you're having an existential crisis which is not uncommon. Specifically what do you think we're being lied too about? If you're really convinced try, equipping yourself with as much knowledge as possible with research and books. Don't try and search for the 'meaning of life' it has hundreds of correct answers while also being rhetorical. But yeah as mentioned before nothing is more important than the pursuit of happiness and you probably need more potassium (bananas) in your diet.

What you are experiencing is what many of us have. You are not alone ! There is so much bullshit out there that sometimes it's hard not to drive my car up on that sidewalk and into that crowd . I don't because it won't fix anything. If you do not know how to deal with the answers you seek then do yourself a favor and stop looking for the answers. Start looking at yourself and do what you can to positively impact the lives of others. You seem to have it all or at least all the things that I have always wanted. So let's take away your wife , your kids , your home , your job and your car , your phone and iPad , all your little creature comforts and put you out on the street with no money , no one to turn to for help , just you with the clothes on your back. What ya gonna research now ? Oh wait , you can't research shit ! When you had the chance you should have researched different ways to eat a pigeon. Or how to skin a rat. You will have plenty of time to figure out which dumpsters have old bread that is still in the bag and maybe a doughnut . I find it hard to feel for someone who has so many blessings in his life that he is too stupid to realize how lucky he is to have a woman who loves him , a job to go to everyday , kids who adore him , I'm guessing a nice house , car , warm bed , a place to take a shower everyday. You ever been without a place to sleep and a shower ? After about 4 days everyone starts to smell like their ass. And if your sleeping outside you develop a personal relationship with the weather because it makes life miserable the heat , cold , rain and you can't get away from it. You also become food for everything with six or more legs so you really can't rest without something biting you. Are you catching my drift at all here ? Stop looking , stop researching ! Start reaching out to people who are less fortunate than you are so you learn to appreciate your good fortune. When I help those whose troubles are worse than my own it makes my worries disappear , all the world bullshit goes away and I feel good about me ! And ....eat more bananas !
