Future!?!?

"Every weekend I want to blow my brains out.... actually it's getting worse...it's no longer only the weekends....it's everyday now!!"He said.
What can I say to him? I'm not sure what I'm hearing...
"I'm sure it's not that bad" I mumble...knowing that was not the right thing to say.

He looks at me and asks:"What happens to a man whose identity is what he does, when what he does comes to a grinding halt?"

Truly I'm speechless as I have just gained a brand new revealing insight into my own future

Why does everybody come to me for advice anyways?
