you are depressed. first thing to do is admit that. just because ur life isnt bad in paper and you're doing everything "right" doesnt mean you wont feel bad, and its okay to feel it. seek help and you will be guided to feel better. it will all be alright, stay safe bro ❤️🩹
the thing is, i am fine with every decision i had up until now, i struggled with my ex girlfriend in 23 but i forgave myself for everything i did and so did she, those are my only real regrets, but i came to be fine with them as they helped me develop into the guy i am today, im happy with the person ive become and i admire myself for going through everything yet still being myself, its just that these past few weeks have been heavy on living in general, i dont feel like doing anything anymore and nothing really brings me joy
similar position as you and i havent really found out how to deal with it. i wish u luck tho and know you're not alone in feeling this way
Yep, lots of people think depression is just being constantly sad which is not the case at all. That's why many don't seek help because they think "well, I dont feel sad so im not depressed"
yeah looking at it lmao, i just dont feel the same as when i was depressed frfr, i used to not actually do anything, i didnt talk to anyone, i just sat in my bed, nowadays i do almost everything i "want" yet i still feel tired to do pretty much anything, idk, i dont feel like stay awake until 3am yet i dont feel like going to sleep
I know how it feels man - truly. You're doing something productive and you should still be proud of that bro, I guarantee you I'm proud of you for still living life and doing everything right, even if you aren't in your eyes. Even myself I can relate. I'm still in high school and I don't have a job so I can't really be talking but, even myself, I literally just spend the ENTIRE day doing homework or studying for tests. My life is so empty and I feel the same way, hoping the same happens because I have nothing to do with my life. I don't have friends to hangout with and I always have the same thoughts. Just keep doing what you're doing honestly, you're working out and doing actually productive things which I am genuinely proud of.
thanks man, i appreciate it really, there is always better days ahead, i just dont feel like taking the time until those days come
Of course bro. I'm with you on that too. Always gonna be a lot of horrendous days that we are stuck in but know that things will improve even if it doesn't seem like it. I know it's horrible being in an endless cycle of constant bs and nonsense but just know there will always be great days waiting for you
im not depressed
hoping i dont have to wake up anymore
If you ever feel like you can't handle it please seek someone to talk to. If you feel like thats not possible then please seek professional help. It's not something to be ashamed of but rather something to be proud of, it shows that you care enough for yourself to try to feel better.
vlr is a random ahh community but a lot of people care. If you want some encouraging words I made a thread abt some stuff a week ago
https://www.vlr.gg/572969/this-thread-makes-me-sick
i actually go to the psychiatrist every week since 2023, it helped me ever since, i also have loving friends and a loving family, my co workers are all cool with me vice versa, i know also that better days are ahead yet i just dont feel like going through anything anymore until those days come, idk man
some time, depression can come with denial, i think you are depressed but refuse to acknowledge it. It's okay to feel down, there's nothing wrong with feeling unsure about what to do, that's what keep us going after all, life would just be easy if we don't question ourselves. Eventually you'll find the answer, you just gotta keep believing.
I agree with the rest of the thread, its probably depression, or something that aligns with it.
Especially with the way you phrase it, it sounds like boredom of life almost.
I used to think like that a lot, but the one thing for me that got me out of that was simply doing shit just for doing shit.
Like going to watch a movie just cause you feel like it
Doing anything not even because you feel like it, but because you just thought about it.
Like genuinely, think about doing something fun, and go do the first thing that comes to mind tomorrow.
Also this is going to sound really fucking bullshit, but go walk. Like just put on some music and go walk for like an hour or two, just thinking about stuff. Try to go to places that you find beautiful maybe, thats what I do but I live in a really nice walkable city so its easy for me
Going walking is pretty much effortless, and just walking around and watching people have fun puts me in a good mood usually.
But yeah, this really just sounds like a big downwards mood swing, and even if its not depression, you are definitely having depressive thoughts. You should be having fun with life urgently !!
i always liked walks and movies but i cant bear to go walking anymore for the sake of it, might be a mental blockage but idk, the only thing i actively enjoy is watching the spurs play and just being alone with my thoughts while listening to pink floyd
same here been living in a mental blockage for a couple of years. Don't feel like to do anything productive , procrastinate and feel lethargic most of the times and a big reason might be a couple of goals that I had set for myself that I failed to achieve causing me to lose trust in myself and lockdown that sht changed me idk how but I'm sure i dont feel like myself after tht period, peer and parental pressure on top of that and yea its fked. My advice is that you need to find someone who you trust and be accountable to them regularly . Certain days will be tougher than the others but you need to remember your reason and push through.Find your reason, make changes to your routine that doesn't cause burnout and every once in a while take a break and enjoy.
maybe the gym and your job is stuff u dont really want to do. maybe ur trapped and following a manmade path created by beings in flesh
I pray that you can improve and feel better soon, it sucks a lot, don't really know what to do anymore
bro, listen up.
first off, stop lying to yourself. what you’re describing is depression. that apathy and that wish to not wake up anymore are some of the heaviest signs, even if you dont feel “sad.” admit it.
second, you need to be 100% honest with your psychiatrist. say it straight: “doc, i go to sleep hoping i wont wake up.” if you’ve felt like this since 2023, it means your treatment needs some adjustment. they’re not mind readers.
third, it doesnt sound like you’re missing structure, its meaning. you’ve got everything set up, but no idea why. thats existential emptiness. philosophy might help you find a “why.” try reading viktor frankl (man’s search for meaning) or even some stoics like seneca or marcus aurelius.
the fact that you wrote all this shows that, deep down, you’re still trying to find yourself. hold on to that, bro.
