Lonely Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don’t enjoy anything anymore. Food isn’t tasty, none of my usual activities seem to hold up, and I don’t want to trouble anyone I know with my problems. Has anyone else felt this way? Do you have any tips? 1 Link to comment
MommyWigglebutt Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yes, I have often felt this way. I go to therapy, I trouble my therapist with my problems. I try to make time each day to engage in fun activities that I enjoy. I also try to do things were I'm meeting people or spending time with people. 1 Link to comment
Baby Girl Sarah Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 More times than i care to remember To me its obvious youe in deep depression stage right now. If youe this far down i strongly suggest you contact a professional therapist ASAP . And reg you dont want to trouble anyone you know etc... Who else would you trouble with this dear ? If they are youre REEL friends they will want to listen and help And last i agree with Mommy Wiggelbutt here on how to deal with this problems 1 Link to comment
WetDad Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have had depression for almost 40 years now, so I have seen myself go through some very deep moments. Like the two nice ladies above me said, talk to a counselor. After that, one thing that always helped me is volunteering. After a week volunteering in a soup kitchen, I always felt better. It's really not hard to find someone worse off than myself, I found out. Get back to us please, and let us know how you are feeling. Link to comment
Lonely Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Another problem of mine is money. I don’t have the highest paying job, and I feel like what little I get should be saved for more important things than counseling. I thank everyone for their suggestions, regardless. Link to comment

WetDad Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Try contacting your community mental health care place. The Google will know about it. You should be able to find a low to no cost counselor if you meet the financial requirements. Link to comment
Jbo Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It could be cabin fever setting in, both of my sisters are going thru a depression and I’m a bit withdrawn myself, I love to come home to see my pet but I’m not excited about that anymore right now and I feel so guilty cause he is so dependent on my attention. That is how I realized I’m going thru a slump right now. I wish I had some advice to help u get thru this cause it’s a ugly feeling, it’s like a cancer of your emotions that’s eating away at us. Hang in there you are definitely not alone! Link to comment
darkdream Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I get very depressed ALOT too most days. More for reasons than a chemical imbalance. But BOTH I hardly got any friends in real life. Over a dozen chronic health issues like vestibular migraines that last days, mental health issues and aspergers syndrome. And not had a partner in over 10 years. Fix all that, and I'd be happy!

On my severe depressive days it gets like this but WORSE. I won't eat for ages, will neglect washing/brushing my teeth, nothing will interest me and will have blank empty thoughts where I can't even cry. And stare into space doing nothing at all. Crying HELPS Lucky that isn't that often. Link to comment
horrorfan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Try exercising. I've had a few episodes of severe depression and a decent amount of exercise never hurt me. Start small by attempting a mile run every day (run for approximately fifteen minutes a day and you've reached that goal). Try to improve after that, set goals. Try to keep yourself busy and the depression won't hurt as much. Link to comment
Lonely Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 A nice idea, but I don’t care about my body. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It's not just to benefit your body, but also your mind. Though the process isn't understood, it's been clearly shown universally that being physically active reduces the effects of depression. It doesn't need to be strenuous- sometimes hat can be detrimental- it just needs some activity which is more effective when the results are pleasant. Clean house, take a stroll around outside to see springtime in action, wash the car, anything which will give you positive feelings afterward. Being active is the last thing you want to do when you're depressed but it is simply something those of us living with depression have to do to have a chance for a hopefully better tomorrow.

Lonely Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Odd. I exercised every day of 2018 and it always made me feel worse Link to comment

I exercised every day of 2018 and it always made me feel worse You saw it as exercise and you probably didn't enjoy doing it. That's why I say to just be active and do something you can enjoy as the better way to benefit from the physical movement regards depression. Put the exercise in a separate box of it's own elsewhere unless you enjoy doing it. Take a walk in the park, go window shopping, do anything instead if just sitting there doing nothing. It doesn't take much to gain the benefit and you needn't work at it, but you need to be active when you're depressed or it will always just get worse. You've got to actively fight depression or it will win every time. Bettypooh Link to comment
