Are those feelings normal?

11 Comments

hi everyone, thanks for giving me your valuable time.
I've lost interest in everything. i've lost interest in music, eating, animals, movies, socializing, cooking,
browsing the internet, sketching and imagination. i basically feel like i lost interest in life and
everything that used to excite me once. i've also been experiencing feelings of emptiness but i'm not sure how
feeling empty feels like and sometimes i don't know how i'm feeling and i don't know if i'm exaggerating those
feelings or i'm actually experiencing them.
sometimes i think those feelings are just a part of growing up and sometimes i feel like those feelings are not normal.
i'm also feeling unmotivated to do anything and i no longer show reactions as much or as easily as i used to do.

those feelings started 2 years ago and they keep getting worse, the only thing that excites me nowadays
is sleeping which is weird.

i've also been experiencing feelings of low self esteem and feelings of worthlessness.

i'm a very patient person and i've been experiencing these two feelings (worthlessness and low self esteem) since
i was a kid and i was able to bear them, but now i'm 19 it's getting unbearable and extreme.
both of my parents were great so they have nothing to do with these two feelings,
my dad was emotionally unavailable but i don't think it has anything to do with it.
however, i was bullied when i was in elementary school so i don't know if this has something to do with those feelings.
middle school and high school were good.

i've been thinking about seeing a therapist just in case, but i keep telling myself it's not necessary.

your opinions and feedback about my situation would be so helpful and appreciated.
i'm not a native speaker so i'm sorry if my english has some mistakes.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    It sounds to me like you are suffering from depression. I think it would be helpful for you that see a therapist, and that there is nothing wrong with seeing one at all. I also want to ask if you have any pets. So do you have any pets? Dogs and cats make life so much better!

      There are days that I feel Depressed and there are days that I'm not,
      I normally do something that makes me happy when feeling this way, sometimes it helps.

    I don't know if it is normal but I feal like you described me to a tee. I often just don't feel like doing anything at al and I feel like no one cares. If you find the answer let me know. I start seeing a shrink in a few weeks.

    You should seek out a therapist if your feelings don't improve.

    You could try experiences outside of your zone-of-confort. Try something you've never done. Some food you never tasted, some place you never visited, etc etc...

    Volunteer at an orphanage or children’s hospital, kids have a way of brightening people up.
