I used to be a really happy person, social and fun to be around, but this deep depression has changed me and I feel like I can't be myself anymore. I ended up lonely after high school, I gradually lost all my friends. I'm in University now, and I can't seem to make new friends. I don't even talk to people anymore, I just sit there like an idiot, I'm deeply depressed even though I have no idea why. I've been in therapy for years and it hasn't helped. I don't feel like doing anything and everything seems pointless to me. I'm starting to fear that I'll always be depressed. It's been 4 years now. I was even dumped by my boyfriend two months ago for being too distant, I've been on two dates recently, and both were terrible. All I could think of during those dates was how much I didn't want to be there and how miserable my life is. I don't feel like dating at the moment.

    I was in a similar situation, and the only way to get out of it was to force myself out there. Swam through boring people until I found friends, and started doing activities with the greatest MEH feeling. I didn't feel like playing the guitar that I haven't touched in 5 years but I did. Nor did I feel like entering a volunteering association. Do stuff. A lot of stuff.

    It's normal. Maybe try different therapists.

      I agree. This person's gotta try to do stuff and gain confidence

      And she can try to hang out with her friends again if she wants

    It's normal for someone who is depressed to feel lost. Disconnected from their self, other people, and the world in general. That's one of the things that makes it so terrible.

    There will be a point where it finally goes away and you will have that feeling of having to go tell someone when something exciting happens, something that it feels impossible to you now.

    You hate yourself because you don't do anything. Focus on hobbies where you create things and improve yourself—those are the ones that make you feel the day wasn't wasted and that allow you to love yourself.
