Don't want to do anything, iin?

Lately, I don't want to do anything.

I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, but I do.

I don't want to brush my teeth or shower, but I do.

I don't want to eat, but I do.

I don't want to cook.

I don't want to clean or do laundry.

I'm consumed by thinking, which leads me to the thought that everyday things are absolutely pointless and not worth doing.

I haven't always felt this way, but I'm at the point where life is just stupid. I feel like there is no point.

I know it's not normal but maybe someone could help me out. I think it may be depression but haven't been diagnosed. I once trudged through depression alone and maybe it'll be the same this time? idk.

    well ive been like this before, its not easy to get out of. one day i feel like im out of it, then the other im back to it. just, be more positive with your outlook on life and get those negative thoughts out. with time and effort, your gonna get those bad habitual thoughts out. remember noones ever happy ALL the time, thats something you have to accept, not all days is gonna be sunny, some days is gonna be cloudy, and its perfectly fine.

    when i have a bad day i always say to myself, "its just one bad day, its gonna be better tommorrow".

    I feel this way but am depressed. I'd go anything to go back to being excited about something.

    I feel this way alot too. You're just depressed. You'll pull through. I'm going through a really tough time, selling all my things and moving state because i became homeless in california and couldnt afford to live. Everyday is a struggle to want to get up and be motiviated. I struggle all the time with being happy and being angry. I dont do alot of things i should do, but i find if i think as positivily as possible i can get through the day.

    Join the club, we've got jackets. We just don't ever feel like putting them on...

    unless it's leather... I wouldn't mind wearing a bad ass leather jacket, just saying.

    I'm the same way. I've been like this for years. I think it's depression.

    I've been feeling this way for a few months now too. I heard of this thing that connects with depression called psychomotor retardation. You have like no energy to do really anything.

    For me, these feelings I have are on and off. Sometimes I feel like it can last up to half a year. I think its because I really don't have much to look forward to like I used to. Pretty much the only reason I get up in the morning is because I know I have to. I know I have work in the morning so I drag myself out of bed. Its like nothing is making me excited for the next day. Maybe thats what you need. You need to plan something, so you can look forward to it.

    I don't know. I feel like I used to always have things to do. I always had at least one thing, at least one day, I looked forward to. And even on the days when I didn't have something to do, I still loved 'doin' myself up for the day, even if that meant just going to the grocery store. But these days it seems kinda strange. I know how you feel.

    It could be depression, but the only suggestion I can think of is like what pretty much everyone else is saying, just find something to keep yourself occupied. It might help take things off your mind a bit, and if you still find you aren't successful, tell someone about how you feel. I'm sure theres someone that will listen. Almost always theres usually at least one with a listening ear. Maybe even seek out a professional.

    It's depression, but once you get up and actually do something, especially exercise, you'll feel a lot better. Don't try to counteract your depression by binge eating though, 'cause that's just a downhill slope.

    Depression sucks. I noticed the busier i am, the better i feel, because I feel like I'm contributing to society every time i go to work.

    Get out the house and occupy yourself. You can beat this.

    Depression can be different from the first episode. Depression isn't merely having bad days and good days. Remember that depression causes you to think negatively so it's not so easy to just think positively. Of course it'll help also don't isolate yourself or it'll make it worse. If you're having bad days every day and you don't even know why anymore you have a problem. Some people don't even have a reason to be depressed but they are. Depression is a mental illness and people think you can just get over it by sheer willpower. Sometimes you can't and sometimes it takes a long time without additional help.

    Your in a rut, i've been through it, and still going through it. You need to find something to do, a hobbie, a passion! What are your goals? You need structure, as do i. But its hard. Glad someone else feels like this though, your not alone!

    You didn't put "but I do" after cleaning and laundry. That worries me. But seriously, it sounds like depression. I don't think it gets easier each time...it's just a viscous cycle that goes away and returns. I really hope you can overcome this once and for all. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with this...just things I read in books in school.

    From the sound of it, I think depression is your best bet. If you've been through it before and lived, maybe this time it'll be easier. The only advice that I can suggest is to break the monotony and do something that you normally would not. Humans are prone to tediousness, maybe by changing the way you live, your outlook on life will change also.
