Is it normal that i don't enjoy anything?

I used to enjoy all kinds of things, like going to the gym, movies, mall,playing video games, watching TV, etc. But for the past year or so I just don't enjoy anything anymore. I've tried to force myself to do the things I used to enjoy, but it just feels like a chore. I've been feeling depressed thinking what's the point in life at all? If it's just going to be me waking up, going to work, coming home, eating, sleeping, then repeat. I know I should find a job I enjoy, but that's kinda hard when I no longer enjoy anything. Maybe it's because I actually have zero friends, idk. Is this normal? I know it's probably not. Does anyone else feel this way or have any suggestions?

    Try to get lots of exercise, but if you must, try and get treatment for depression. I would hold of from medication unless nothing else works. First maybe get a blood test and make sure your vitamin levels are ok, rule out something simple like anaemia or vitamin D deficiency, you would be surprised how being low on iron can change your mood. If you are healthy I would try a heavy exercise routine and getting out in the sun before seeing psychiatrist.

    When youre not at work try your best to get out of the house. Even if you just go to the store and walk around. For me staying in the house can make me lose it.

    Anon.
    life is what you make it.
    You can give up.
    or
    You can step up.
    The fact you grew up in poverty can do 2 things.
    1 Decide thats what life just is.
    2 Let that motivate you to build a better life.
    The immigrants Ive known didnt come here just to remain poor.
    They came here for the opportunities to have a better life.
    So there it is.
    You can step up, or wallow in self pity.

    I used to feel like this and it freaked me out. I was awake but I couldn't wake up. I didn't fear death so much, and would put myself in danger to see if I could feel afraid of anything. Being outdoors will help, and living slowly. Not trying to squeeze pleasure out of everything around you, but just observing it. The clouds are so big and beautiful, and if you listen, you can hear the world moving around you, no one thing will happen exactly the same way. Life is an RPG will the best graphics you will see, infinite possibilities, and the best puzzles.
    This may annoy you, but I'm telling you because I love you as a sibling through Christ. I was saved through prayer and living simply. I only ate what I needed, and only watched things if it would have purpose. I watched what was around me. If you give faith to God, He will save you. Abandon everything to belief. Pray daily. Read lamentations. I swear, when it felt like I had woken up, it was like seeing colour for the first time, and being born again. I had never felt so alive, and happy.

    See a Dr and get on antidepressants. Dont put it off, you can enjoy life again.

    Sounds like depression. What happens when you're depressed is you lose motivation and you have a hard time finding joy in anything.
    I can relate.
    Try going outside and really being mindful of the nature around you, a good tip to be naturally mindful is taking photos because then you have to keep an eye out for nice things and it feels rewarding later if you succeeded with some cool pics. Idk, just something that works for me.

    That's pretty much my life. Find happiness wherever you can.

    I have nothing to offer.
    I cant really relate to you at all.
    Ive seen what actual poverty looks like.
    Your posts looks like nothing but someone feeling sorry for themself.
    We all get down sometimes.
    But if you stop and think about it.
    You are better off then millions of people on this earth.
    Be greatfull.

    • Literally lived in poverty my whole life. You obviously don't know me, no point in commenting that.
