I literally don't like anything anymore. I'm sick of school, and holidays aren't any better. I try to find new music but nothing I find is worth listening to. I try to find new video games to pass the time but they're all real boring. I try to find movies and shows to watch but I don't feel interested in them at all. I've never found any sports to be my kind of activity either. I find hanging out with my friends has also become quite boring and I'd rather spend the time by myself in my room. Lately I've been finding myself just laying around in my room because there's nothing better to do. I don't know what I'm going to do when I finish school because I don't like any of the subjects I take and all the options I have once I leave school sound really uninteresting. I can't understand why I feel this way and it's making me feel like there's no reason to continue living my life. Am I the only one?

      Or possibly borderline personality disorder.
      Don't be kind of "scared off" by all the big words or w/e, but if you suddenly start feeling this way without any explanation, it does sound like the beginning of depression. You may want to see a doctor, or talk to someone.

        Actually I've been feeling this way for a while. It didn't happen suddenly.

          It doesn't have to, I remember it happened to me. I really suggest you look into treatment for depression. It really helps.

        I'm not scared off. Borderline Personality Disorder is misunderstood and gets a bad rap quite often. I think the negative stigma is a big reason why a lot of Borderlines get misdiagnosed as Bipolar.

    I don't know how old you are but it seems like you are still fairly young. I think you are just going through a phase that everyone goes through at one point or another. You will feel "normal" again soon enough. Just count your blessings in the mean time and watch family guy or something else that is funny/distracting.

    You sound depressed or something of that nature. I've felt similar things and am still looking for things that I enjoy (no luck as yet... it was tough when video games lost their appeal) saying this-I'm determined to keep trying so please don't give up-you'll find something that excites you eventually :)

    I was lucky in a way... When my sister was born that honestly gave me a reason to keep going-she means everything to me.

    As for music here's a suggestion for YouTube: MrSuicideSheep . Really helped me out-he just uploads really peaceful but subtly uplifting music (despite the name)

    Hope something in my ramblings helped-take care :)

    I'm actually in a stage like that now, and I can assure you that those are all symptoms of depression. Depression runs in my family and when I'm having an episode I feel exactly like that, like nothing matters or is worth it, not even things I love and liked to do before. Everything is boring and nothing is worth doing. I used to be on antidepressants and they helped a lot, my depression was in remission for a long time even after I stopped taking them. Other things you can do to get better is to eat healthy, sleep well and exercise regularly. Sounds generic but trust me, it helps. When I've been in a slump like you have, exercising every other day made me feel like I had enough energy to enjoy life again.

    A book that helped me a lot was The Depression Cure: The 6-step Program to Beat Depression Without Drugs. I suggest everyone with depression or depressive symptoms reads it.

    Stop depending on mindless music, movies and video games and read a freaking book! You can find them at a place called the "library."

      I can't argue with you on the video games there. Excessive video game play can cause Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder among other things.

    I can see how your feeling like that life can be boring alot of times maybe you need someone in your life to make it worth living you didnt say if your a Guy or Girl but maybe you need to find a Girl Friend or Boy Friend.

      Oh sorry, I'm a guy. I had a seemingly perfect girl who made life worth living for a short time, until she suddenly changed and didn't want to be with me anymore. It's just a matter of waiting for somebody else but the chances of someone that perfect coming into my life anytime soon are very low.

        It's never a good idea to rely on one person for emotional security and happiness anyway. Because you never know what will happen, and if that person goes, so too does the single thing that keeps you going.

        So I don't agree with Hottigene's suggestion of finding a girlfriend as some kind of solution. It's a bad idea.

    Why don't sign up as an organ donor, go on the internet and find a way to end your life without harming your organs so those who want a life can have one?
    At least that way you can do something good for a few people and stop bitching like a crybaby.
    Poor little you.

        Why? Because I'm tired of reading this crap from privileged middle class Americans while so many in the world don't have the basic necessities to survive?
        Refugee camps in so many places these days, inhabited by people who want so badly to have a place to live without war, but who watch their children die anyway because there isn't enough medicine, food, clean water or doctors.
        People who have no place to live, no place to sit comfortably in front of a computer and write drivel about their "horrible" lives while eating McD and a sipping a cherry Coke?
        I do not feel sorry for the people on here who bemoan their existence, when they are perfectly healthy, live in a safe community, have enough food and clean water to drink and could go out into the street without fear that one side or the other will blow them to pieces or shoot them dead because they are of the wrong sec or just collateral damage.
        There is work to be had here, if one is not too lazy, movies, malls, video games or just a walking in a park, all without fear of death or dismemberment.
        Come on people, get off your asses and enjoy the life you've been offered. You only get one shot at this, why waste it?

          You obviously don't understand depression, which is a MEDICAL CONDITION. It has nothing to do with whether the person actually has a "good life" or not, and needs treatment to resolve itself.

            Balderdash!
            Did you know most women in the third world do not experience PMS? That scientists have determined that it a learned syndrome?
            Depression is not the cause, it is the symptom. Mollycoddling children from infancy, having shrinks available at every level of education and generally creating a society that does not have to take responsibility for ANYTHING, has left us with a society of emotionally crippled citizens.
            All these "depressed" people need to get off their lazy asses and live the life they have been offered. Get off the computer and go down to a shelter; help feed the homeless, hustle blankets from their friends for these unfortunates, get involved in saving the planet or even get into politics; DO SOMETHING!!!!
            Stop listening to the pill pushers, who need to keep their patients coming back to survive, who don't honestly give any more of a crap about consequences than the assholes on Wall Street.

              You don't seem to understand science either. Do you know how to tell good science from bad science, or do you only pay attention to what justifies your pre-existing beliefs, regardless of its methodological integrity? There's a lot of junk science out there, but I think you're pegging the pseudoscience on the wrong people due to your scientific illiteracy.

              YES, depression is a disease, and I've lived it. Have you? Yes, it's a symptom of our society, but not for the reasons you think--and while it can be fixed without antidepressants, the solution is not what you think. "The Depression Cure: The 6-step Program to Beat Depression Without Drugs" is probably the best book I've read on the subject and everything the author says is backed up by scientific research. Depression has more to do with our junk diets and sedentary, isolated lifestyles than anything to do with "mollycoddling children", responsibility or any form of social activism.

              I agree that antidepressants treat the symptoms of depression and not the cause, but that's just part of a fucked-up system where pills are cheaper than a healthy lifestyle. But hey, they work.

              And by the way, just because the existence of PMS might be controversial (I personally don't know, I haven't read the literature), that doesn't mean that depression or the entirety of the mental health field is.

          I completely agree, yet do you ever wonder why more and more "privileged" individuals show signs of depression and other mental illnesses these days? It seems that the world population is very polarized with very little healthy medium. Either you live in a developed nation sipping cherry coke on your computer feeling very unsatisfied with the monotony of your privileged life or you live in a place that is constantly a battle zone rarely getting to indulge in the necessities.

          I believe that each extreme is very unhealthy obviously, but each in very different ways. The way things are now show exactly how corrupt and messed up the world is really run. Otherwise there would be way less of the two extremes going on. You know the whole wealthy minority running most of the world etc etc.....

          I agree with what you are saying though. No arguments here. Enjoy the privileges you have now. You may not have them forever. Ron Jeremy Loves birds.

            Thanks.
            I believe we are the few.
            I remember when I was in grade school, the bus taking us home slid off the road and landed on it's roof in a muddy ditch (about a 30' fall). People came and got us out and we were taken home; there were no injuries. It was expected we attend school the next day and not a word was said by the faculty and there was no hoard of shrinks to "help" us get over the trauma.
            There was no "child abuse" back then; if your actions warranted discipline, it was your parent's responsibility, yes responsibility, to do it. No school personnel or underpaid, under educated social workers were involved.
            Kids were either on the winning team or they lost; no "everyone gets a trophy because there are no losers here" attitude. Stupid attitude; how does this prepare a child for the real world? That's crazy.
            So there's been a major incident at your school, with fatalities; it happens daily around the world. But here the shrinks get rich and the students get emotionally crippled. If one is not allowed to deal with a tragedy in one's own way, but must be told exactly how they should feel and act, then how is one to learn to deal with real life. If you survived, and you are not one of the injured, be thankful and get on with your life for christ's sake!
