To lose yourself

51% Normal
27 Comments

I used to be a nice, outgoing guy. Over the past six months I haven't been myself, I used to be very fit, now I just can't exercise, I cant get out of bed most days, I cant read books anymore, just breathing feels like work. I quit my job, dropped out of school, cut off contact with friends. My days consist of watching tv and dreaming about the future, I just cant snap out of this, Im gone, Im a dead soul in a body.

      Doctors can also direct you to a therapist, who will help you talk through the causes of your depression and work out ways to cope.

    Holy mother of maggot shit. I feel the same way. I go through this kind of phase quite a lot. It just comes and goes. Sometimes, lasts only for 2 weeks but last year it lasted for half a year, and basically trying to put it all back together is the hardest. I don't even imagine the future. All I want is for everything to stop or for the world to explode or just die or stop existing altogether. Gimme a heads up if ya find a solution soon.

    Hi friend !
    I understand what your going threw ! Try your hardest to think positive! Push yourself to hang with positive people. Ik at first you will hate everything about it and , think wtf am I doing here but it grows on you and you start doing more stuff and being happy ! Lol yay! Haha I'm sorry your going threw a rough patch. I'm hope you will pull through. If it gets worse please tell mommy. Maybe you need to talk to someone? Going to a therapist isn't scary. When I went I got used to it and it's helped me a lot !!! It will do the same for you ! hang in there IIN user !

    I feel you. I try so hard to stay in contact with the people around me but slowly they're starting to ignore me as well and we're drifting apart. Now that I'm out of school for the summer, I don't really do to much since I don't really have anyone to talk to. Basically, this, Facebook and Xbox Live is my life right now. Kind of sucks, but eh...

    You said you dream about the future. What kind of dreams? I don't think your soul is dead, just lost. I wish you luck in finding it.

    Don't let it conquer you, remember the things that are important to you. One day your just going to snap out of it. Don't make that mistake even if everything else seem pointless keep doing them, go to school, get a job and get on your feet. Keep your self going so when you do snap out of it you haven't ruined your life. You may have stopped but time wont for you and by the time your clock starts ticking again it maybe too late for you to start working where you left off at because that time it gone. help yourself by staying in school and getting a new job, it may be hard but you have to, don't give yourself the chance of regreting it.

    You sound depressed, but please don't take my word for it, go see someone.

        I've totally lost interest in sex, I can barely stand to make my morning coffee. I think I may be dying.

          First of all, at times like these you can't not have anything to do, because if you don't, well, you won't. I've been you. Take it from someone who's been in your shoes, your first action, even before looking for professional help, is getting engaged in a daily activity that you have to do, I would suggest starting with school, even if it sounds like the last thing you want to do. It will organize you externally and allow for you to start organizing internally. This is just a start, not a solution, not at all, but I remember this type of change being what made the big difference in my life and my depressions. It could be work, I only suggested school because if you fail to show up it's not as bad. It could also be anything else, like volunteer work, as long as you're commited to it. It doesn't matter if you don't feel like it. Do it. The rest follows.

              Know what I say? I'm so sorry you're going through this, but if you only have a limited amount of time left...

              Why not pack your shit and go adventuring? Backpack around, find rides, odd jobs, see the world and do some crazy ass shit. Enjoy the time you have left.

              I don't know you at all... but I'll be wishing the best for you, for what it's worth.

              I have had a lung infection twice in my life and i'm fine, they are really common in potheads. You're being a drama queen.
