As someone who has felt this way for the past few years, I have to say this hits the nail on what it's like. Ever since my mid teens I've been unmotivated to do anything with my life. At this point I'm afraid of doing anything.
Since the pandemic I have become too comfortable with staying inside, never talking to anyone, and never really doing anything. I've only just now started college via online classes at the old age of 20 and already dropped a course because it was just too much for me to handle.
While I think about how useless I am I wonder where it all went wrong and why am I like this? Like, what happened in my life that made me go from a punctual high level student to a broken mess of a person that rarely leaves the house and struggles to do basic things? I mentioned the pandemic, but I've been feeling like this before that happened. All it did was amplify those already existing feelings.
I'm very lucky and privileged to have a mother that is willing to understand my pain, but honestly I only feel worse knowing how much of a burden I am on her. I just feel like I wasted the best years of my life being a sad, reclusive, incompetent, misanthrope and the fact that I will never get those years back makes me feel even worse, like this feeling will only get worse as I get older and am expected to take on more responsibilities that any sane person would be able to handle no problem, but not me. I'm in too deep. Too far gone. At this point I'm waiting for a car to hit me or get struck by lightning, because I don't think I'll be able to climb out of this hole I dug myself into without some miracle.

been feeling this for a really long time as soon as I started highschool 13 until now at the age of 22, lately I'm really worried how my life would be If I dont snap out of this, it affected me in almost everything, everything I do is so boring now even at drawing which I want to be my career, I'm self destructing before I even do something that will improve or help myself. then one time I finally mustered up the courage to ask my parents what should I do, that I need help, and it just sucks, all I hear was them preaching me that all of it was because I lack faith in god, because I dont pray that I got so weakminded,
and all of it was just me justifying and making excuses for my laziness, lack of discipline and having a weak mindset but promise me I tried every most possible way to get out of this shithole.

I definitely resonated with pretty much all of these. I have severe depression and my main problem is that it's easy enough to get medication but I just CANNOT make myself seek any other help such as therapy. I've literally only gone as far as inquiring about therapy but never really gone any farther than that. I WANT therapy honestly I do. But I just CAN'T make myself go.
I DO realize how important it is to go and how detrimental it is to do so, I can't even work to support myself - I'm on welfare/income assistance and they have stated that they'd prefer me to work as well. I'm lucky they haven't forced me to find work yet.
But yeah. I'm basically stuck in a bit of a toxic loop. And that's my story for my depressive laziness.

I have a suggestion or two which I hope may be helpful to some. The book, Depression for Dummies Don't be put off by the title it's meant to be playful. There is good information in the book. Try to find something, even something seemingly small to be grateful for. A sunset, a blooming flower. Find some small chore and do it. This week I took a staycation for 6 days because I was feeling overwhelmed at work. 2 days I sat around brooding, reading napping and over eating, Then the next day I spent time weeding and cooking for rest of the upcoming week. These activities were a helpful distraction. Be well everyone! Oh, used copies of the book can be found online very inexpensively.

I have this kind of depression, I really wanted to be the colorful person I used to be in the past But its so hard. I cant really ask my family or others for help. If I ask a doctor, my family might question me for everything and judge me with judgemental words, pressing me that its my fault for being end up like this. I dont really have close friends I can rely on or boyfriend. In our house, we are also not allowed to have pets for companion. I would like to heal myself but I dont want to make my family involved. But most of the time I cant really do anything by myself. Please share a video on what should I do when I have depression and how to deal with it alone

When I was a kid I played a lot of club soccer and then one year I just couldnt do it. I would cry for hours before going to soccer and lost complete interest in it. My parents would say snap out of it your fine you loved soccer what is happening. Stop laying around and go do something productive. My parents would also say your life is amazing! And I would be like yes but no. Also the your just going through puberty thing. My mom would be like its just your hormones kicking in Ive started to notice your voice get lower too. btw when this happened I was 13 Ten years ago. same age I also suffered a sleeping condition called Somniphobia it was literally hell that year.

So a person can have a great life and still be depressed? I don't think I've ever had much of a life and the life I've had these nearly 65 years has just gone downhill. Here's my life: 1) no in person friends unless you call saying a few words to the few friendly bus drivers friends 2) just 1 person to be around 3) no visits (no friends, no family) 4) no family or friends to visit 5) no counselar as to depressed to find 1 6) no support group as 2 depressed to look for that also 7) no parties, no celebrations 8) no letters from anyone 9) hate my location, hate the entire area I live in 10) to depressed to do much of anything and more. lol

My best friend and me both have MDD (Major Depressive Disorder. Watching this video is what I've tried explaining to her family about how herself isn't lazy. She's very headstrong and talented ontop of this. My way of depression is ignoring my feelings and keeping extremely busy, and hers is all of these above. Polar opposites.
We may have the same diagnosis, but how someone deals with their depression differently isn't means to judge them otherwise. In fact it does the exact opposite as was stated. I hope she's doing better and her loved ones understand it isn't her fault.
Nobody wants to feel this way on purpose.

My therapist was more of a hindrance than helpful! I chose not to go back to Center Stone as long as she's still there. Once I was on time for an appointment with Her. We had a session & by the next visit, I was told that I didn't show up. I even had witnesses to prove that I had shown up. That was when I was put on a permanent walk in basis. Which only had three openings. Which meant, show up early & hope that I got one of the places or wait until an opening becomes available or don't bother showing up. I've basically been trying to deal with My anxiety & other things without professional help for several years now!

1 4 and 6 need to be drilled into everyones heads. When youve lost all hope and despair fills your heart, it drains you. You feel weaker, tired, disenchanted and ultimately apathetic. You adopt a Whats the point mentality and gradually give up on everything. As the pain piles on, it breaks you. Your will, your desire, your very soul is broken. You become a zombie, waiting and wanting to die. There are no tears or screams; you feel hollow and empty. You dont feel anything anymore. Youre a walking talking corpse seeking your own grave.
Thats what happened to me

I will be honest, this entire video called me out. For seven years, I have been suffering and struggling with depression immensely. Alongside coexisting anxiety, ADHD, and being a heyoka empath, there are countless challenges to be overcome. Watching these videos not only reminds me it is okay to feel all these feelings, it also keeps the hope in my heart. For anyone struggling any scale of challenges, remember to not give up. It may seem impossible, just know that it is worth every ounce of strength it takes to reach the light at the end.

As someone who has interval depression I believe mine stems from my low immune system and how overworked it gets. I have Lyme disease and a parasite that is giving Lyme an escape from my immune system becoming a breeding ground. My body is too overworked like a cpu that has a full disk drive. Depression is not the cause, its a symptom. Depression and anxiety are your bodies fire alarm system telling you that you need to change something to work better.

People told me I'm lazy since grade 6. They also told me I wasn't achieving my potential since grade 2. Now I've completely isolated myself, drink more than I eat, barely clean myself or my home, and am unwilling to be convinced I'm not completely worthless. Depression is the only comfort I know.
Yeah, I couldn't even get my goddamn comment right the first try. ffs.

Diagnosed with depression. Like I FORCE myself to go to work when I have to work, but on my days off I can't even get out of bed. Activities I would normally find fun, exciting, or interesting, I can't even bring myself to do. That's when I realize it's not laziness when I can't even find the motivation to have fun.

Validating your mental issues won't solve your issues. Its gonna take society learning to appreciate one another for who they really are instead of allowing and justifying societal beauty and personality standards. When are we gonna stop justifying shitty people and this belief of ThE WoRLd iS a NaStY PlaCe

Eating anything with flour in sets me off and makes everything that is already depressing that much worse. Cane sugar also a big no. The sound of traffic also sets me off from where I exist to survive living. Standing to do something I don't have to stand doing is another one.

This is me 100%. The medicine I need is to be prescribed $5, 000 per week. That's not a joke that's really what I need. I'm getting older it's difficult to work. and every investment turns to garbage so I just need to be prescribed $5, 000 a week and then I will feel fine.
