Do you guys ever get that feeling where nothing is exciting anymore?
Like, the holidays just seem like another day.
My 16th birthday that I had been looking forward to forever was just a school day.
New episodes of my favorite show don’t get me pumped anymore.
Everything is kind of dull and I can’t really like anything anymore.
this, ladies and gentlemen, is a top-notch sign of depression. this is not supposed to be a normal thing to feel.
Other sings of depressions can be:
No hunger. Like, you eat because of the pleasure of it or because you have to, but you aren’t hungry anymore.
Procastrination, even of things you like.
Feeling no sympathy for anything. You begin to question if you love something or someone at all.
Feeling like you are in a dream (depersonalization)
Having trouble sleeping. It can be nightmares, it can be difficulties falling asleep, difficulties waking up, waking up in the middle of the night, etc.
Being really tired without reason.
Intrusive thoughts (that may say that your family doesn’t love you, or that what you are feeling is completely normal, for example. It’s never true)
Not caring about your own security anymore, not because you want to die (most of the depressed people don’t want to commit suicide) but because you just forget it. You forget to look both ways before crossing, wearing your seatbelt or even you can forget about eating.
Desire of isolation. You just want to be alone, and anyone feels like a friend anymore.
Trouble focusing on things.
It’s actually really scary how many of these apply to me
