Story You know you’re depressed when..

[AgingLoser]

...you feel bad for no reason.

On paper I have what you would consider a good life. I have a long term marriage, grown children, a decent career, a nice house on a cul de sac, even grandchildren. An yet almost every day I feel like an irredeemable loser who has no business drawing breath.

Often feel like I feel bad for no reason, but I think it's more just that I learned to distance, detached and disconnect from certain feelings and thought processes as a defense mechanism. So the reasons are still there, just not so clear to me until I step outside or turn on the tv or something.

Even if you have a "great life" materially, maybe you're missing something emotionally. Wishing you the best.

Waking up each morning is a struggle. I don't want to open my eyes. I don't want to get out of bed. I just want to lay there and die.

... when everything you used to love seems like a lifetime away and you lay in bed for long periods of time even though you don't even enjoy it.

 

[Daystavro]

You don't have the energy to do anything , even the basic hygenic stuff like showering or brushing your teeth and you just want to lay in bed in the dark all day.

When you find any enjoyment in the little things let alone the bigger ones, when you feel numbed but overwhelmed all at once, when you all you do is will the time to pass faster everyday as you try to make it through.
