I am diagnosed with dysthymia which is mild form of depression.
I don't feel strong empathy anymore. I don't feel sad, i don't feel happy, i don't feel shit.
The worst part is that i have dysthymia and not major depression so i don't wanna kill myself.
I will suffer till i die :(

Examples of symptoms include lost interest in normal activities, hopelessness, low self-esteem, low appetite, low energy, sleep changes, and poor concentration.
>so is this depression?

Vague unease. Depression is what u get when u deny your true emotions.
Or feeling one way and having society tell you that feeling isnt ok. Thats depression. Sound depressing? Well it is. And its fucking tiring

Op here
>I feel happy almost all the goddam time , which gets pretty annoying. Its extremely hard for me to feel some type of down (with no syndrome). But yea was just curious.

I do this all the time but i still end up happy. So idk

U sound like a psychopath. Im kinda jealous

Depression is having all the free time in the world, all the money you need to get things done, and finding yourself on Sup Forums replying to threads about a Bald Girl who wants to take guns away.

>Dysthymia characteristics include an extended period of depressed mood combined with at least two other symptoms which may include insomnia or hypersomnia, fatigue or low energy, eating changes (more or less), low self-esteem, or feelings of hopelessness. Poor concentration or difficulty making decisions are treated as another possible symptom. Mild degrees of dysthymia may result in people withdrawing from stress and avoiding opportunities for failure. In more severe cases of dysthymia, people may even withdraw from daily activities.[10] They will usually find little pleasure in usual activities and pastimes
Wow this sounds like me.

Can mean different things for different people, but for me it's anhedonia
Pretty similar to . You don't feel strong emotions unless brought to them from an outside event (IE a breakup, death of loved one).
Happiness doesn't exist, and anything you used to do to enjoy yourself is now just to "pass the time".
Drugs are a temporary relief, but I know if I rely on them they will only take me further from genuine happiness.
It's shitty, but all you can really do is hold on to the slim hope that you'll find the right magic medication.

>20 trap thread

Loss of motivation for things you liked before you got depressed, almost complete loss of positive emotion, feeling really dull and pointless, thinking you're just a burden to everyone else and seeing life as a burden, deep down you wish you'd just stop existing.

>broke up with gf yesterday because I couldn't feel love out of the relationship and didn't feel it was fair since she put love in and got nothing from me
did I fuck up bros?

Done the same thing some years ago.
I dont feel regret, but my life is emptier now.

It feels like wishing you were dead/never existed at all over all else.

feels tired, feels hopeless, death is imminent for us all, after all. no interest in anything , unable to feel joy.

I smile and laugh but it doesnt warm me.
Helping someone is feels meh, when i was lil kid it warmd my heart to help someone.
Im constantly stuck in childhood memories. Good memories and bad memories haunt me the same.
I should be going to school every day but i dont go even half the time.
Constantly looking for realistic reasons to kill myself but i dont because im going to destroy a part of my little sisters early life if i do so.
Went for sum doctor help and got my concerta recipe redone and after that talkd about the deppression and the doc says meh lets see what concerta does first. so far concerta has been shit that makes me stare and starw.
I eat like a fat american but still body weight is 77kg, diet is candy, soda, trash food, ready food from store and alcohol.(When i havent taken concerta)
i smoke 2 packs of cigs in a week.
Basicly im trying to gain hapiness from addictions.
One of my major addictions include computer.
How do i have money? goverment support.
I sleep 12-14h per day. I have been living alone for 5 years and propably keep living alone.
Got 4 frends but they live far.

I'd recommend seeing a psychiatrist instead of a general practitioner. Psychs will be able to give you a better medication for your specific symptoms than a general practitioner who always gives the same medications to anyone with depression.
Godspeed user

Did the same thing a couple weeks ago. Don’t miss her but I miss the intimacy and familiarity that I had with another person that I fear I can never replace

Feels like not even porn is interesting

propapby right. tnx user.

Incredible sadness with no point of origin and no end. It can happen any time and for any reason, you cannot escape it, you can only live with it until you die with it... Kinda like aids

Except you actually get aids from someone

Having aids and depression seems like a terrible outcome. Imagine having a bad immune system and being depressed. Wouldn't you like eventually die from the inside out lol?

Lol

I'd say the only positive out of it is being a marathon man in bed.
Seriously if I jerk off earlier in the day I can go in bed for an indefinite amount of time. I don't enjoy it, but at least makes my self esteem slightly higher.
Would rather last 2 seconds in bed and be happy than what I have now though.

Checking /b at least once a day to be disappointed it's still just trap, cockr8, and general faggotry threads over and over again

I don't see happiness for myself in any way shape or form in the future.
I'm living for literally no reason
I don't want to do things, I just want to stop.
I'm tired of living, and I hate that I can't just stop.

That's not depression. That's faggottry.

Checking it more than once per day for those things is depressed faggottry.

don't know. i'm too full of anger.

you're a failure.

I probably work a better job than you.
I have a loving family, and a close group of friends I hang out with all the time.
I'm just tired of being alive.

yeah beating off, and sleeping all day by yourself sounds pretty depressing.

way to project there dude. i'm not the depressed on here. you are, and i doubt you have a better job. you need a family to survive, yet i have an awesome savings account all to myself for all of my hard work.

I mean if you stay in bed all day and whack the mole then you'll definitely be depressed
It sucks but the only way to break through is a mix of magic medicine, social contacts and most importantly leaving your comfort zone

cool 2 tards arguing anonymously

when i get depressed i think of all my past relationships, and roomates and realize how happy i am not to be bothered. makes you feel good.

welcome to Sup Forums. first day?

I mean fair enough, some people are more introverted than others.
Although if all your social contact comes from Sup Forums, I'd say you need a change. Just one good friend can make all the difference.

nah, its just so beautyful when it happens, brb imma get some popcorns

well i still have drinking buddies. but they get annoying after a while too..
i'm abandoning the thread sorry man.

np

I'm projecting? you got on here to tell me I'm a failure
my point was I'm doing very well in life, I don't NEED anything, I've been moved out since I was 17, my bank account is plenty full thanks
>an awesome savings account
cool dude

>living with severe depression for over 2 years
> Sup Forums is the only place i feel at home
>tfw

how do you qualify for government support? are you from the US?

not from usa, but goverment supports here students with very small amount of money that gets the rent payd and noodels to the table.

i mean probably harder said then done, try eating healthy, getting a bit of exercise and maybe trying to get a job, even if its shitty minimal wage McDonald's job, worked for me, having a shit job is great for meeting people and REALLY makes you want to get a good job.

you know when you walk into a room and forget what you wanted to do there in the first place ? that but with life in general. Also just feels painfully empty

You know, if you were truly tired of being alive, you wouldn't have the energy to get up of your own volition to ordain your life. Clearly you share some cognitive dissonance.

It sounded like you needed a resolution to being alive, or how you felt about being alive. And that you family, friends, and jobs were not capable of providing that resolution. So something is amiss. Surely, you need something.

It feels like you're empty inside

I can feel you. but you need to get out of your home.
Watch BasedZeus on youtube.

Doing the same thing again and again with no end in sight. Having to deal with empty repetition, an endless rehearsal you have been over a thousand times. There is no change. Life is just the same bland taste in your mouth after a night of sitting in your chair doing nothing.

stop beating for some days and see the results .
start cardio and rich diet.

You think you're happy.

Thus you are.

you need to find something you are passionate about. My man, dont give up.

find passion my man.
everything else is secondary

>this sounds like me

See a doctor.

This sounds a lot like me too, so that's what I'm going to do.

Just get the process started.
It's something, at least.

I smell faggotery

raspekt

for me it's just constantly being tired. like, i can't do anything, i have no energy. nothing helps.

You didn’t fuck up. You did the right thing because if you kept it going, it would have been harder for her in the future. I’m sure you cared for her so by ending the relationship she can now move on with a better life.it was your last gesture of kindness towards her.

honestly i have never known and always wondered myself until this week. i have always seen myself as a relatively positive person in spite of all the shit that goes on everywhere.
i never thought about it in true detail or cared too much about others as i just felt it was a strong sensation of sadness. i now know. it is stronger than sadness, even strong sadness it is an entire beast in itself,
a whole other emotion its been making me feel lethargic more than anything, sleeping extremely early and not wanting to do anything except come home and lie down or just sit. i cant focus on anything or think about anything except
how i feel. its overwhelming. normally i occupy myself by jerking off or playing video games or even cahtting to some people i know but i just felt like staying indoors and staring at the walls. i mad me lose my libido significantly,
call it a curse or blessing i dont know. but there is an apparent physical side to this mental state. i feel the usual traits i do when i feel im going to cry, all the time. like my body being tense and constantly stiff, and i have
no desire to eat or drink, i dont get thirsty or hungry or anything like that. i just sit and blame myself as really i feel everything is my fault and i need to stop being such a bitch which makes me pity myself. this is most likely
just personally for me due to my previous ignorance. I would like to put my respect forward to any and all of those who have overcome this state and good luck to those who are going through it

exact same here, turns me into a different being almost.

I find it to be a period of consistently reoccurring negative thoughts.

These thoughts reaffirm each other until you, in a sense, brainwash yourself into believing them.

These thoughts become habitual, thus becoming your reality.

Habits are hard to break, especially when the habit in question causes a sense of hopelessness.
