i have a lot of interests and things that i want to try but i’m not excited, motivated or energized enough to do them. i told my therapist about it and she said that it was just my depression. it’s kinda weird though, because even if i forced myself to indulge in one of my interests there would be nothing there. no excitement, no happiness, no feelings of fulfillment, nothing.

i often wonder if i’m going to always be like this. i go from feeling nothing whatsoever emotionally to feeling sadness so deeply and just crying and crying and crying. it’s kinda draining at times, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Just wanted to know if anyone had any tips that i could use to cope with the numb feeling and to combat this weird space i’m in with trying to pursue my interests but also not doing so because depression is sucking everything out of me to the point where i literally just want to isolate myself and stay in bed.

(edit: i see someone recommended socialization. i’d like to add that i have social anxiety as well so that makes it a bit harder for me to leave my house and go to places like the gym, or anywhere else as well.)
