My depression is so bad that I don't even get bored. What the heck? I sit like an object on a shelf, time just goes by. Not just days but weeks. I don't do anything nor do I feel like doing anything. Does anyone else have this problem??
Thanks for this!

Used to have one but stopped thinking about time.
I'm not saying it is the right thing to do.
Hugs.

i can totally relate... just before i was diagnosed i walked out at night and sat by the river in the snow for 8 hours doing nothing... i didnt really notice time go by. i guess my heads jsut so filled with everything that its somewhat soothing to do nothing but think, as much as i dont want to deal with what im thinking about.
you'll be "normal" and happy again one day. :] x

Yes - I've been on Social Security since 1995. I don't know what I've done through that time until now.
Aside from putting myself in dangerous situations - later finding out I was subconscienly trying to comment S

Wanted you to know you are not alone and we are sorry you are feeling this way. Know the feelings of losing not just days but weeks. Of feeling as though you are sitting on a shelf and time going by. Wondering if anyone even notices that I am here or cares.

But we do care and are hearing you. You are okay and make sense. Everything you said we understand. And just being able to express what you feel is something to feel good about.

You are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you for these feelings. I wish I could take them from you and carry them for you. I would. I hope you will be kind to you and do something for yourself. Whether it is taking a hot shower or a walk outside, or something to get off that shelf.

I know it can be tough when everything seems to close in around you and you sometimes get an almost suffocating feeling. But know we are here to walk with you so you are not alone. I will even bring you a step stool to get off the shelf.

Keep reaching out here. You do matter and you are being heard.

Yes. I rarely if ever experience boredom in depression. Your case as you've described it is a bit different, though. My mind impels me one way and the other such that, at varying intervals, I find myself engaged in changing activities, thoughts, or what are left of my habits.

Yes.

I have done that before...

It's like being nothing, doing nothing, worth nothing
