I don't have the energy to show emotions anymore- I frankly just don't care- it's just an endless everyday cycle anyway. I'm just going through the motions of this stupid life. Last night I layed in bed and I couldn't even sleep for the longest time. I'm so worthless and alone.
I have no reason to keep putting myself through this useless life.

Impassiveness or emotionlessness also characterizes my experience of depression. I cannot tell to what degree my impassiveness is due to the depression itself versus side effects of medications.

Autumn01, you speak of feeling "worthless and alone." Is there a reason you put them together?

I know what that feeling's like. But you're not worthless. None of us is. And you're not alone, you have PC, we're always here to listen to you and support you. It may not be enough, I know, but I hope it helps a little. Lean on us until it gets better.

Hang in there

You're definetly not alone. I have had so many sleepless nights where I just lay there and think, or I dont, I'll just lay there. 2 weeks ago was like this for me. It was very hard to get through, but you can do it. Just remember that nothing in this world lasts forever.
Sometimes that helps me get through the day.
Hang in there.

Hello, Autumn. What one rather simple task that you could complete would make your life better today? What would it take for you to change your life from useless to useful? These questions help me focus on the useful:

What am I thankful for?

Character includes being honest, honorable, and appreciative. It is giving fair return for what you receive and not taking what isn't yours.
Appreciating what you have and receive enlightens your spirit and shows your character. A person who is thankful is often a person who is good.
You can be thankful for such little things as:
  • I'm thankful that had a good breakfast this morning
  • I'm thankful that my leg doesn't hurt any more
  • I'm thankful that I have some good friends
Ask yourself: "What am I thankful for today?"

What did I learn?

You should be able to learn something every day, no matter how old you are. Observe and be curious. There is so much to learn in life.
There are many things you learn:
  • I learned a better way to use the Internet browser
  • I learned where I can buy clothes on sale
  • I learned a new skill at work
Ask yourself: "What did I learn today?"

Where did I do a good job?

Doing high quality work in what you do is important to you and to others. This includes improving the way you do things.
Look at good areas and where you can improve:
  • I did a good job on my homework
  • I did my best in painting the fence, but I could improve
  • I was very thorough in cleaning out the garage
Ask yourself: "Where did I do a good job today?"

Who was I valuable to?

Helping others get what they want makes you valuable. This includes taking an interest in what someone has to say, being friendly, and being considerate.
There are many situations in which you have been valuable to others:
  • I was valuable at work by helping the company make a profit
  • I was valuable to my little daughter by playing with her
  • I was valuable to the checkout clerk by being friendly to her
Ask yourself: "Who was I valuable to today?"

How did I take care of myself?

Taking care of yourself means that you made an effort to be healthy. You may have eaten healthy foods, exercised, or avoided abusing your body with bad substances.
Check on how well you have taken care of yourself:
  • I took care of myself by avoiding eating those greasy--but tempting--bacon strips
  • I took care of myself by doing some moderate exercise today
  • I took care of myself by washing my hands before eating
Ask yourself: "How did I take care of myself today?"

Answering questions

You don't really have to formally answer these questions to feel good. Just asking them sets your subconscious mind in motion. You can't help it, but you will give yourself an answer to each question.

Writing down the answers is probably more effective in the short run, but human nature dictates that most people would soon stop writing things down after a while. The most important thing is to ask the five questions. Try to do it every day, perhaps at the end of the day.

They are reminders to keep you on the right path.

Good luck.
Thanks for this!

Rohag,

No, there isn't any reason why I put worthless and alone together.
I would feel worthless and not good enough even if I wasn't alone.
Thanks for this!
