Hi,
I've been posting a lot lately, but I've never actually touched on this before. You see, for the past few weeks, I have had almost no interest in stuff I used to love. Like writing and art, for example. I just don't feel any motivation to do them, and I don't understand why. My mom has asked my T when we were all sitting down together last session if she thinks I might be depressed because I never want to go out with friends and because I sleep a lot. Well I sleep when I can because school starts so early, and I go out with friends every few months because they always seem to be busy. But the loss of interest is what I can't explain. I know it's a symptom of depression, which is why I'm posting this here. Mods, feel free to move this if it doesn't belong. Does anybody feel similar? I mostly feel very bored all the time, just bored with life. I'm very irritable. But mostly, just bored.

When I was extremely depressed, I had no interest in anything and I was bored with life, especially bored with people and myself. I hope this helps, I do believe you are in the right forum. |

I know what you mean, losing interest in everything is one of the symptoms of depression, I have that too and I'm starting to get worried about college...I used to be smart, but lost interest in studying since a long time ago. :\

IndieSoul-
I definitely loose interest in doing things when I get depressed, even if I'm not particularly sad. I loose interest even in basic things like reading and watching TV, working on research, and hanging out with friends. It tends to be a constant for me when I get depressed. Part of my lack of interest seems to for me to be connected to my inability to concentrate on the things I would otherwise enjoy. If I can't concentrate for more than a couple of minutes on something, even something basic like reading becomes a task and hence not enjoyable. I hope you are feeling better soon. ![]() ![]() |

Hi, IndieSoul! My growing impression is that depression is a multi-faceted monster who manifests somewhat differently in each individual sufferer.

Hey Indie Soul,
Yip lose of interest is 1 of the symptoms. Finding the motivation just isn't there and energy to do anything including eat(well for me) is a huge step. I have just achieved a goal and that is getting up at 930am and walking to a local supermarket then coming to my folks house. This is a BIG GOAL for me as I have been isolating myself recently. We are all different in respects to symptoms but we are all similar with the depression Hope you find some piece of mind ![]() |
