nothing makes me happy

i've tried everything.

movies
books
puzzles
games
exercise
art and crafts

i don't know. i get enjoyment out of some of these things but it doesn't really make me happy. it's mostly just movies i enjoy now. none of the activities i usually like make me happy that's all i want is to be happy.

Have you thought about seeking treatment for your depression? Treatment does make a difference. In the meantime, hugs!

I love movies, a short escape from reality and getting lost in a different world.

Hi LMD,
I hope you don't mind that I abbreviated your name. If you prefer the whole thing, just correct me, I promise I'll get it right the next time!

I understand what you are saying. I had a long conversation about this with a friend of mine because I felt the same way. I used to enjoy reading and going out with friends but anything outside of laying in the bed or on the couch all day felt like work. So even though reading may make me happy or keep my mind off of the things in my life that make me unhappy, it's not a permanent "fix" so to speak.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, but if you aren't seeking treatment then it may be an option to look into. Before I became depressed, I enjoyed helping people and making a difference in their lives. Right now I'm still struggling but I'm getting to a point that I may be able to do things like that again. I hope that you are able to find something soon. Good luck!

As a side note, I recognized your profile picture as the cover from "Catching Fire" from the Hunger Games. Is that because you like the movie/book, or is it just because you like the picture?

thanks.

i really loved the first movie and i'm excited to see catching fire. i never read the books though.

I could have written this... I feel like that as well. Not interested. Not trying to bring you down, just wanted to let you know are not alone.

I think that changing meds if you are on them might help.

Still sending you (((((((((hugs)))))))

Hi Little Miss Death,
Read the books, they are great

When I'm depressed, I have to get some sunlight, change my environment, and help others. If those don't help lift my mood, then I know I need a med change!! Best of luck!

Ditto this! Books are AWESOME! If you've been looking for a good read the first 2 are awesome. Not sure about the 3rd.
