[The Fox & the Hound]

I use to love playing with my little neighbors. Now, I don't enjoy it. I don't even enjoy dogs that much anymore. It use to be a major interested.

I just can't enjoy anything.

Hey there! I feel your pain, I’m not interested in life(work, study…) as much as before, but I still push myself to enjoy it, to build a future, I’m very slow in achieving what I want, but as long I do something it’s fine with me.

I had a year of caring about nothing, I was just waiting to die basically. Then over time things got a little better. Hang on in there, thats depression and it will get better

Depression does that. It causes you to lose interest in things you once enjoyed. I've been thru this sort of thing as well. Hobbies I used to love have been put aside for a while. Hang in there. I am a 52 year old woman with a mother's heart. Take care of yourself.

I know what you mean The Fox & The Hound. I don't enjoy anything and haven't in quite some time.

I hear you, too. It feels like such a weird depression because when I've had it before, I've been overwhelmingly sad. But this time, mostly just nothing, no interest in anything, not caring. It's hard feeling numb, it doesn't seem like really living, just kind of existing.

I too am in this boat... maybe because i am actually dealing with some active grief that the depression is separate? But I am an avid reader - and lately I just stare at the same place on the page. I couldn't even re-read Harry Potter 7; i had to put it down, even though someone dear to me is reading it right now and I wanted to share that experience with them. I couldn't. I know the panic, and the anxiety, and now the grief... this numbness is ...disorienting to me.

I have no good answers or magic solutions, but I sure hope that this will change for you... little by little sometimes we have change and don't even realize it until things are the complete opposite. I can only offer that you're not alone (even though you really may feel alone...). Actually, on that "alone topic", i am finding out that that is actually a feeling. I used to think that alone meant "without others" and was how I lived much of my life. lately, my experience is that "alone" is different than "lonely" (which I didn't often feel), and that it really is a huge part of my isolating and likely part of my depression.
My new therapist was oh so helpful on this the other week. "You know, I think you spend too much time alone". Well thanks for that update LOL, I had no idea!
Take care F&H!

I can 90% understand what you are saying. For me - I can enjoy something for that instant..... I can smile or even laugh at something. Then (very literally) a second later be as "dark" as I can within my head.

I hope you can at least find something that lets you smile for a moment. Everyone NEEDS that.

I feel you. I moved to a new state about 9 months ago and I have yet to make friends and get hobbies. It's pretty lonely
