Every day I wake up and have to mentally convince myself, "You're going to make it through the day, you can do it." But lately it feels like I can't. It's just to much. I literally force myself to do everything. The only fun I have lasts for a short time before I'm again sad. Anger arises so quickly. The only way I get all these feelings out is through a blade. I can't continue with it, but I don't want life to end. I want a better life. But I want a life where I have friends, where I'm actually happy, where I don't SH, a life where I can do the things I actually want to do, and a life where I can be myself. But I don't have that life. I'm just stuck with mine.

It gets very old and tiring when you have to force yourself to do things. I want to want to do things. There is a stark difference. When I am in periods when I am not depressed I will naturally get up and shower and want to go out and work or do things or whatever without thinking about it.

When even just moderately depressed I have to force myself to do things I don't really want to do. Some times that works to snap me out if it and sometimes it doesn't.

When I am depressed I feel like I have to force myself to do things as well. I have had to peptalk myself, especially in the mornings. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Thanks for this!

I've been feeling this way also. I might as well be scheduling my pep talks. I'm to the point of counting down hours at thing like work until I can go home and come down from putting the non depressed front on.
