I’m living a very bad time with my depression and my social anxiety. I don’t know which is worse. All I know if that I lack of motivation to do things and I feel trapped each day in a ban of ways to escape such as, sleeping, drinking, eating...I want to do things well but I don’t have the energy.
I feel insecure and hopeless. I’m even taking meds for depression so it’s supposed they are doing their job. I’m thinking about making an appointment with my psychiatrist to see what we can do.
I don’t know what else to do. I simply lack of motivation and energy. It has been a long time since I didn’t feel so empty.

Hope u overcome it, it's not that easy yes!
Ordinary tasks to do under such depression can be impossible even to think about!
Stick to ur meds and to positive thoughts and making an appointment with ur psychiatric therapist would be the best steps to do,
Hope you get better.

Hey Azul,

At times when I've felt unmotivated and lacking energy for too long, that's when I've pushed myself outside to go for a walk. To get 'fresh' air (I live in a city so I don't know how fresh the air really is, but still), and I listen to the birds and the sounds of life, even the cars and buses going by. Just walking and observing, contemplating things (good things). I find it has a way of re-energizing a level of positivity back into the self, Azul.

Also, yes, talk with your psychiatrist about everything going on in your life at present. I think you'll start to feel alive again, friend.

Keep your spirit alive and fret not. Things will work themselves out.

I think seeing calling your psychiatrist is a good idea. Sounds like the meds aren't helping enough.

Also, when you say drinking, I'm not sure if you meant alcohol. But alcohol is a depressant and it interferes with your meds. So it may be best to cut back.
Thanks for this!
