I’m so sick of feeling like I don’t want to do anything. Somehow I found the energy to dig through the closet in my parent’s house to look for an old video game system that was put away, now I stare at that pile of crap I dug out of the closet and can’t find the energy to put it back, I frequently cook and then can’t find the energy to do dishes. I have so many 3/4 done projects in my life it’s absurd. Why was I even digging for old video games anyway? Just something to waste time with when I should be doing something more productive.

I'm having a lot of difficulty with this too. I used to bake bread. Now we're mostly buying it at the grocery store. I used to try playing the autoharp a bit. But I put my harps away several years ago & hadn't even looked at them until a couple of days ago when I got the urge to bring one of them in from the garage where it was stored. I thought I might try tuning it up & plucking on it a bit. So far it's just sitting in its case on the floor of the back bedroom right where I left it when I brought it in.
I suppose winter has something to do with this (at least where I live.) And, in my own defense, I'll also say that doing housework, cooking, & helping to take care of our dog does take quite a bit of time & energy. But I really have to keep pushing myself to do every little thing that does get done. Otherwise I'd just spend all of my time on the internet in front of the fireplace. I had a (virtual) appointment with my pdoc yesterday. (I'm on Clonazepam & Trazadone.) He asked me if I wanted something for mood. But I declined. I've been on antidepressants in the past & they never seemed to do much good then. I doubt it'd be any different now.

It’s just frustrating, I see other people living their lives with so much purpose and enthusiasm, and I don’t, I want to, but I don’t.

COVID restrictions are certainly not helping my depression either, there used to be at least some things I could do, to at least get out of the house from time to time, but now I can’t, or at least I know I shouldn’t. I am glad to hear the vaccines are being rolled out. I may do a little Christmas shopping for my nieces tomorrow maybe that will give me at least a little bit of novelty to shake me out of this funk.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
