Why im not happy?

67% Normal
9 Comments

My life is finally getting better and most things are going really well for me now but everyday I just feel drained and empty. I have no happiness inside. Sure I get moments were I feel greatful and excited but it only takes a very tiny thing to make me empty again. My mom keeps asking me if i'm depressed but I say no i'm tired so she asks me "why are you tired all the time?" and I dont know. Some days I feel I can barely move my body and my temper is very short I feel like walking up to the neighbours above, smash their door in and yell at them every obscene thing I can think of for not making their disgusting little goblins be quiet and not make a single sound ever. My brain just starts flashing over the smallest things and I have to remind myself to breathe, calm down. Positive emotions are far away from me but negative ones are very close.

    i think your mom is right, this sounds like depression. depression isn't always sadness, a lot of the time it's feeling empty and having no motivation to do anything, even the things you used to enjoy

    Humans are not designed to be happy and content. If we were we would still be banging rocks together.

    To be happy you have to be constantly setting and achieving new goals.

        You might not gain weight but that doesn’t mean you’re healthy. Yeah, it’s expensive, but it’s better than paying for drugs or being unhappy and tired all the time.

    Altho is normal to feel down, being always tired and just wanting to sleep and avoid the world and feel apathie, usually are signs of depression.

    Try to get to the bottom of this and be more active and involved, find some things you like to do, go more out, talk with friends, try to get back up. If necessary seek a professional but don't think you are at that point. Keep it up!

    “yell at them every obscene thing I can think of for not making their disgusting little goblins be quiet and not make a single sound ever”

    Another great line from iin history.

    Are you by any chance on any SSRIs? This sounds very similar to how I felt when I was on them.
