Question is what do you do after you have lost all your friends due to depression after isolating yourself for over a year due and even lacking "motivation" to even get out of bed in the morning? Depression is an mental illness, but it differs as much as people do. It's not math. I'm happy for her, but there's so much more.

I've been depressed since i was around 11 or 12 and I'm 22 now and it's still here. Honestly don't think it'll ever be fully gone it's just kinda always there. Don't care about anything not passionate about anything I feel lost and just wanting to leave earth tbh haha it's a really weird feeling if you e never felt it before but its also so hard to help people with it and when you tell people you have it they don't believe you or tell you to just not be sad but it isn't being sad at all.

For me depression is the constant search for reasons to continue living. I think of my family with whom I have few contacts and I cling to wanting to help them and that gives me a reason. I think about the suffering I will cause and it gives me one more reason to continue living, I look for external motivations that are strong enough because my own simply do not matter to me. I don't care about wanting to be an opera singer anymore, I don't care about becoming a millionaire anymore, I don't care about wanting to become a translator or a chef, I don't care about anything anymore. I do things just to keep myself distracted from the flood of thoughts that constantly torments me. My biggest enemy is time, the more time I have, the more I think and the more I sink. I marvel that people live life without ever thinking that everything is a gigantic nonsense and I wonder what for?!!!

I used to have depression. In fact, I had it for most of my life until I couldn't stand it anymore. I had the time/ space to work on it for a few months (I was unemployed at the time). And I beat it. This is what I did to beat it. Everyday I did the following and ONLY the following > keep a journal, go to yoga class, walk in a park to be in nature, meditate, eat only real food (no junk food) and read some spiritual books I found inspiring. I stayed away from socializing - no night life. My journal consisted of me observing my mind and what it does/ thinks. To be clear, I did not feel any improvement until the third month when after all that I could see clearly a pattern of thinking that, frankly, was a load of negative crap that was fed to me since I was a child. To be clear, I felt much worse before it left; I thought I was dying. I was sure I had some deadly disease and went to doctors all of whom found nothing wrong with me. I came to a moment in which I saw clearly that the depressing thought patterns were not mine but were living in me that I took to be 'me'. In that moment I did not know how to get 'them' to leave my head and in total surrender and with a genuine heart I asked God to take it. I'm not really that religious but when you're in a fox hole and desperate... And it all unraveled like a falling deck of cards. Initially, it felt strange to have that thing gone but now it's my new normal. If anyone decides to follow this route, stay determined and keep going. I hope this helps someone out there.
