Why Can’t I Get Excited About ANYTHING? Please Help Me.?
Question by alk3love: Why can’t I get excited about ANYTHING? Please help me.?
Before I tell you more,
please do not tell me the following:
“Go to a doctor or therapist”
I have already been to both.
More than one of each. They do not help me.
“Find God!”
No. I do not believe in God and have not for many years.
The happiest year of my life was the year where I really sat down and thought about my denial in God.
I’m sure that is not why I was so happy, but just to point it out.
Anyway.
I’m a 16 year old female and for the past year or so of my life, I feel like I’ve been very depressed.
I have nothing at all to be depressed about besides the fact that I always feel depressed.
I do not do drugs, drink, or smoke.
I have many friends, and good family, I’m in good health, etc.
A little more than a year ago I noticed that I was losing emotion for everything.
For my favorite band, for music in general, for fun things, for movies, for books, all of which are things I absolutely love and things that have totally kept me happy and going since day 1.
Before then, almost every time I was around/doing one of those things, my heart literally fluttered with utter joy.
Ever since my “depression”, I sleep but two hours a night–if that.
I don’t want to move around, and I hardly even want to listen to music.
(Which is a big deal because music is a HUGE part of my life and something that everyone believes I will be doing for the rest of my life)
I don’t care about school, or about me.
I have found that I have taken a big appreciation for the people around me, though.
I have lost literally all of my once bountiful amount of creativity.
I used to excel at almost every art form you could think of.
Mainly drawing/painting.
I have lost my ability to listen, my desire for love, and my desire for success.
I know doctors are the simplest and usually most effective way of treating things like this, but they simply have not worked for me.
I am on the verge of just totally giving up trying.
I’m exhausted from trying to search within in me to find where my old self is, and my “new self” has nothing at all to offer but to sit around and mope about almost nothing.
Has anybody (especially around my age) ever had this feeling before for so long?
Does it go away? Or is there a way to get rid of it just for a little while.
I’d give anything in the world to have the feeling of excitement even one more time in my life.
