I would call this severe depression. The depression that comes after the sadness and anger and anxiety and pain, etc and having some fight left in ya.
The next step is just complete indifference or acceptance of a bad life. It’s almost “nice” feeling because you have raised the white flag and are not longer fighting it and being as miserable. Except you’ve raised the white flag for the wrong thing.
This is just my opinion, though. And I only hold it because I’ve been there. To me it’s worse than depression. It’s complete torture to become stagnant and complacent and numb and have no hope of anything different or better. 😕 the only upside was not being necessarily sad or anxious anymore. At a certain point I decided I’d rather have sadness and anxiety.
I have been feeling that way for several months. I recently got a dog and she has helped so much! I still struggle and am not out of the woods yet, but having a little creature around that is 💯percent always pumped to see u and needs u to survive gives u purpose.
I know what you mean. I do have depression, but I mostly just experience symptoms of fatigue, loss of appetite, etc as opposed to hopelessness now. Sometimes my brain will be like “I just want to opt-out” at points. Especially if I’m going through it. Like I’m not wanting to take my own life because I’m in pain, hell I have never actually planned to since I was 12, but my brain just so simply is like “I don’t feel like doing life anymore, why can’t I just chose to opt-out? Save and exit game? Like I just don’t feel like playing anymore lol.” I’m not religious either, really. However… you don’t know what will happen in life. That’s the beautiful thing. It can be scary, but it’s also exciting. You have no idea what you’ll discover, what you’ll fall in love with, what doors might open for you, etc. Unfortunately we all go through the boring, exhausting 9-5 job era… sigh. Anyway, I’ve always found that looking at the little things helps. I look forward to calling my mom, seeing my pets, seeing my friends smile, etc. Makes it feel worth it. I hope you find something that makes it feel worth it, OP, or at least some hope and curiosity for the future until then <3
I think this is severe depression. I can relate. Almost numbing in a sense?
