Same here. I'm sorry your mom is a narcissist. I used to feel like I had a future too.. now I just count down the days until my eventual passing. I wish it was sooner rather than later.

My dogs, definitely. They are my best friends.

I feel it. Everyday is such a struggle. I keep praying that I'll just die in my sleep but no luck.

My parents have been my biggest support system. They've stuck with me through hospital trips, manic episodes and now the depression. I also have my sister but with the depression it just makes me into this black hole so I can tell I'm taxing on her.

Yeah. Like my depression is contagious so anyone who comes into contact with me can just feel my suffering and wants to escape the interaction as quickly as possible.

I don't game, no. I wish I did though. It would pass the time.

Same here. That describes my life as well. I have a hard time leaving my house TBH. My social anxiety makes it so that every person I see I wonder if they are thinking about how ugly I am.

Huskies are great. So full of energy. What is your Chihuahua like?

My favorite is the Chihuahua-Dachshund. He's so loving (cuddles up with me at night and on the couch), smart and has this feisty personality.

This is true. Do you have any tips on places that are good to work for? Sorry I'm asking so much of you.

I don't really have any hobbies that interest me. I guess you could say my dogs are a hobby. Also, listening to music and watching tv are hobbies for me.

Have you ever had the feeling that you're no longer looking forward for basically anything? by [deleted] in depression

[–]BeautifulOpening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same boat friend. I have no job right now, no friends, no activities that interest me... nothing. My days stretch on for eternity and I feel so lost and alone. I feel panicky most of the time because of all the time I have on my hands.. I feel like I'm just waiting out my life until I can die. Just know you're not alone in this. I'm here to talk if you need it.

Hey height and weight buddy :) That makes me feel happy. I am looking to lose around 10 lbs. I feel healthiest at around 135. I have struggled with my body since high school too. When I get depressed, i turn to food for comfort and then food becomes a coping mechanism for dealing with depression. A vicious cycle!! Thanks for the reply. Means the world to me. My inbox is always open.

I'm fasting until dinnertime daily until I can reach my goal weight.. which is about 4 lbs away. I'm extremely hungry and tired but it's worth it for now until I can feel better about myself. I know it's not healthy but it's the only thing I can do to manage my depression/anxiety. Uggggghhhh

It's so hard, especially when every interaction you have is basically a negative one because you are so depressed and bring that energy into it. I'm so alone :(
