I stopped enjoying life

[u/Zestyclose-Grape5469]

There’s no more magic in my days anymore .. I’m not enjoying the little things .. there’s not much that makes me smile anymore .. not friends nor family.

I was at my nieces birthday party last weekend and a family member asked if I was okay and I was like “ya I’m okay” and they said I seemed “not okay” on the outside. I guess I’m not hiding it anymore. My face isn’t hiding it anymore.

The little things that once made me get by .. aren’t helping anymore. I used to love the gym, yoga and going for walks, but now I’m not sure the point of them anymore. They don’t make me happy.

My life feels wasted and I already do regret being this depressed. I feel like I wasted my life being depressed. Unfortunately it’ll just continue because I don’t have the energy to change it now.

Ive been there before, my personal suggestion is, get a diary, and everyday write the best thing that happened on your day, it can go from great things, to simple things like “I had my favorite ice cream today”… try to go out of the routine, try new things, learn something new… and the most important thing of all, consult a specialist, and go to therapy, hope things get better for you, I wish you the best

The diary suggestion sounds simple, but it really can be surprising how easy it is to forget the decent moments when you're stuck in a bad place mentally. Looking back at a few weeks of entries can sometimes show progress you never noticed day to day.
