I don't know what to do. I need help.
Hi guys,
For some background, I'm a pretty successful student, considered goodlooking, have basically everything going for me.
I feel pleasure from literally nothing. I've isolated myself from everyone willingly because socializing is a chore. I don't have any interest in any careers or academic pursuits. I'm so, so tired everyday. My favorite part of anyday is sleeping.
I've been struggling with depression for a big part of my life, but it's getting more and more crippling. I won't be able to keep things up if it continues this way. I feel like I need to do something dramatic, start fresh, but I don't see any opportunities to do that. I don't wanna let my family down.
I'm just at the point where it's been this way for so long that I'm starting to completely give up hope. Everytime depression starts to take over me I fight back hard and succeed, at least in my superficial functional life. But it's only a matter of time that I can distract myself for so long before it comes back even stronger. This time, I randomly quit my unpaid internship because I just didn't wanna deal with it anymore.
I don't want it to go on like this. This is not how to live life. Please, what are some things I can try out?
