I used to think I was just lazy but after reading about depression the majority of the symptoms describe me perfectly, I really wish I had a will to live and be motivated to do things, problem is I lack self motivation, I only live for my boyfriend and family, majority of days I hope I just die in my sleep…

I get it. Believe me I do. I used to only live for an ex boyfriend and made him my whole world. It wasn’t very healthy for me. Everyone needs their own hobbies, I just don’t care about anything. If your boyfriend keeps you going, that’s great. Just also try to find something else outside of him like friends or something so you have another outlet.
Even though I’m depressed too, I decided to make myself work out today. Gonna drink some coffee and get started. I always feel better after doing it. It’s great for your mood, but I know it’s not always easy to force yourself to workout.
I hope you feel better. Take care of yourself.
Thanks for your support, one of my major issues these days is distracting myself like I barely have interest in my hobbies anymore and thus I think about the negative things a lot more plus am off work so I have more free time in the day
I’m in the same position. I think about trying to find a hobby, but nothing interesting comes to mind. I love going to rock concerts and comedy shows, but no one is coming I’m interested in seeing.
I worked out earlier and felt a lot better after. During is torture, but worth it in the end. I also know I need it to build self esteem. It’s easy to feel like a big nothing when you have too much time on your hands and no discipline. So forcing myself up and working out kinda gives me a purpose. It’s not always easy. Give it a try. Start out slow. I use work out DVDs in my living room with weights and have a treadmill, but I HATE running. I think I’d rather be stoned to death.
