depression? getting old? hormone issue?

[IloveTHIS]

for the last 6+ weeks I have absolutely no desire to do...anything. I go to work, come home, and just doom scroll youtube while laying in bed. I have no desire to do anything other than that. it doesnt seem to be a physical energy issue as I have no problem willingly working overtime. its just mentally things that should be fun/enjoyable to me, in theory, I cant pull the trigger and actually do them. the easiest shit too, like playing a game for a few hours or watching a movie I cant do.

nothing more than turning off my brain, finding any video just entertaining enough to watch while napping and waiting until I fall asleep. hour after hour, day after day. my weekends are literally 18 hours of this Saturday and Sunday

I think we're being conditioned this way by technology. It is absolutely concerning.

I agree

Neo-luddism is the only way

 

[Berserker13]

That means it's working

It's definitely something we should be talking about. I was actually just discussing this with another poster, in the sense that our technological growth has far outpaced our biological/evolutionary growth, and the problems that arise because of it.

That's depression, bro.
Get help, it is very hard to crawl out of that deephole on one's own.

You're describing mild depression... feeling better usually happens AFTER you start doing the things you enjoy. Try making a schedule for yourself and stick to it.

Waiting around to be "in the mood" to do something enjoyable is a trap, depression prevents that from happening.

 

[Stoic1]

Too much sherdoggin, bro.

Put the phone down. Pick up a book.

 

[evergreenrider]

All the above. Handing out awards?

Probably depression. Get out of the house and get more involved with people. I was on a funk then decided to start doing more activities... Tennis, pickball, hiking, pilates (I got back pain, fuck you guys) and volunteering have been my life these past few months.

Have you talk to your family doctor at the least?

Did you actually refer to playing video games and watching movies as “activities”?

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Get off the internet (aside from necessities like work and banking) for a few months. Find a hobby, work out more. Join a club.

When it comes to depression anything you enjoy doing is an activity and requires a surprising amount of effort.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Anyway the best advice I would give is just to set a target of doing something you seem to be somewhat productive for five minutes and then see if you carry on doing it once the five minutes are up. It's usually starting things that a
Is the issue but if you set a timer and mentally allow yourself to fuck it off after five minutes if that's what you really want to do then you can but you usually won't.

not recently but I do have a psychiatrist and been on every SSRI/DRI under the sun, though Ive been off them for a good while now. maybe I should schedule to get put back something but I thought I was doing decent getting off them
