See a therapist.

historically speaking tftv is an awful place to search for answers when it comes to this sort of thing.

This.

I have experienced the same thing as you, shoot me a message at any time friend

I don't know why i haven't thought of this, what type of therapist though?

Cognitive therapy is the therapy for depression/anxiety. I hope that helps.

Sweet, thank you so much. I really appreciate it bro.

i know you aren't feeling motivated but don't neglect adjusting your meds if you've gotten them to work in the past

I forgot to mention, i tried to in the past but my heath care makes it a pain to schedule stuff like that.

Ey man Id recommend the same as the others along with some fresh air. You should go out and see nature and just relax.

Hope you feel better soon.

Try something aerobic like running. It will help you relax as well as give you dopamine. It should improve sleep too. Try running 10 or 15 minutes a day to start out and do it at an easy pace. Perhaps with a friend.

Or you could walk your doggo. Doggos can be the best therapy

Avoid repressive coping techniques like doing drugs, alcohol, or eating sugary and fatty foods. After the initial rush, that stuff will make you feel pretty low.

Also, hug your family members and friends. Hugs are essential to health.

I sincerely hope you feel better!

TFTV isn't really a great place for this kind of discussion, but for what it's worth...

I would agree with what DoctorSlappy said, exercise is a great way of relieving stress and making you feel much better, I know that it certainly worked for me in the past with coping under the pressure of exams and other hardships. If you do consider using exercise as a coping mechanism then I would advise that you do what is most comfortable for you in sensible routines.

I know that some people find therapy to be somewhat humiliating or degrading, so if this is the case then it would always be worth trying to talk to close friends or family, or people who have gone through it already and can help you out.

Try to stay away from unhealthy coping mechanisms such as alcohol or drugs, it goes without saying that the people who have used these have ended up worse than before.

And keep optimistic man, if your exams are over then you have plenty of time to spend doing what you like :)

Best of luck, I hope that I helped.

fam the reason he doesnt go and exercise is because he is depressed and has no motivation. see a therapist soon, ur a good soldier and i hope you feel better soon

The reason that I recommended exercise is that I know from personal experience that getting into better shape and becoming physically stronger and "better" can be a great method of motivation.

Visit a therapist as others say, once you get into that then i'd recommend for you to do activities with friends, start going to gym/working out at home, and be with family when applicable. Getting others in your life will benefit from what I've experienced.

As well as what all of the others are saying, and a diet change as a possible option. I know that sounds a bit strange, but eating foods that are nutritious and energetic rather than the typical American diet of gluten, meats, and sugars is greatly beneficial to not only your physical health but your mental health as well. Not that I am aware of your diet, but just a suggestion. Good luck.

Get back into skateboarding or some other hobby to occupy your time, lifting is always good

Exercise is really good for your mental health

Get 8h + sleep if possible.

You might know a few of these already based on what others have said, but I think the things listed on this website can really help: https://helloendless.com/10-ways-to-increase-dopamine-to-boost-your-productivity/

See a therapist; if your therapist thinks you need to see a psychiatrist then do so.

Lack of motivation was one of my biggest problems before I was diagnosed. I had terrible panic attacks and didn't want to do anything but stay in my room alone out of fear of the world outside. I didn't want to go on meds either, but trust me when I say that they are a literal lifesaver. Though, like I said before, a therapist is generally able to determine whether or not you're going through a slump that can be talked through or need real medical help.

What you've described show similar symptoms of what I was originally diagnosed with ("Dysthymia," aka a milder depression). It sounds like you are capable of being in a good mood, but the depression swings back at any moment. The total lack of motivation is also a very common symptom, and the same with the lack of incentive to even get out of bed. I highly suggest that you make an appointment with a cognitive therapist and see if you need redirected to a psychiatrist.

Another big thing: don't lie to the therapist. I know from experience it's hard to talk about shit like this to anybody, but it's really important you let them know what's truly going on so they can help you. That's what they're there for. By not telling the full truth, you're only hurting yourself.

Stay safe out there, man. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you're able to overcome this in one way or another.

(I also realize this is a bit late, but hopefully this helps anyone who is going through the same shit)
