Anybody else not do anything?

[Spiritual survivor]

How did I become like this? I never do anything or go do something fun like events. It's really sad. I feel like I'm locked up but I'm able to go places if I want to, but just don't feel motivated.

 

[Shepherd's boy]

Same here. I can't do anything, but laying on my bed. Even if I force myself to study or something, I am always distracted by minor things and I always get tired quickly and go to sleep. That sucks.

 

[Wilting Daisy]

I don't feel like I'm allowed to have fun until I make myself proud. It's a toxic cycle that leaves me feeling too ashamed or embarrassed while out and about. Many times I started crying on the floor, half dressed and ready to go, because that voice saying "And what have you done lately to deserve this?" pops in for an unwarranted visit.

I have experienced this before wow! Glad u brought it up. It's really brutal. I walk around ashamed as well. I've really failed bad in my life and it's not repairable.

 

[FuneralCry]

I personally have absolutely no interest in living. I don't really do much apart from try to distract myself until I fall asleep. I never could see existing as being enjoyable at all, it's just endless suffering. To permanently cease to exist would be the best possible thing.

 

[Szinuus]

I do nothing but speed my days on stupid phone games just to wait until the day pass on. Though, I enjoy playing with pets, family vacations and trips. Im like this since my chronic nerve pain kicked in and ruined my life before it even begin.

 

[PleaseTakeMeAway]

I just sit in my house and play video games. That's it. Every day. Sigh.

It's some people's dream actually.
But I am old enough to know that this is not enjoyable for you.

 

[Fall.and.Shatter]

I just can't sleep. I drown myself in music, lying in bed untill 5 in the morning. It's not like living, when you can't really feel anything but pain and fury and sadness.

 

[sunsetting]

Yes, I'm hanging on to a single hobby I didn't lose interest, games, and that's it. Gotta hold on to it until I lose interest once again, it's like the only thing that makes me feel alive nowadays.

Lost the motivation to do anything else, whenever I think about trying something new it just comes to me that it's all pointless anyways.

 

[Passersby]

I don't do shit anymore. I do get bored but a lot of the time now I'm actually ok with it. I exist now in an anhedonic trance.

 

[No Entertainment]

Same, I also tired of everything

 

[gh0stt0wn]

Shrink all of existence down to your immediate surroundings - i believe its called solipsism, and pretend everyone is an NPC. Problem solved.

 

[theboy]

The same thing happens to me as you. I feel like I'm a living zombie

 

[nerve]

This combo of "nothing is interesting" mixed with "everything is scary" and "im so fucking tired" is literally killing me.

 

[Anonymus]

I don't do anything either, except listen to music and spend a lot of time on SaSu or searching the web. I also like to watch movies or series, but it's hard for me to watch them in one go and I do it over several days.

Maybe I'm a little selfish saying this, but I find it comforting that through our suffering we can understand each other. It is very difficult to be able to explain these things in front of incredulous looks to what they are hearing coming out of my lips.

//

Jo tampoc faig rés, excepte escoltar música i passar-me força estona a SaSu o fent cerca per la xarxa. També m'agrada veure películes o séries, pero em costa veure-les d'una tirada i ho faig en diversos dies.

Potser sóc una mica egoísta dient això, però trobo recomfortant que gràcies al nostre patiment ens poguem comprendre els uns als altres. Es molt difícil poder explicar aquestes coses davant mirades incrédules al que están escoltant sortir dels meus llavis.

 

[Klophy]

Just wait all day until it's time to sleep and then struggle to sleep, wishing I could just end it all.

 

[Grav]

I've gone through long bouts of this but for about the last 4 months I've been pushing myself to get stuff done. House chores but also things I used to really like to do, and still do. Even if I'm no up for it I have to mentally kick myself to get moving otherwise I get mired in doing nothing all day and then getting worse because I'm doing nothing all day. Not sure how long I can keep it up but I have to keep pushing.

If you're invited but refuse or back out last minute, please try to force yourself to go. It may take a few times, but getting out of the house and interacting with people is very healing. Isolation is very unnatural. I am even thankful at times for my shitty retail job because it forces me to interact with people.

When I was unemployed, I tried to stay current with a support group in my area. It was very helpful to hear from others with similar problems. Even if we didn't really come up with any solutions together, I definitely felt way less alien.

 

[eve2004]

OP: YES YES YES. Cannot do anything. Have not gone out in days... Getting coffee from a coffee shop used to get me out the door, now I have started making coffee at home and it even tastes better (haha) so even coffee is not enough anymore. Not to mention inflation of the cost of everything. I hate going out and seeing the inflated prices and walking home empty handed.

Imagine if we had a non-profit SS members-run coffee shop hangout that we could just snap our fingers and go to and physically be together in person, wherever we are from? Even if we just sat there ignoring each other I think it would be really soothing and relaxing.

 

[BandAddict]

Yeah...slowly reverting back to a bed fiend.

 

[Ceterum]

I just sit in my house and play video games. That's it. Every day. Sigh.

good video games can do a lot. unfortulately most are crap :D

I remember when I was playing video games the day would go by so fast. Maybe I should get back into it. Beats numbing yourself through other self-destructive means...

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Used to play a card game but gradually lost interest. Now i can barely listen to my favorite genre of music without feeling triggered by dysphoria. Now, i just eat, sleep and waste away.

 

[Throwawaysoul]

Besides work which is becoming more and more difficult to stand. After work, I do nothing, I sit in my lazy boy and watch the same 3 30 min episodes of one show on loop. And look at my phone occasionally hoping for a random message from anyone. It feels like the same day has been repeating for months. I fucking hate it.

 

[jodes2]

Every day is an exercise in taming absolute boredom from doing nothing but counting down the hours until I can sleep again

 

[OpheliasFlowers]

This combo of "nothing is interesting" mixed with "everything is scary" and "im so fucking tired" is literally killing me.

This describes me and my life. Exactly. I hardly ever even leave to go to doctor appointments anymore because it's always a pointless exercise in the end...so, why bother. I watch movies/shows, sleep (poorly), and waste time with apps on my phone. Oh and sometimes I'll go on Facebook but that holds almost 0 interest for me now so it's not often anymore I log in. I don't get necessary chores done, I don't do anything, really. It's been like this so long. I know it's not fixable at this point.

I do that, too, watch the same show(s) repeatedly on a loop. It's a soothing to my anxiety because I know what to expect and I don't need to exert energy on paying attention to what's going on. Sometimes I'll get into this same pattern with one or two specific movies and I'll watch only those, over and over and over again.

Drinking tea and coffee, cooking and eating provides some kind of punctuation to my otherwise unstructured days. I mostly feel fortunate not to be forced to do stuff every day even tho it regularly bites back with excruciating boredom monotony and occasional loneliness. I am lucky to have a nice house to isolate in at least. But yeah, I pretty much do fuck all.

 

[BitterlyAlive_]

It's getting very difficult to do things. I try to do things and I just get bored, tired, or overwhelmed (anxiety, brain rot, idk). It seems like it's getting rare that I can do something and be engaged.

 

[deformedface]

I dont want to leave the house unless I have to, Going outside makes me anxious these days
