I can't remember what it feels like to be happy.
Hey....
So i've been struggling for some time now...
I can't remember what it feel like to be happy. Like, I don't really have anything to be sad about, and I don't think i'm a particuarly sad person... But, I don't find joy in anything. Nothing interests me. I have become such a boring person.
I get home every night, sit on my bed, and waste 5 hours doing nothing. I'm not interested in sport, i can't play an instrument. I have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
That is reflected in my lack of friends. I have people to talk to at school, but I don't consider them friends, rather colleagues. I don't have an interest in making friends.
I have GCSEs in like two weeks, but I have no motivation whatsoever. I am completely relaxed about everything. Kinda just go with the flow of life. I've always gotten good grades, 7-9s... So expectations are high, but this time, I don't think I can perform.
So how do you find motivation to do things? How do you find things that make you happy? My lack of interest in every aspect of life is concerning, but I'm only writing this because i'm bored, I don't even have the motivation to get motivated, if ya get what I mean...
So yeah... Is this classed as depression or something or am I just a really, really boring person? And what can I do about it?
Ty in advance...

hi I think it could be depression. similarly to you at the moment I feel I have nothing to look forward to or make me happy. I remember I was happy 5 months ago, but I don't remember what it feels like. I have dp and im confused about aboy I just want to go back in time 5 months tbh. the problem is,similar to you that for the next 2 months I don't really have the opportunity to do fun stuff nor socialise much. as your exams are soon I would suggest may be talking to a counsellor or doctor who may help in case it is depression. also as you have a lot of pressure on yourself and it is really stressful time that's probably why you feel as you do. ik it's really hard but unfortunately you'll have to try and push through. make sure you don't revise 24/7 and try to spend time relaxing or doing stuff you used to find fun. ik it's really hard to be motivated but set yourself reasonable tasks everyday and reward yourself when you achieve them. remember this feeling won't last, stay strong and try and push through
