Am I suffering from something I don't know?

[SAMI_DABBAB]

I have no motivation whatsoever for anything, I'm a university student in a foreign country and all I have been doing recently is bare minimum, I don't take good care of myself and I'm not putting effort into other stuff such as learning the language, getting good grades or searching career opportunities, the only things I do well are short term things that are 1-3 days long max, otherwise I have zero consistency and I fear absolutely nothing... and I also don't respond to incentives anymore

Let's all assume it's not depression, that's a very generic diagnosis, apologies to the person I disrespected, I wrote you an apology text only to find out you replied then blocked me...

[Mary_M]

Look can't diagnose you over a message really but as a medical professional I'll just give you a couple bits of info to do with what you will;
Sometimes people who are depressed don't even know they're depressed, they just experience fatigue, lack of enthusiasm for life, low motivation, reduced sex drive, reduced presonal hygiene etc and pass it off as them being lazy.
You may simply not be getting as much vitamin D as you are used to (you mentioned that you are an exchange student, if the country you are now in is darker than your home country). This can lead to depression, low motivation etc. It would be worth taking a good supplement.

Other than that, maybe you're lacking purpose and drive. We need a goal in life to drive us, otherwise it's very easy to just let your life dissintegrate. A lot of people are experiencing that these days so don't be hard on yourself.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

I'm not just "lacking" Vitamin D, I don't see the sun 🤭

[Mary_M]

Definitely get some vitamin D in that case!!!

If this started happening recently I have to wonder if it's COVID related. Either COVID itself, or from the vaccines. It sounds like chronic fatigue syndrome which can affect your whole body and your life.
I was sick for a long time, then I received the 2nd COVID vaccine and now I can't hardly do anything. It made my condition a lot worse. Just a thought.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

This is the type of replies I was hoping to get.
Same timeline here, I had so much fire and energy before the Pandemic but it's no more...

[Elite121]

I think vaccines are made nd disbursed to improve immunity. There must be hundreds of thousands genetic testing have happened before authorised.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

Not exactly blaming the vaccine, probably the events and the Pandemic lifestyle, the vaccine should only be judged as a vaccine and it does its job

[Elite121]

The word "stay home stay safe" ultimately made every one lazy. Our generation has experienced a kind of apocalypse since decades. So it must be usual behaviour as im going through the same nd im little lazy too..

[SAMI_DABBAB]

More of what I was hoping to read, there must be a study on the mental state of people post lockdown (although there are more events including racial injustice and all of what happened these past 2 years)

[Elite121]

Let's see first how lazy we became after omicron 😂

[SAMI_DABBAB]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Elite121]

In my opinion, in 20s every single person became super sleepy nd lazy. And today there are so much assets available to boost that shit like socializing, movies, porn. So we have to resist it for better future

[SAMI_DABBAB]

This is what it looks like... a matter of Nike (just do it)

[sage2021]

@SAMI_DABBAB thanks for the MHO 🙂. I hope all of us feel better in the future. Just curious, have you researched the 5G in our airwaves making people sick? I read about it here on GAG, but I don't know where I saw it. You can check That out on the internet. The best to you. 🌹

Depression presents differently in different people and its not always about self hate, but certainly includes lack of motivation. Considering you are away from home in a foreign country it is unsurprising, I'd suggest its only mild depression and I'd recommend seeing a counselor. The college you are studying at should have one.

[WindAtMyBack]

It's pretty normal for people to go through cycles. This is what we used to call being in a funk. You'll probably snap out of it. Maybe make some kind of change in your life to stir things up. Maybe do something crazy and completely not-you.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

Very much appreciated 🙏🏻

Meaning is a jumper you've to knit yourself..

As a biological organism if most of your basic needs are met, you aren't really designed for so much more of course it doesn't limit but evolution hasn't come this far.. you just have to figure out what's worthwhile to spend your time on, time is a limited resource at least for now.

[Jamie05rhs]

Let me guess: you see the Western women acting like whores and it's upsetting and your heart is grieved on behalf of God and humanity.
I'm with you, brother.
That is why you have lost your inspiration to try.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

This made me laugh 🤭 thank you

[Jamie05rhs]

You're welcome. :)

[Sonorous]

We're all suffering from something we don't know. It's our destiny to suffer.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

I spilled my drink 🤭

[Máiiréad]

Ah, yes. I know this very well. I like to call this suffering ✨Depression✨. I've been experiencing depression for many years now. There are highs and lows, but eventually it'll be okay. Hang in there.

[umidkwhattoput]

I don't want to make any assumptions.. but I don't think you are suffer from anything? I need more details

[SAMI_DABBAB]

So a little about me, I don't hate my life, nor do I hate myself, I'm actually very satisfied, what concerns me is my unwillingness to put effort into anything, it's always deadline day and Plan C for me, it's starting to feel like a syndrome of just not moving a muscle

[YOURGOODGOODBABY]

(this is my new account lmao 😂)

[888theGreat]

Covid blues. People are just suffering from constant beware or you will die news 24/7 ; I feel about the same. Like who gives a crappy pappy

[jasco]

You need to find a goal, not a unreachable one, but you need something within range.

[adidas0169]

Sounds like most of your generation. I said most not all

[ellEyeInnKay]

... deppression? That doesn't help much about the source though...

Mmm.

[Waldoe]

Depression is a real illness, see a medical professional

[jshm2]

Yep. you're suffering from lazy bastard syndrome.

[exitseven]

sounds like you have depression.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

Any other possibilities or you're sure it's this one?

[exitseven]

either that or you are in love.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

I'll consider depression because I've had a lot of people suggest it

[exitseven]

it is not a permanent condition. Covid has screwed up a lot of people. Living with isolation and the government regulations and having no idea when it will be over has really made life difficult and has caused lots of people to become depressed.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

So in conclusion I got depressed because of the lockdown lifestyle?

[exitseven]

yes, it is possible. If covid never happened you would be living your life, looking forward to the future, chasing girls, having fun with your friends.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

It didn't ruin that much to be fair but yeah, I was doing much more and I was looking forward to the coming days unlike now

[Staximus]

Sounds like depression

[Wowboi]

You sound like your suffering for depression

[SAMI_DABBAB]

My only issues are related to motivation, not morale of confidence

[Wowboi]

Ah so you know what you're suffering from. Solved

[SAMI_DABBAB]

This is like telling someone who has back pain that it's all they need to know without seeing if it's a bigger issue, if you're really trying to help you gotta be less stupid with your replies

[Wowboi]

That is your opinion. You asked i made a suggestion based on what you described and you come back with some idiotic top up. If you're willing to take suggestion you gotta be less idiotic with your ego

[Hangry06]

Depression?

[SAMI_DABBAB]

I honestly don't think so, like it's just motivation, I'm very content with myself and my life

[emperor90]
