I think I am severely depressed?

[Anonymous]

I am in my mid 30s and I don't feel like doing anything. Last few weeks, my favorite activity is just sleeping.

I constantly feel I am not living my life. I feel if I meet the right people, it might heal me. Friends who get me. But I have no energy to make the effort.

Can anyone relate, has anyone climbed out of this hole?

You should join group activities. Someone who likes the same interests as you do. There are so many people in the world but most importantly what are you bringing to the table, are you approachable? Are you taking care of yourself and your health to get more energy and to get out more

I can bring plenty good. There are people I talk to, friends i do have... but none of them are people who truly get me.

On top of that, I did go through a traumatic experience once and its difficult to find someone to empathize with that. I feel most people are shallow. Somehow I am trapped with this bunch. My life wasn't always like this. I lived a healthy life and won through several challenges to be better. However, lately it has all gone to shit.

So get some therapy. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, get sunshine.

Sounds more like lazy. Just set goals. Worked for me!
