I don't have the energy to do anything anymore, how can I change this?

Question

About a year and a half ago my last friend stop calling me and asking me if I want to go out and do anything. I got sick of going to bars and clubs because I don't drink and I really didn't want to be around people that did. I got sick of church when they asked me for a W2 form. There isn't a religious institution around here for miles that isn't corrupted. Since all my friends started dating and getting married there is no one left to hang out with. Around a year ago I tried going to these different groups that did different things I was into. I didn't meet anyone I wanted to hang out with. Now I've kind of become sick of the rest of humanity. Since my last family member died I find that people just seem to stand in the way. I've gained a lot of weight over the past few months and now I've lost the energy to do anything. I live under my work because I can't drive anymore. I haven't gone outside in 6 weeks. I just wake up on Monday, walk up stairs and to back to work. I get off work after 9 strait hours of working come home eat the food I got from the store next door and go back to bed 3 hours later. On the weekend I just sit in here and do nothing. I find it so hard to stand up. I feel tired all the time now. I've tried to force myself to go outside but never really make it past the door anymore. Since I was mugged a few months back I don't like going out there anymore. I'm just lucky that I live in the same strip mall as my business where I work. I dunno where my power comes from and I can walk up stairs to the restaurant to get something to eat everyday. I've missed 3 days of work in the past 5 years. I can't go anywhere if I could take some time off. I feel like I'm just killing time until I die.

Answer 2

You are in a depression because of the events that have happened to you.

Speak to your doctor and he can put you in touch with people who can help you or have been through a similar situation to you.

Tommorrow is always a better day and God is with you so you are never alone.

Positive thoughts attract more positive thoughts - buy the book 'The Secret' and also a book on the teachings of Jesus - together they form a wonderful pick me up and will get you out of those negative thoughts that are attrcating even more negativity to you.

But see your doctor tommorrow - good night , God Bless - you will smile with your face in the sun - if you take that holiday - go with a singles group and find others like you ;)

Wow, that's terrible. Honestly, it sounds like you are having an anxiety/depression problem. I've been there, and it really is h**l. You should talk to your doctor about this. You could try therapy or medication or both. I've done both and they have helped me tremendously. Also, once you start feeling better and being more active the weight you have gained will most likely start coming off as well. Once you get in a better state of mind it will be easier to meet people and you will probably start wanting to go out and do things again. Don't feel bad about not enjoying the bar and club scene, it's really pretty lame anyhow. And it sounds like you have had very bad luck with your churches, that's terrible. Good luck with everything.
