Really Really depressed, no motivation.?

Question

I'm so so so very depressed. And I have no motivation. As I said. I don't know why I have no motivation.

I want to do things, I want to do all this stuff. I have these HUGE dreams.. But nothing to make me go for it. I want to SO bad but the get up and do just isn't there.

I've tried therapy but I have to have it right when the depression hit or I can't speak what's on my mind. And there isn't a therapist in the world (in my budget) that will drop everything to baby me when it hit. I've tried citalopram, Seraquel (for my ocd), and some other **** I can't remeber the names.

I don't know how to handle this and it's depressing me more. I feel helpless.

What should I do?

Answer 1

hi dear, i have been in ur place many times, but only one thing cheers me up. I am a sunni muslim and i believe in one god only and he is eternal, so when i pray 5 times a day, or whenever i pray, i ask for forgiveness and pleasure in life, and if i follow religion and be good then god has himself said by sending message to prophet, tht god loves a beliver 70 times more than of a mother's love to her son or daughter.

it may seem nonsense to you now but if u go to a mosque and say u want to become sunni muslim and convert and jus be faithful trust me u will never get depressed if u follow the right path

GLAD TO HELp

Well... I've been going through severe depression since I was about 15. Its became a disorder for me. I have to be on medeication all the time and probably the rest of my life. To keep myself feeling a bit better. Take my advice. SEE A DOCTOR. It will get worse. And you can develop bipolar disoder. See a doctor, they'll give u some anti-depressants. They will take about 6 weeks to kick in, but its worth the wait. You'll feel much better. Good luck.  

Answer 3

Your using it as an excuse, you'll find if you get up and do things you'll feel better.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Talk to your mum and dad. Listen to them. They have usually gone through this stage too. Just feel relaxed. If you have no motivation to reach these goals don't try. More will come to you and they will be inspirational and you will absolutely want to achieve them. But for now just don't stress.

Answer 7

Start a diary to be available to be able to look back to see what is setting your depressive moods. Then reflect these to your therapist. Also with written documentation with you it will show your therapist your commitment to your well being.

Answer 8

Hon, first and foremost be happy to be alive... depression is very serious and it's very common.  Everytime you feel like this think about all the good things in your life.  Think about every good memory and think about the things that make you happy.  Don't dwell on the negative stuff... and if you can try to talk about your feelings with someone you trust.  Hope this helps  

Answer 9

first off - don't put yourself down!  think positive!  a good start would be to change your avatar to a happy smiling one, instead of a sad crying one!  it's the little things that will help you lean toward not being depressed anymore.  you have to take baby steps you can't do it all at once, remember that.  you say you have huge dreams?  go for it!  if your dreaming about it then what is stopping you from doing what your heart desires?  think of how happy you would be if you achieved those dreams that should motivate you.  don't you want that lifestyle? :)  i know it's hard to speak what's on your mind, especially to a complete stranger whom you don't know, so therapy is hard.  just try and start fresh.  wake up to a new day and just try to think positive!  i know it's hard but it will be so rewarding in the end for you if you do.  i have mild OCD aas well and i just deal with it.  it's not really harming me or anything at this point.  but if yours is severe then you should try and break your 'obsessions' to doing things a certian way.  try new things, meet new people and once again think positive!  only you can change who you want to be, no one else.  so it's up to you if you want to be happy or not.  don't let things depress you.  i know times can be hard but things will work out, i promise you.  you're going to continue to feel helpless if you don't get out there and help yourself.  you won't get better if you don't want to get better.  i hope this helps you! :)

Answer 10

Hi, i would suggest a psychiatrist.

It's better if you would seek real good medical help before something really goes haywire which i don't hope to see happening to you.

Depression is curable as i strongly believe.

You need more self esteem!

Answer 11

try getting involved in a local club, find another therapist.  I don't know what else to tell you sorry.  I hope you feel better soon!  Remember there is no set way to live your life, just live it day by day and have no regrets.  You will find your dreams, and if you don't then your dreams will find you.

Hang in there!

Answer 12

i dont really have an answer for what you should do but i DO think that a lot of people feel really bad sometimes and maybe u could get a myspace (if u dont already have one) and try to find some friends on there.   :)       Dont cut or do drugs!!

Answer 13

Go to your family/friends for support and advice. As for the motivation for your dreams, if you can't find a good reason then just do it for yourself. You're worth it.

Answer 14

I’m no doctor but you already took the first step to helping your self. The best step and hardest step is talking about it. You’re not alone for one, so many people out there had or are suffering with depression and to a lot of people it does come in series. It is hard to control depression without help. I talk to your family and friends openly. Depression is also a chemical imbalance in the brain and this is why a doctor might put you on medications. It is always important to try to be positive. Join a support group. On those bad days force yourself to get up do something anything but don’t stay in bed when that all you want to do. Just remember "live strong" ------"live your dream"

natural remedys---something i read.........interesting at the end it the website to read the articles you should read it it has a list of things

Reduce your intake of sweets

Sweets temporarily make you feel good as blood sugar levels soar, but may worsen mood later on when they plummet.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol

Caffeine and alcohol both dampen mood. Alcohol temporarily relaxes us and caffeine boosts energy, but the effects of both are short-lived. Both can worsen mood swings, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is needed to produce the mood-enhancing neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. Although deficiency of vitamin B6 is rare, a borderline deficiency may occur in people taking oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and drugs for tuberculosis.

Magnesium

Most people do not get enough magnesium in their diets. Good sources of magnesium are legumes, nuts, whole grains and green vegetables. Like vitamin B6, magnesium is needed for serotonin production. Stress depletes magnesium.
