Yes, life is boring and stressfull. Life is hard. Life is a pain. We need to think positive. Try to find joy in the small things in everyday life.

Thanks for the feedback.

You might benefit from medication. Talk to your doctor.
And yes there have been years of my life that only small things
made me feel good. My favorite tv shows, sitting on the porch
in Spring, etc. My life was difficult. But I think I had mild depression also.
When I was put on depression pills my mood improved.

I definitely get tired of circumstances...less so life itself these days.

As someone who spent years feeling suicidal, and time in psychiatric facilities, I can definitely say depression can improve.

When life is harder than usual, I think it's ok to sleep when you need to. Take a nap, get that extra rest. You need it to be able to continue to put one foot in front of the other.

I know how you feel, I hate these bad days!

You're tired of the same ole', same ole'. Boring but stressful for sure. I remember going and coming home from work every day thinking is this all there is? Day in and day out. Maybe set a goal, that would give you something to look forward to? Even if it's just going away for one night and staying in a motel.

Thanks for the replies. I do think that life has become very mundane and somewhat joyless. I like the idea of making some type of goal, but I’m not sure what that looks like right now.

This is probably going to sound obnoxious or something but I really don't mean it that way. I think I have been at the point you are describing here for years and years and then just a couple of months ago I got a cancer diagnosis and now I am struggling much more with pain and more financial trouble, worry of losing my life, etc. I'm only saying this to maybe give some perspective. I know what you mean though. What you are describing is really hard and a completely valid problem in and of itself. But if it helps at all, I just wanted to share my story. I guess I'm just saying cherish what you do have while you have it. I wish I could go back. I would cry with joy if this horrible disease would just go away and the pain would stop. I don't think any of us on here really do want to die, we just want the pain to stop. You are a valuable person and we need you here. Take care.

I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I will keep you in my prayers. I actually do often think that things could be so much worse.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that a lot. I hope you start to feel better soon.

Yes. Sadly. It's almost like a constant numbness. At least, that is my experience. My DR has upped my meds and my therapist listens, blah blah blah. But, it's just emptiness. What keeps me going is trying to find the good in the littlest of things. And, I mean little. But, it's working at the moment. The small victories. I hope this is something that will eventually pass for myself and for you.

Just keep logging onto this website and you will find people that understand how you are feeling. I think the hardest part of day to day living is seeing people all around who seem to have it all together and are enjoying life.
Depression colors everything dark and it makes it impossible to see the joy in anything. Life IS hard. Try making a list of those things that seem to help and read it daily. A saying I have is: "Do the thing you don't want to do". Like taking a walk, doing something for someone else, even reading some other threads on Daily Strength and commenting from experiece to help someone else. Moving beyond yourself helps!! Nothing we have gone through is wasted. I have been able to draw on my experiences to help others, even the worst things I have gone through have put me in a position to empathize with someone else. Trust that you are here for a reason.
