What are your healthy coping strategies?

...See more In the past, I've simply felt down and hopeless. Now, however, I'm numb to everything and it's driving me. Nothing really brings me pleasure anymore and my laughter and smile sounds and looks horribly empty no matter what I do. Is there anything you do that helps ease this feeling?

I don't understand myself

...See more I really don't know if I have depression. I keep telling myself I don't because I'm not horribly sad all the time and it's not like I have zero energy to do anything...I can't remember when this happened, but I used to love reading. Books were my best friends. My life. Then like a flick of a switch I couldn't bring myself to read them anymore. It was painful to read them, actually. I just have no interest for what I loved so much. I told my friend the other day I haven't read a book for enjoyment in two years and she couldn't believe me and I keep buying books in hopes my motivation and love will eventually come back. Secondly, I'm really quite hopeless. I can't see myself doing anything with my life because I don't believe I'm good enough. I have had bad thoughts but seriously I don't think I would ever put them into action. I don't know if I'm really depressed or if I'm just dramatic and need to get over myself. I'm sorry for making you read so much. Thank you so much for your time
