Losing interest in everything
I am new here because honestly l don't really have anyone to talk to. This has been going on for only the past few days where l have been really depressed. Part of it is because l have realised l have not many friends in my life. I mean l have them but we can meet only few times a year on top of that I am also getting really nostalgic all of a sudden regarding my childhood and l have never felt this way before. I don't know why l am feeling like this all of a sudden. I just want this feeling to go away. Because of the above l am now starting to lose interest in anything that used to interest me before and it is terrifying. And it's also really difficult for me to talk about this with anyone. Sometimes l feel like l am barely even living right now.

That sounds like such a strange and unsettling feeling to suddenly have everything you used to enjoy feel distant. I can understand why that would be scary, especially when you don’t know why it’s happening.
The part about feeling nostalgic for your childhood really stood out to me. Sometimes when we’re going through a difficult or lonely period, our minds can start looking back at times when we felt safer or happier.
I hope you’re able to take things one day at a time right now. Even if you don’t feel like yourself lately, the fact that you reached out shows there’s still a part of you trying to understand what’s going on. 💙

How is it today?
Thank you for asking and l feel a lot better now and am starting to regain my interest ❤️
Hey, I'm really sorry you're going through this.
First of all, I'm glad you posted here instead of keeping it all to yourself. What you're describing doesn't sound weird or silly at all. Sometimes these feelings seem to come out of nowhere, and it can be really scary when you start losing interest in the things you used to enjoy.
The nostalgia part really stood out to me. I think sometimes our brains look back at childhood because we miss the feeling of safety, familiarity, or when life felt a little simpler. That doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with you.
I also relate to the friendship part. Having friends but only seeing them a few times a year can still feel incredibly lonely. You can be surrounded by people and still feel like you don't really have anyone to lean on.
Please don't convince yourself that this is how you're going to feel forever. The fact that this has only been happening for a few days makes me hope it's something you can work through, even if it doesn't feel that way right now.
And if it keeps getting worse or you find yourself feeling like you're barely living for more than just these last few days, I really hope you'll consider talking to someone you trust or a mental health professional. You don't have to carry this by yourself.
Thank you for such a kind response and yes l am actually feeling a lot better though still get upset at times it's still bearable and l am starting to regain my interest maybe because I am starting to think a little more positively that my life will get better.
Hi there sweet soul. Im so sorry your experiencing this. And trust me, I KNOW what your feeling as far as loneliness with your friends. I grew up having 0. As I got older and when I gave my life to jesus christ at 16 he began to heal me of so much stuff and brought me so many wonderful friends into my life. And even when im alone and have no one. It anchors me knowing that I always have Him. I pray for you. You have a purpose, your life MEANS something. Im always here if you want to talk. Youre not alone. How are you doing today??
Thank you for such a kind respond. I am feeling better right now at least no longer having those negative thoughts ❤️
