Lost interest in everything
Hey everyone, I've struggled with depression for over 10 years now. I've been in and out of therapy just as long and whilst it has helped me to understand and deal with things so I don't end up suicidal etc I've noticed that I lack interest in everything. Like I'll do a hobby I used to love like sketching or reading and I find it monotonous and dull. It feels like a chore and gives me no enjoyment at all. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey Marisa :)
I am sorry to hear that you are not finding enjoyment in your old hobbies! It can be really hard to find that something that once gave you pleasure now just doesn't. I have dealt with this several times in the past, usually, I just give it a few weeks and come back and if it still isn't what it used to be I start the look for a new hobby. It is a great way to find new things to enjoy, even if it means you have lost something you used to enjoy. Good luck hon!
