Why do I feel like this..
Hello,
I'm new to this site/app. Im hoping someone can relate to how I am feeling/been feeling for quite some time. Im not going to go into a lot of detail but I'm not happy, and I feel like I should be. I have everything that should make one happy. I dont struggle, but I still feel so empty all the time...
Hi @fairmindedAcai5065 and @theenarddog
the important thing to try and decide ... Is there anything/lack of anything causing this depression or do you think it is clinical (something physical)
Have you sought any professional help from a doctor or counsellor/psychologist to discuss this further?
Taking medication (with professional guidance) might help
There are lots of self help things that you can do that might help
Make sure you are getting enough sleep/exercise
Make sure you are eating healthy diet ... There are certain foods that increase your serontonin and dopamin that might help you to feel better
Make sure that you are keeping social ... catching up with freinds/chatting to listeners on this site should help :)
Try and find other things that you positively enjoy doing
mine are trying to cook a new recipe, feeding ducks, meeting new people (try meetup)
hope that gives you some food for thought
I;m not an expert ... but these are things that have helped me when feeling down
