Loss of Interest in EVERYTHING

[Spirit_Blue]

Hi. First post. I don't understand why my interest drops off for weeks at a time. I'm almost 50 yrs old, have had lots of therapy and med changes which were working and then nothing. Nothing is pulling me out of depression. Life is to short for this. Very sad, very frustrated.

Hi, I feel the same way. I’m going on a trip tomorrow and part of me doesn’t even want to go. Nothing much seems to excite me lately. I’m trying to just be ok with how I’m feeling vs pushing against it and wanting to feel differently then I do.

I like to watch cat or dog videos online to make me smile, it seems to help me feel a little something ❤️

Hi. My Dad invited me on a road trip but I can't get happy enough to go. Now I feel guilty for not going and spending time with him.

Hello, sounds to me like you are depressed have you talked to your Dr? You are in the menopause age group, it played havoc with me, talk to a gynecologist. There is help for you & yeggers, you may need some antidepressants for a while to get you thru this. Do not suffer needlessly, can you go and talk to a therapist, I find that really helps, I have a wonderful lady who specializes in Depression/Anxiety, she has helped a Lot. I hope yeggers reads this also, i do not know her/him or age, there is help available, so be kind to yourselves and seek it out. Talk to us here we will help if we can. Sending you love, clear thinking and feeling, strength, joy with Big Hugs....Sprinkle 1.....

Hi. Here's the thing, I am on meds. They just seem to stop working for weeks at a time and then will work again. It's bizarre!

Hi, we just never know what the brain will do, I am sorry you are having this problem, have you talked with your Dr? I was on Prozac for 10 years and it served me well, then I built up a tolerance to it. So then I went onto Zoloft and the same thing happened, the last 3 years have been awful, trying one med. and another, I am now on Cymbalta 50 mg, it is working, I wonder for how long? I understand how you must feel, please talk to someone who can really help you. I send you peace, love and big hugs....Sprinkle 1.....
