How to live with no energy left?

[Fate111]

It's been a year since I literally feel sth, i dont get happy or sad and I CANT EVEN CRY, I feel numb, no energy to live zero motivation to get out of bed and struggle with everyday life , going to class everyday ,doing task and writing a damn dissertation ,I have nothing to live to ,Im done in my 20s , some days i feel a bit better but most of the time Im overwhelmed ,its been a year that I started therapy ,I dont know why its not working for me ,I acknowledge my pains and their reason but afterall I dont feel well, I don't have the energy to live, whats worse is like there's no one to understand, I hate this situation why its not getting over?

Everyone here hates me for having a learning disability. I am nice when I want to be and I just don't want to be falsely accused of making more than one account or being a fake person if you can't see a lonely person behind the screen . I am trying to be honest most of the time .

Hello . I am sorry you are having a hard time . I am glad that you went and seeked help when you needed it . And that was a brave thing to do to talk through your pain and struggles . Is your therapy finished now ?. I can't diagnosed you but it sounds like you have depression . Have you had any diagnosis ?.Your not alone , 1 in 3 people have some type of mental health crisis or illness in their lives. And sometimes we can't put our fingers on what exactly causes it .

Here is a video with some tips

Thanks for your comment, my therapist doesn't share his diagnosis with me, he says I shouldn't label myself ,but I know its depression, just wondering wich stage it is😅

[Megapanda in reply to Fate111]

No worries . What country are you from ? I don't think we used stages in the UK . We have like different types depending on the cause . My diagnosis is clinical depression . If you look at the references you might be able to figure it out . Or if your a good terms with your therapist . Ask them, say that it will help you to know .

Hi Fate! I see a lot of feelings in there, in what you wrote. Not happy or sad, but let’s see if I get any of these right….You are frustrated with the lack of progress in therapy. You are overwhelmed with the responsibilities placed upon you. You are despondent and incredulous at your inability to cry. And you feel angry - at life, at people, and maybe at yourself.

Wrong? Right?

It’s hard to feel such negative feelings, especially when we want to feel powerful, proud, calm, enthusiastic, and content. I like when I can see my progress and feel good about the things I’m doing at least some of the damn day. I bet you’re like that too! I hope better feelings are around the corner for you. 😌

Thanks, I think you describe my feelings better than I did, I hope I could get back the meaning of my life ,and my senses

Hi Fate,I really can relate to these feelings and have struggled in the past with them. What I do that helps me the most is talking about it to a trusted adult who will know better than me. Therapy hasn't been working the best for me either but I still try to take it one day at a time and try and reflect about what I have learned each therapy session. I like to write a lot and if you don't I can understand that. Try recording yourself ranting, expressing each emotion and then reflect on why you feel that way. Positive reminders can also be a big help, I like to have them on my walls and mirrors so I can be reminded no matter what that things will be okay. Your mental disorder does not define you! It might control your life, but coping techniques are what's really gonna help. You can get passed this and it will be okay. Just remember to breathe, find things that make you feel like you have a purpose, and take it one day at a time. We want to take steps forward, not steps back. You are on the right track already by going to therapy and expressing your feelings. Life is worth living! I promise you!

❤️

Thanks for your comment 🙏, if I could have a purposes that could get me out of bed , everything would be ok, but unfortunately my goal gives me more stress and I feel I can not achieve them so its better to do nothing

[cherryblossomm in reply to Fate111]

maybe try finding a different purpose that is simple yet achievable? I don't even think I have one at the moment other than finding out more about myself, maybe try making a pet your purpose as a starter? Personally my dog needs to have a walk every day and its a good reason to get out of my bed and get some needed exercise. If not a dog maybe a cat? Or a hamster? I think it can be tough when you don't have that extra comfort even if it can't talk back to you. But knowing something relies on you in order to live can be helpful ❤️

It sounds as if you have more than one goal. You should choose one to focus on; any other goals should be the little ones that lead you to achieve your main goal. It could be that the goal is not yours but someone else's. Might this be the case? In which case, you need to find your passion.

Harsh times call for harsh medicine. 6-8 hours of sleep each night. 2 rounds of the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube, before you get out of bed. It’s all aggressive mouth breathing, no nose breathing. Nose breathing is ok later in the day. Then 30-40 minutes of daily cardio exercise to produce endorphins or seratonin. Then a 5 minute cold shower. 70 degrees is a good temperature to start. You can catch water in a pan and check the temperature. Then lower the temperature by 2 degrees per week. And don’t be afraid to talk to a god of your own understanding. Like a father or loving mother. I don’t think all this amazing life is an accident. I sure don’t have all the answers about god and I know god is ok with that. But the creator likes it when I talk to him. I call him a him because most of the people who died and came back, felt a masculine presence. In thier near death experience. A loving energy of unconditional love. I was not raised in a religious house. But I don’t think the sun and weather made all the amazing life. That led me to seek god. And life is just too precious to not try . Try what I ask for 3 days, and let me know? Maybe see a dr too

You just gotta hang in there. Fight. Don't give up. There's no percentage in quitting.

How's your medication if you are on any. I cant move at all if meds are not working. Therapy may need to change if the one you have isn't working. Maybe wrong therapist for you, or wrong model. BTW, dissertations are known to suck the energy out of anyone. Giving my support to your journey
