Help with depression/lack of interest and motivation
I feel like I’ve been in a depressive slump for months now. I want to do things, have hobbies, make friends, but have absolutely no motivation to do so, and things that would normally interest me just seem boring and/or too hard. I have trouble thinking of new things to try, and even if I force myself to do something I know I’ve traditionally loved, it just feels like so much effort.
At the same time, I feel restless and bored constantly. I just don’t know what to do.
I also don’t have a car, which severely limits my options (impulsively sold it and regret it immensely, now don’t have the money to afford a new one).
What are some low effort, cozy, easy, but interesting and engaging things you all like to do? Preferably from home, or without having to go far? And/or… how do you deal with similar feelings/depressive episodes? Do you just wait for them to go away? Do you actively try to do something to change the way you’re feeling?
