I have had times when I’ve had depression, namely post natal depression. At that time I lost all motivation but more importantly I lost the ability to just cope with normal stuff. I finally want to the doctor and was prescribed Prozac and I literally felt so much better in just two weeks.
Then at other times I have just felt both overwhelmed and underwhelmed with life at the same time. Learning how to be happy, or maybe even just content is one of the biggest blessings in life.
Theres a fine line between being too busy and not busy enough. Some people need to have a goal in front of them all the time, others like to have the opposite.
You are a good age to discover what makes you content as you can use this for the rest of your life. I’m susceptible to SAD so I use a light box and take vit D. There is evidence to say that your gut micobiome can influence your mental health. Some exercise, socialising, hobbies etc are all recommended.
I would suggest you read up online anything to help you out of this rut and remember what works for another person may not work for you.
Im an introvert so my idea of hell is a loud party but for another person, planning a massive shindig is what gets them going.
Hobbies and a gratitude journal are a really good start.
