I really need help
i’m a 21 year old girl and ever since i graduated high school 3 years ago it feels like all the passion disappeared from my life. even studying. my whole life became going to classes, coming home, sleeping, then studying a few hours before exams. that’s literally it. no hobbies, no fun memories, no friendships, nothing exciting. sometimes i’d cook just because i wanted to feel something different for once. i even skipped lectures all the time because i had no energy for anything.
then this year everything started getting worse really fast. my anxiety got so bad and i started having panic attacks. i started hating studying and my grades dropped badly. . i made so many impulsive stupid decisions because i stopped caring about anything anymore but at the same time the anxiety keeps eating me alive every second.
all i do is sleep. sleep all day and wish i could stay asleep longer so i don’t have to deal with life. i tried making friends for years but everyone eventually distances themselves or ghosts me and now i push people away before they can do it first because i already expect it.
this whole year passed and i didn’t do a single enjoyable thing. nothing. i keep looking at people my age going out with friends, traveling, making memories, falling in love, living normally meanwhile i spend most of my time laying in bed sleeping, crying, overthinking and feeling disconnected from reality. i feel like i’m dreaming 24/7 and nothing around me feels real anymore.
every week or two i fall into a horrible depression where i cry constantly and start questioning what the point of my life even is. then maybe i feel okay for a day or two and everything crashes again. i even tried traveling because i thought maybe changing places would fix me somehow but i still spent most of the trip sleeping, crying, feeling lonely and empty.
nothing makes me feel happy anymore. not even the things i used to enjoy. i feel like i’m just a body walking around wasting oxygen. i don’t have motivation for anything, no excitement for anything, no energy for anything. i just want to sleep all the time.
i tried therapy and every therapist keeps saying the same things like sleep better, journal, walk more, talk to people, distract yourself and none of it helped. i feel like nobody understands what’s happening to me and not even therapists understand me. i don’t even want psychiatric medication because i already feel lost enough and i don’t know who i even am anymore.
i feel so lost and exhausted and i don’t know why life suddenly started feeling this empty.
