Dysthymia has left me feeling empty

Dysthymia aka persistent depressive disorder ,is a type of depression that leaves you feeling empty, underwhelmed and lost.
Here I explain how it's been affecting me lately.

Thanks for sharing the feeling I have too. I can relate that you try to explain it to people, but they can not understand because they come up with "solutions" that "should" solve the problem.

I do stuff, but feel nothing, nothing exites me, I don't feel anger or happyness, its all grey and vanilla as I would call it. Very boring. Traveling, hobbies, work, relationships/love all feel empty and very abstract. I know that I'm not alone with this problem but I also have thoughts of not going to deal with it anymore, it is getting more difficult to live this way. I'm only 30 now but if my life will be this way untill I get 60, I'm out.

You have a kid that you can take care of, so that gives you kind of a mission/goal in life.
If you don't have a purpose or mission in life (ambition), its really difficult to continue.

I hope you will get through this and you are doing better. I know this video is 3 years old now but I just came across this. Strong that you share it with the world!

I stumbled across this video by accident, but could not relate more. I get all the things done, but feel... nothing. Thank you for sharing. It makes me feel less alone.

Thank you SO much for sharing this! as someone in their own dark tunnel this has really helped me to recognise a few things. Sending you nothing but good energy

My problem is I can function when you give me a task; I have no self motivation to start my own tasks. I can get out of bed, get dressed, etc… I just can’t function to work or socialize.

Appreciate the video. Do you suffer with anhedonia too ?
