I feel the same.
It no longer feels like a pendulum, but a washing machine, cycling through sadness and meaninglessness to only wash up with boredom. This is all of course punctuated once in a while with drug induced euphoria. I am sure nothing will change.

Well, I'm not him, but anhedonia has been a very large part of my depression for years now. I get very little pleasure out of most things; socialising, learning, media, eating. In fact I just got out of a three month period where I neve left the house, and spent the majority of my time lying in bed, and staring at the ceiling.

Yeah, I've tried therapists, and lots of drugs; hasn't made much difference yet. I'm going on a MAOI soon, pretty much as powerful as anti depressants get; we'll see if it works, What's really weird about it though, is nothing triggered it, one day I was fine, then within days I started getting horrible anxiety for nothing in particular, panic attacks every day for several months; went from being pretty fat, to underweight too, because I felt to sick to eat. Then it just suddenly ended, and the the only thing I've been able to feel since, is either nothing, boredom, or sadness. Strange.

the TLDR of this threat is people are depressed and board.


And I am sure everyone who is having this problem knows how to fix it (Therapy, eat better, get more exercise, self-help books, less internet more meditation, get rid of toxic people find/look for positive, etc etc). So why must we bemoan and complain online? Is it for solidarity sake? To maybe see that others feel the same?

Come on you fucks, get it together. If existentialism isn't doing it for you, then buddhism, if buddhism isn't doing it for you than absurdism, if absurdism isn't doing it for you then christianity, if christianity isn't doing it for you then make your own theology/philosophy, and if you can make your own, take a walk then read a book tell you find something that works. The ending is already written your fucked and are going to die, so embrace the climb or die sooner.

Going to the doctor is not an option. Too poor for fucking anything. Half my life has been so shit.

You seem to be missing the point. Slow down and do some re-reading.

It applies to your eyes because even if you become blind you can still have sex, or idk, listen to music or not spend time on 4chan and still listen to audio books. Could also get gov't assistance. It doesn't matter what little quarks are wrong, the overall message is start working on whatever it is, and if you cant fix it, fix around it.

No need to get all suicidal and dramatic and shit. Try reddit maybe, they got a suicide prevention subreddit and all that.

I can relate do this. My mood is constantly changing actually. Sometimes I'm very sad and sometimes something just clicks and I'm very happy. Or sometimes I wake up feeling angry or with energy rush out of the blue.
And the thing is that it's most often not because of any proper reason. Then I just start trying to give it some reason by trying to associate some event to it though I know that my mood didn't really change because of that event, it just did. Most often sadness though.
