i don't know wtf to do, /lit/. i've always been prone to these feelings, but typically they won't last longer than a day or two. this has been a week and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. what do you do when reading & other activities no longer bring you pleasure and you feel a pervasive numbness throughout your system?
Seek help, you're depressed.

i don't even feel that bad or sad though, certainly not like i did a few years ago. just incapable of enjoying things as deeply as i once did and chronically bored.

Maturation? Try finding new interests, see if that spruces you up.

That's the literal definition of depression, Anon. I'm with that other guy, try to find a therapist.
Could be low dopamine caused by overstimulation.

What if I told you there are basically no effective treatments for serious depression. besides, you know, falling ass-backwards into a better life?

what would you recommend?

well at least i don't feel suicidal anymore. to be honest i'll probably never seek a therapist, at least not until i reach the absolute bottom. too ashamed to admit my issues to anyone other than myself and anonymous internet strangers, ever since i was a child and was diagnosed with adhd.

pretty much every word of that applies to me too.
exercise/lifting honestly helps

Anything, really. I had similar bout when I was younger. The key is to do things that your normal self would cringe at. Take dancing for example. You're out dancing or whatever... look across the room, picture yourself slacked against the wall, making a face and thinking how humiliating. Kill this guy. No, seriously, kill him. Dance harder and more obscenely. Have more fun and be extra loud. You need to crush this insecurity. Trust me, you'll come out a better person, and you'll be legit proud of yourself for facing up to your self-loathing.

Get pissed off and keep reading. Giving depression and laziness a flashy name doesn't change what they are or make them any more special snowflake.
stop snorting coke or if you haven't been snorting coke, snort coke
