How are people even able to live their lifes? Nothing feels real I have to constantly remind myself that I'm person. The stagnation also feels soulcrushing, but I don't have the motivation to do something either.

Because 90% of them aren't clinically depressed.
Seriously, you just named off three symptoms of depression. Like, actual, medical depression.
I felt the same way when I was depressed. I'm not depressed now, but I still don't particularly care about being alive or functioning as a regular member of society. But part of what got me out of depression was the realization that I could help other people, even if I didn't give a single shit about myself. In fact, that made it easier to help other people. Other people that care about things and want things and love things. Good people that need, that deserve some fucking help, someone on their side that doesnt want a single thing in return.
I fantasize constantly about dying. Cars swerving to kill me. Getting gunned down buying food. Anything to put me down. But I'll never commit suicide, because I'll die eventually, there is no rush. In the mean time, I can lift others up.
And sometimes its even enough to justify all the stupid little bullshit in life.

But I'm not depressed, I'm just too lazy to do anything in my life. Seeing how other people like my sister are noving forward and improving, while I don't even have the energy for videogames and anime anymore feels pretty bad.

You seem pretty depressed anon. Losing interest in things you once loved is depression.

I'm not sure that I'm depressed, but even if I wasn't, I don't think I would be able to help others. It is hard for me to feel empathy in general, I always had much trouble with interpersonal abilities. I often think about suicide and have "plans", but I don't really want to die, it feels like I want to stop existing. But trying to help people is pretty ambitious, I respect you for that.

I probably don't have clinical depression, it is just a bad phase which is going on for too long. Maybe it is just my life. I often ask myself how it feels to like to have fun or some other emotion, I often think that I can't even remember these things anymore.

I felt the same way for awhile, it was just a bad phase for me. Whole thing lasted about 6 months, but I'm sure you'll get through it eventually.

I'm like this for over 2 years already, sometimes I have phases where I am "content" and feel some sort of serenity, but then it goes downhill again. Having to always remind myself if I'm real, that I'm a person. I feel totally lifeless and don't know what I should do. Sleeping all the time and then puking while waking up is also bad. What is wrong with me.

what were you doing differently two years ago that you aren't now? what changed that put you in this state?
