If I never get motivated to change, is there any hope at all?

0

I’ve suffered from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts since 14, I’m 20 now. I’ve gone through various meds and therapies but non have taken because I’m just not motivated to change. I might be scared of being happy. Worried about failure. Or just too tired. If I never get motivated what can I do to have hope? It’s been dwindling since this has been on my mind.

Is there a cause to this? Sometimes its best to avoid situations or people that contribute to depressing feelings. I also like to participate in new hobbies like swimming, yoga, videogames, Netflix, etc. Find what you can keep busy with and talk to!
Best of luck to you, girl!

TBH, in my personal experience, the best thing for depression is finding a routine that you are obligated to uphold. For me, that was getting a job. For you, it could be something else. Just find something that you really want to do - take a yoga class, sign up for a pottery class at your local community college, hire a personal trainer (exercise is a great anti-depressant) - and make it an obligation, a routine. Something you can't skip out on that will get you out of the house and moving, doing things, anything. You don't necessarily have to change everything, just make small changes that you actually WANT. For me, I wanted financial independence. Maybe you want something that's more about fun or maybe you want to go volunteer for your community. Even seeing a counselor/therapist regularly could help (you don't have to take meds). Depression sucks - I struggled with it for over a year and could barely even leave my room. Message me if you want to talk about it.

Well first of all ask yourself "what do I like?" And if its hard to come up with something try new things. For example if you like writing that opens up a whole doorway of opportunities that could get you motivated. If you also like music you could write songs for people who sing or you can sing them yourself. Just express yourself. Do what makes you happy and once you do youll be motivated to be the best at it. Believe you can do something and youre half done (: I hope this helped. (:
