It`s summer holiday here. For almost three weeks I have done nothing. I have been surfing on the internet and I rarely went out of the house - when I did this I went to see my psychiatrist or therapist (psychologist) - I don`t know which word to use in English about the last one but it isn`t important. Most of the time I don`t want to do anything but sometimes I want but I`m just too depressed or something to get started. I think I need a person at my age who would like to spend time with me but there isn`t this kind of me person for me. I am not motivated to do something alone and I also have very bad social anxiety. I also think I`m kinda addicted to the computer and I have concentrating difficulties. I don`t know what to do, I`m bored and I`m totally wasting my life but I don`t have will-power, motivation and strength to do something about it.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello,
The things that you mention are very common to depression. How are you doing with it? Is therapy helping? I am praying for you.

No, therapy isn`t helping me but I have done it for short time and maybe it`s too early to expect something. Opening up to my therapist is still very hard but I think I`m slowly doing it.

Two things that really made a difference when I was severely depressed some years ago were therapy and medication. It took a little time before both started working.
It sounds like you are being proactive in your therapeutic relationship. Like any relationship, it can and should improve over time.
I pray the very best for you and yours.
