Well, I wondered how other people get motivated and are able to push through the DP and Depression symptoms? Right now, I am doing just enough to get by. Working, working out/exercising. That's about it. Not much past that. Just doing what I need to do to survive I guess.
But, how can I live my life like this? I need to know how to ignore it, etc. But yet, I can't "just ignore it"...it is too bothersome and the Depression is tooooo bad. Staying home from work won't do anything, cause all I will do is sleep and I don't feel like doing anything else, so I would just sit at home and mope and get more depressed.
I just don't know how much longer I can be like this. Soon it will really be affecting my life and causing severe problems with growing up, moving up in the workworld, meeting new people, etc. I need help bad. Comments and suggestions are, as always, appreciated. Thanks.

yea i know what you mean, i dont motivate myself to do anything really i jus kinda sit and tell myself to do something but never do it or put it off, like for instance i keep tellin myself to go to the gym and work out but ive been sayin that since late november but haven't gone once because there is no drive. I really pity myself but noone does because they see me as functioning(talking, eating, sleeping etc..) But they dont know how i really feel inside my head and noone and i mean noone can help except myself. I really have to do something dramatic to really do anything good. Lazyness surrounds my body, i think mostly because i just moved to shithole kansas, From los angelesand that really depressed me and my mom wants me to get a job. I look for work but noone hires me and i spend all my time in my room surrounded by posters the tv, computer, food. Sometimes i work on my motorcycle because speed is the only thing that i can feel, but that feeling has subsided in me. This thread is turning negative so im gonna STOP.

The lack of motivation is bad enough. But when it's compounded by depression, I'm pretty much a zombie. When I overcome the depression, though, and get myself moving it's tolerable. The things I can do are more actively engaging -- hanging out with friends, fooling around with the computer, going to the gym, writing etc. The things I can't do (due to lack of engagement/motivation) are passive things such as watching TV, reading, etc. So I have to live within this sphere (for now).

Sounds like life's getting a bit repetative and boring for you guys. My lifestyle has gotten XTREME...ly boring lately and the only thing i live for is girls, traveling, and my next smoke break.

Hehe, i don't know how i just get by, because during my midday dp sessions i'm just like 'here we go again' and just live with it. silly brain....
