From a teen in the U.S.: I struggle with constantly doing things so time will pass rather than enjoying them and don’t have interest in anything that used to be fun. For a year, i watched YouTube from morning to night and had an awful boredom/dread feeling because I didn’t have interest in doing anything else (including youtube) and for the last few months, I’ve been doing other things even though I get the bad feeling while doing them often.
I feel lost because I can’t enjoy anything and always just want to go to bed but can’t even sleep in because i feel bad if i do and continue to subject myself to the feeling. I used to be so sad when I had to force myself to sleep because being awake was so fun but now I dread going on the Internet and doing other things that used to be fun. I just want to be happy again and not focus on time so much and go back to not wanting time to pass so I can do more. If anyone knows anything that can stop this, please let me know.
I’m currently in therapy and have a psychiatrist but it’s not helping enough and I’m interested in what others have to say.
I”m very glad you wrote. Please take your letter and this response to your therapist and your psychiatrist. They probably don’t know that treatment isn’t working for you. Your letter is an honest explanation of how you feel. They need to see it so they can work with you to make the changes that are necessary to help you feel better.
I wish you well.
