What can I do to break the cycle of depression characterized by loss of appetite, very low energy, sadness, lack of joy in activities I love, and mood changes, including feeling extremely suicidal for 1, 2, or 3 days before returning to a somewhat normal state? I want to go to the gym, build myself up, make money, and engage in self-improvement activities, but the cycle keeps recurring. Sometimes this cycle can even happen within a single day.
I have been experiencing depression for a long time, characterized by loss of appetite, very low energy, sadness, lack of joy in activities I love, and mood changes (feeling high one moment and then more depressed than ever). This cycle can last for 1, 2, or 3 days, during which I feel extremely suicidal, and then I return to a somewhat normal state afterward. I want to go to the gym, build myself up, make money, and engage in self-improvement activities, but then the cycle continues, and I go back to feeling depressed. Sometimes this cycle can even happen within a single day. What can I do to break this cycle?
I feel stuck in a never-ending loop. Most of the time, I'm too tired and depressed to do anything, and when I don't do anything, I get more depressed. I feel depressed and tired when I'm alone, but as an introvert, I also get tired around people. I have zero motivation to get anything done, even if there's a reward. How can I break this cycle?
