Dont use this thread to self diagnose, this is to spread awareness. None of these are reasons to kiII oneself, its rather why we feel that way. I will talk about topics that might be triggering. Some of the symptoms i‘ll list aren’t mine, if they’re described wrong i‘ll correct
1. apathy/numbness
Unable to feel any joy, everything seems to have no worth and things that used to be fun arent fun anymore.
It affects our lives more than any person without mental illness could imagine. It’s a major symptom on why people don’t see any meaning on life

It’s not easy to „just be happy“ esp in that world we all live in together
2. immense lack of motivation and energy
The lack of motivation can go to not showering to not even getting out to bed. This isnt us being lazy, it’s us being mentally exhausted

3. questioning the meaning behind everything
Like I listed above, simple self care such as showering can also seem meaningless to the point of not even trying. Some might think they don’t even deserve it

4. intrusive thoughts
Unwanted thoughts/pictures of violent/sexual/disturbing acts/ideas, such as hurting someone or oneself, appearing out of nowhere. It’s often linked to OCD but more to that later

5. Severe Anxiety that causes physical pain
Some ppl w anxiety disorders develop chronic physical pain (ex stomach aches) due to severe anxiety. This can affect heavily daily life to the point of being too anxious to go outside. It could cause heavy panic attacks

6. Obsession and Compulsion
Developing an Obsession to something that causes compulsion towards it. One might suffers severe anxiety and/or intrusive thoughts if they don’t fulfill their obsession. They also might have a compulsion to check on things (such as door locking)

multiple times like a ritual in fear of something bad happening
7. Social isolation
Social isolation might be caused by anxiety or depressive symptoms (such as lack of energy). Social Isolation can cause loneliness, loss of friendship or even touch of reality and time

8. Derealization and Depersonalization
Some people experience the feelings of not living in a real world; this phenomen is called derealization. Depersonalisation is described as feeling like a robot or/and an outside observer of themselves (as ex floating in the air)

Depersonalisation also could mean that ones not sure of their memories or even if it’s their own memories. Those were only a few examples but both can interfere in daily life
There is even more to this but i keep this short bc my point stands. Not everyone’s life is easy and an „uwu being alive is just good and dead just bad“ just changes nothing. Guiltripping people who are suffering ain’t it. Also kinda ironic that while I was making this, it felt
like in the end it wouldn’t matter anyways because most ppl wouldnt give an actual sh*t abt it as long as they can act like „the good person“ they are to feel special. Ik op could’ve had good intentions but the way they did it was a$$.
