I have hobbies, but nothing is fun. It's like being in a hospital, you do things to pass the time. (lemmy.world)

Sounds like you need medication and therapy. Depression is like an infection. It doesn’t get better on its own you gotta get treatment. I can’t stress enough that therapy and medication are required to treat depression. Depression fucks with your perception and distorts everything.

It’s a pita to find a therapist and psych but ask for help from a friend or family member. That way they can do the heavy lifting while you begin recovery. You wouldn’t expect someone in bed with the flu and 102 fever to help themselves. Someone needs to help you help yourself.
