I've had dysthymia for years, and I am familiar with depression. It usually comes in waves, being a bit better or worse for a couple of weeks. But this wave has been going on for months.

In the past I just kept myself busy, found fun things in life or dabbled in toxic, self destructive behaviour. Things have changed(personality wise for the better).

But due to my lack of structure in live, lack of energy and lack of self-worth this period has been extremely long for me personally.

I know I shouldn't compare myself with other people here, as I'm sure a lot of you are in way worse situations, but it sucks and I don't know how to get out
