I can't come up with a clever title.. Depression red flags/Warning signs

...See more I read something earlier that kind of described my own internal conflicts. Growing up, I'm sure a lot of us have heard "Quit complaining, someone out there has it worse than you".Right? So were kinda raised on the basis that things could be worse and I feel like thats something a lot of us hold against ourselves. Our situations arent quite bad enough to seek help. Or were exaggerating how we feel. Maybe? When is enough enough? What red flag is the one that kinda says "Hey this is serious, you should reach out for help". I'm not looking for a definative answer. Im just at a crossroads and I'm not for sure where to go from here. It feels like im hanging out in limbo, staring into the void. I don't know if I just keep pushing through and waiting to see how things go or if its something I need help with. I really don't know. Feel free to share personal stories or views. I'd appreciate hearing from others as to what made you decide to seek help. Thank you.
Normality in feeing nothing.

...See more This is my first time posting, sorry if this isnt how things work! I just feel like I need to get something off my chest and Im not even for sure what *this* is, because I struggle to find the right words. This year has had by far been my hardest and I dont want to go into details but here recently, erhhh the past few months, I have felt a whole lot of nothing. Well, for the most part, anyways. I used to feel calm when I got time to do things like relax and enjoy morning coffee (Im always excited for coffee) or I felt at peace when I went outside because lets face it, nature is beautiful. But these past few months, its like all of those content feelings have faded away and I failed to realize it. Of course I have realized it now, since it dawns on me that whenever Im feeling something, it tends to be sad. Something thats big enough to bring me to tears. I feel silly typing this but I feel even weirder about going through my day in motions. Its just motions that im not feeling any connection to. Which is what I dont understand... I figured it was a fleeting episode of sorts that would pass through and it hasnt. It doesnt matter how big or small the situation is (or whatever Im going through), I dont feel any emotional connection.. Is that apart of depression? Is there normalicy In feeling little to nothing at all? I dont know how to manage this. I feel fake. Is this relatable .?
