Enjoyment.

Although I've been like I am forever, I've noticed that compared to now, a few years ago I was able to enjoy and appreciate small things more. Like I remember a few years ago I enjoyed staying up really late, just on the computer, without even any communication with people, and felt good when I went to bed. Now it just feels normal, and I rarely feel good now. Maybe that's just because I've got used to it, or all to do with not being able to give or receive love. But I feel like I'm always waiting for something. Nowadays I don't feel like getting out of bed most of the time, unlike many years ago I would get up pretty much as soon as I woke up. Listening to music most times never fails to bring enjoyment, but then I'm back to normal again, and doing my own musical things is the only thing I really feel motivated for, although when that's not going well I feel terrible. The limited amount of communicating on the internet I get to do probably brings me the most joy on the internet now, BUT that means when I feel other people don't want to communicate with me, I feel worse than before. I can't seem to live in the moment any more. I kind of think "after this has happened or I've done this I'll feel good and I can live". But it feels like my brains fed up of living and is waiting to die, where as my heart still wants to do and enjoy things. I also feel like my minds overcrowded with unnecessary thoughts, about every small detail of whatever I do. I don't know maybe I'm just in a depressive wave.
And I feel like I need to get away. I get tired of living amongst my family. I feel I get closer to enjoying things when I'm alone. But I am very lonely, I just want the company of an actual nice friend rather than family, when I do want company.

It does seem to happen in waves. Just recently I went through a period of finding it hard to enjoy things or to have fun. I tend to start dwelling on negative thoughts too much. I think you hit the nail on the head when you say about the unnecessary thoughts. These are what disturb me the most. They make it hard to enjoy things because they are very distracting and ruin concentration. You can get stuck in ruts, and change isn't a bad thing.

Music is a great way to relax and drown out the negative thoughts. Relaxation techniques can help a great deal as well.

Thanks for reading and replying. Yeah, I always get in waves, but I just seem to in a long bad one. And yeah, those thoughts, I just want to be free from them.
Yeah music is the main thing that temporarily makes me feel better. I should probably try relaxation techniques like you said too

I just find it hard to get motivated, I havn't got any hobbies anymore. I used to love art and music but just can't get inspired! I read alot though, and get lost in fantasy lands for hours to pass the time.
