I don't quiet understand what this is.. My family and friends are staying it sounds like depression so I'd like your opinion. Please just be honest, don't sugar coat it. I constantly have no motivation for anything, everything I used to enjoy now feels dull or extremely draining. I have no passion, sympathy or hope left. I am constantly feeling like I am the problem. It's difficult to get out of bed in the morning, at nights I can't sleep and if I do it's usually really late (for the past three weeks or so I've seen the sun come up each night). I've been told I'm extremely irritatable and short tempered, especially recently. I can't control my thoughts, I overthink about everything. Every little detail. No matter what I can't stop. Most days I find myself wishing that I wake up as someone else. Anyone else. (sorry this is more of a rant at this moment) I don't understand why or what is happening. Opinions?

I felt similar a few months back... my issue was that I lost my drive. I gained a bunch of weight and let myself bed rot. I made myself get out of bed and start doing simple daily tasks, and it's getting better. The war inside your head isn't an easy one. I hope things have gotten better for you.

Some of what is contributing could be where you live. If you live where the sunlight is much less this time of year you may have S.A.D. ( Seasonal Affective Disorder) and light therapy can help as can Vitamin D3.

From my experience of living with depression 20 years or more. It really sounds like you have depression to me. Message me for any further opinions or advice, or if you'd like to chat. 😊

@KratomEater could it be because of the holidays?

This sounds exactly like when my depression and anxiety get the better of me. Although, much more of this leans towards depression than anxiety, aside from the overthinking. I'm sorry you're dealing with this, it can be such a rough ride, especially not getting the right sleep.
Depression has all of those symptoms that you have spoken of and then some you may not even realise you have. You don't need to have all the symptoms of depression to have it. You have enough to easily be diagnosed with it. How long has this been going on for you?

I was diagnosed with MDD a couple years ago and those are symptoms I tend to struggle with. Especially lack of motivation and hopelessness, like “what’s the point”. Therapy has really helped me almost more than any of my medications; even if you don’t talk to a provider for medication, finding a therapist to help you work through what’s causing those symptoms can really help
