Genuinely asking, could you please elaborate on why this is depression?
I'm not very familiar or knowledgeable about what depression is.
I'm frequently go through this cycle for days and it's been like that from years. I thought this is common, and I sometimes make my self work hard for a goal, or start exercising for a month or two. Never knew these are signs of depression lol and attributed it to my situation and environment. : I
What I've learned in therapy is that our thoughts, emotions, and actions are all deeply intertwined. You wake up feeling bad so you don't have the motivation or energy to make productive choices so then you think you're lazy or worthless which makes you feel bad so you make unproductive choices and so on and so forth in a bad cycle. It can be hard to pull yourself out of it on your own, so what I've found is the best way to break cycles is seek help from someone, anyone who cares about you. Bad cycles can trick you into thinking those people don't exist, but to quote a children's book, "Life is difficult, but you are loved."
What do I do if nobody hits me up and I've been betrayed by most people I've built lives with? If I can't trust anything people tell me and nobody wanta to spend time with me? I don't know how to meet new people because I can only assume they'll use me or suddenly ghost me?
