I have been having a very strong case of depression for 8 years. And now I can't do shit, I lack all motivation and will to do anything, even things I like.I don't play anymore, I don't study, I skip class, I cut myself from the world,etc. I force myself to do things, but I'm just blocked and spend most of the day doing nothing.does anyone has any advices? I'm on heavy medication and doesn't seem to work, even alcohol and drugs don't too.
Let me guess, you're not the one paying for your school.
lol you kids are everywhere. I live in a college town so I have this talk with my friends on a regular basis. If you don't know what the fuck you are doing and you don't have a reason beyond getting a degree, stop going to fucking college. I don't care if your family will be disappointed. Stop taking that medication, stop doing drugs. I won't be that guy that tells you to meditate, but have a bit of introspection and figure out what you want. Motivation doesn't have to come from higher purpose or goals. It can be as simple as I need to eat. Actually, that is all your life really needs to revolve around is putting food in your stomach. This world we live in complicates things way beyond that, but focusing on eating, sleeping, and staying hydrated is all you really need to do. If that isn't enough, go volunteer somewhere to feed other people or give other people shelter. The basics, friend. Good luck.

I don't really know what you're going through but I'd cancel out on the meds and booze for a while. Try to bring yourself to do certain things like study or go to class because you know it's the right thing to do.
