Just wondering about this.

I have a friend who sometimes just specifically craves a certain dish from a certain food chain. (Like wicked wings from KFC or something)

Or they suddenly feel like watching a specific show (Like Boston Legal)

How does that work?
I never seem to experience something similar to that.
Is it common to feel like that?

    I’m sorry to hear that. Honestly it seems you are in a bad spot at this moment.
    Depression can take many forms and loosing interest, turning everything dull / gray can be a symptom.
    Hope you can find joy in some little things! There are many things in life that if you notice them - they can brighten up your mood. (Just do not read any news, for real).
    There are good things out there, you might just need to look really hard.
    Maybe start small and start making a list of what good / happy things you saw a day - start with one and eventually you can find more. (There were days when I struggled putting down anything.)

      I think that’s the reason I kinda stopped browsing on reddit and even Lemmy. I don’t really ‘feel’ sad when reading all this news, but I think it still brings me down somehow.

      I don’t really have much people to talk to though, so I still try to ask questions from time to time.

      I think it’s already nice that so many people answered.

        It is easy to feel isolated in today’s world. But you are not alone and all these answers proved it. :)
        There are libraries, table games stores and other places where you can meet new people in real life - a new hobby or volunteering might also help.
