I'm tired, just exhausted, trying to work so hard to make my life bearable, I'm depressed and piss off to just be "living". Get up, feed yourself, sleep, do groceries, laundry.
God, I don't know what to say, I'm just tired

If you a student, I think some schools have health services such as counselors to talk to or other professionals. I would be wary of taking any specific advice from strangers on the web though (Yes I know this statement is hypocritical given the next statements).

Or even if not available having real people to talk to might help.

You could always try and learn a new skill or exercise.

If you're feeling depressed to the point that it's hampering how you live, yes, counseling is probably a good idea.

Also, if you can, it might be good to take some time to do something that makes you feel energized. Whether that's going to a concert, being with friends, taking time to yourself, taking up a new hobby, etc.

I'm not quite following, is it the act of working towards happiness that leaves you feeling drained? Or that it feels like work trying to find happiness in things others' definitions of happiness?

This was a saying I used to use a lot. I would tell family and friends "I'm tired" and the response I got was almost never helpful, because it amounted to "Well if you're tired, just take a nap!"

What I meant when I said "I'm tired" was "I feel so emotionally exhausted and helpless that it's making me physically exhausted!"

I was in a situation where a friend of mine depended on me for basically everything, I was unaware of the immense toll that was taking on me. When the shit hit the fan, I checked myself into therapy, which actually didn't much help the situation because my depression was caused by external factors. Eventually I came to my own sad conclusion that I must stop helping my friend, I felt better, was able to heal and ironically enough, my friend got better as well.

What is your situation, would you say external factors are causing you stress? If that is the case, I would recommend taking a break to recover your strength. Sometimes we just really need a vacation. If there's a stress that's unnecessary, you may need to consider cutting it out. Give yourself time to rest, afterward, do something that you wouldn't normally do, preferably something that involves a fairly safe adrenaline rush such as riding a roller coaster, if that's not possible try getting out into the sun, go hiking.

Well Its kinda hard to explain and understand, it just I feel like it require a lot of work to obtain a small dose of happiness and every times it feels like its require more and more "work" to obtain the same amount

What is your situation, would you say external factors are causing you stress? I would guess its just unsatisfactory of my general life, emotional loneliness, not having enough general challenge in my work, not happy with myself as in random body problem and not feeling I am "good" looking enough.

And not sure why, but it just that I don't feel like doing anything besides what I already do, nothing seem to interest me or captivate my motivation more than few minute

I could certainly be reading this wrong, but it sounds like you're routine dulls the excitement of accomplishing something, while dragging enough to feel more and more like work while you're doing it. I.e. it's exciting to weave a basket you can be proud of for the first time, but the twentieth basket brings less of a sense of accomplishment while the process of making that basket becomes monotonous.

Out of curiosity, how often do you take to reenergize? The time when you last felt refreshed. Accomplishing that can be different for everyone, but if it's not happening that can suck the energy from doing routine and new things.

I'm not sure what you mean by this question.
I can't really take vacation or what not, don't have money and I have to work for it, thought, again, I'm tired to work, I always feel like I want something new, this job I have, I know I love it, but it became monotonous and feel like I'm getting sick of the "monotony". Damn it....

I find that vacation is usually the opposite of reenergizing. Lot of work and planning, and feel relieved going back to work to recuperate from it.

What I mean by reenergizing is doing something that makes you feel refreshed. It could be as simple as going out with friends, taking a long hot shower, meditating, a short morning jog, or just vegging in front of the television. Something that clears your head and leaves you feeling relaxed, or however it is that extroverts feel after being around people they like. It could be as little as 5 minutes a day, just so long as it's time for yourself.

As far as your job goes, try to remember why you love it. If there's something about it that excites(ed) you, perhaps there's a way to reapproach it in a way that breaks the monotony.

Not sure what can regerate my energy, nothing seem to fill me enough.
As for my job, that the trouble, what I used to love seem to slowly dissapear because I feel like I am underpayed and I underchallenged, its not that I hate it, but its kinda challenging to be challenged (how ironic)
