This is a serious problem. I am not enjoying anything anymore. I'm losing my sense of humor. Despite being lonely and tired, I used to always be able to cheer myself up temporarily by pulling some sort of practical joke, or just trying to find something enjoyable to watch. It has not been working recently. Every morning I just don't want to wake up. What should I do?

not enjoying things that you used to enjoy is a symptom of depression.

i think you should seek a professional's advice.

Anhedonia, tiredness, dreading everyday activities...

Seek professional help, in case you are suffering from depression. If that is the case, it's best to act as quickly as possible to do something about it, and the first step in doing that is to seek out help.

One word my friend "SATIRE"! It's the ultimite Sense of Humor in order to laugh at the world! It's worked for me! Try looking up some Satire comics. Check out some of Matt Groening's Life in Hell or Robert Crumb or Comics from National Lampoon, or even South Park! Satire is a great artform, unfortunatly when you use it, people might get offended but you need to not worry about them, you just need to brush them off and laugh at them too! LOL ;)
