i think im depressed i have troubles falling asleep, waking up, getting motivated, i feel like i can
I think Im depressed and i need advice. I'm 21 one and I've loved the entertainment all my life, but up until about maybe 2 years ago i've had a hard time feel motivated...and now i feel as if i cant accomplish anything, like im just useless...worthless. I have troubles getting to bed and troubles getting out of bed, i have all these feeling of confusing, cant make a decision to save my life and i feel sad all the time like i cant please anyone and that no one understands...maybe this is self pitty but i dont know how to be happy with myself and want to do something with my life. I think i've been in and out of a depression for a few years. i moved away for college and came back home 3 years later and i haven't been the same person i was when i first left. I used to be very passionate about singing, dancing and acting and want to find a way to get that back and to be happy!! Please can someone help me??
Hi, Billy Gene. Glad you found our web site. It does sound like you could be depressed and I'd suggest you find a doctor or therapist to find out if medication might help. It sounds like it started when you moved back home, so maybe there are some issues about that that are bothering you. If you can't figure out what they are, therapy might be helpful. I was in the same boat at one time and got extremely depressed when I came home, decided not to finish college so that I could get a job and afford to move out, which is exactly what I did. It took me two years, but it was like being released from prison - I never looked back. Often times, depression is caused by underlying anger, which we try not to acknowledge or express.
If you need help finding a doctor or therapist, let us know. Hope you're soon feeling better and more energetic. Thanks for writing here.
