I haven't been myself lately. And I don't know why. Ugh, I just feel like.. I'm not here, or something.. you know? My friends have noticed, my family... even this lady I take karate with asked me today if I was okay. I can't figure this out. Could I be depressed? I mean, I'm happy about a lot of things. But my life just seems so empty. Like it's missing something.. I donno. Maybe I'm just always tired. I DO need more sleep. And more exercise. Maybe that's why I haven't been myself... I donno.. What do u all think?? Help!!

I had to respond to this because the way you described yourself is also me.

I had the same feelings, like there was a void in my life. I'd have alot of energy and then all of a sudden i'd go into this tired state, i started having emotional breakdowns, crying over dumb stuff. Not eating, and then a week later doing nothin but eating. I'll stop sleeping, and then all i do is sleep. I recently found out that i have a minor case of bipolarism II.

If it becomes a real issue, u should talk to someone. Your counselor maybe, or if your school has a psychology class maybe u can talk to your teacher. Your parents could probably help better than anyone. You need to get your feelings out in the open, dont keep them bottled up. Cuz that will only make you feel worse. Try to stay active, do things that you love to do.

I hope this helps
