whats wrong with me??


Question Posted Saturday January 8 2005, 6:32 pm

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 feel the SAME way..except I do know what I'm missing. But its weird though. I dont get much sleep either that could be a reason and maybe we should just get out and have some fun and get are minds on something. I'm sorry I dont know what to tell you but I hope you come back to your normal self soon. *good luck*

Maybe you should start setting some goals for yourself. I'm going to get to the next belt in Karate, I'm going to make a higher grade in that class I'm doing not so well in. If you do you should feel a bit of achievement and satisfaction with it. It always helps me to set a few goals for myself to make and then I feel a whole lot better about myself and my life. Like, that I'm actually doing something. Initiative is the best healer for an empty life.

I had to respond to this because the way you described yourself is also me.
<p>
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.
<p>
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.
<p>
I hope this helps

Hey there,
I'm just going to post some symptoms of depression and you can see how they relate to your daily life. It's typical for everyone to feel a little "off" at times. But, seriously, if it's becoming a problem, a distraction in your life, others are worried about you etc. Maybe it's worth looking deeper into.
Here are some symptoms:

Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including sex
Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down"
Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain
Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts
Restlessness, irritability
Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain

I would recomend looking at this website too.

I hope I've helped a bit.
Take care and feel free to ask any more questions that you might have.

Omg, I'm exactly like that. Sometimes I wonder if I'm depressed, but I'm really not, because I'm always happy when I'm with friends and stuff. So I don't think you're depressed. It's weird, cuz I feel like something's missing too, but I just can't figure it out. Try talking to your mom about it. Maybe she can help you figure stuff out. You could be stressed out, or maybe you want a bf, like I do, lol. Idk, hope I helped!
