this summer i went to china to visit my family members, and my dad and i came back home early while my mom and brother stayed there for an extra month because my dad had work and i am going to a summer program at a university.
i got back home 3 days ago and ever since then i have been depressed and i don't know why. i suddenly feel like there's no meaning in my life and i hate being alive. i miss being in china and my mom and brother but i leave early every summer and never have problems so i don't know why i feel this way this time.
i have a summer program at a university and after that i have dance camp which i really do not want to go to because i don't like the team members. i feel like i hate this summer because i have no time to relax and i hate the dance team.
even doing stuff i thought was fun before china like watching tv and getting out of the house now isnt enjoyable to me and i still feel depressed while doing it.
why am i feeling like this and how do i stop being depressed?? this has never happened to me before but my mom suffers from depression too so is it hereditary or something??

Smartone answered Sunday June 21 2009, 10:03 am: That can happen when you have been somewhere, perhaps you loved it and want to know more about the country and it's exciting, to having to come back to the same old, same old. It's a let down. I've had that happen to me after traveling. You're coming back to, what seems to be boring, in comparison. That won't last too long. You just have to get back into the swing of things.
This is life in the adult world. Not everything you do is going to be fun and enjoyable. Some things just need to get done. I'm betting your father feels the same way, but, he knows this is something that just has to be dealt with and he's putting it aside and getting on with life. You will, too. Try not to dwell on it. You may also have jet lag, which can produce depression like symptoms. [ Smartone's advice column | Ask Smartone A Question ]
