Question Posted Saturday February 20 2010, 3:46 am
so im not sure if i have depression but i really do think soemthing is wrong with me.
i feel nothing.like i feel emotionless from inside.
i fins it soo hard to fall asleep.even if im really exausted it will still take me 3hours to fall asleep and when i wake up im always tired.even if iv slept for 12hours ill wake up and an hour later ill feel like going to sleep again.i feel soo drained through out the day.i can feel it in my eyes too.i feel that theyr droopy and tired too.
i feel like i really need to do something really exciting like bunge jump or sky dive because nothing interestst me anymore.
i use to be one of the most exctiing people out there that always smiles and always wants to do things that are out of the ordinary but now i feel soo bored with myself.iv changed soo much.i feel nothing inside me.no emotion.im numb.
i got this forward email the other day about 4 men thnat abducted a little girl to eat her flesh.in the email they attached photos of this girl(while she was dead) her head was cut off and her meat was shaved off and the site would look really horrifying to people but i felt nothing.i wanted to feel empathy or sympathy for the family,for the parents but nothing!
im not even motivated in my teaching career which is something i use to realllly love.it was the only thing that could make me most happy but nnow i do it because its my job.
whats wrong with me?do i need to go to a doctor or does this sound normal?
i just need to hear soemthing,anything.am i sick?depressed?or over reacting..
thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Health? emilward answered Sunday February 21 2010, 12:58 pm: Both me and by brother have suffered deppression, and he was brave enough to let people know and now he's alot better - but because I was worried about upsetting my Mum if she thought I was depressed to, I never told her. And it did me no good.
Everymorning, along with my make-up I had to put on the happy face of the person I used to be, and I would come home and face a spiral of self deprecation.
Time heals it, but it's best to get help now - so you can be the person you were again.

What you are feeling is not normal and to me (an untrained person) what you are describing are symptoms that could be associated with depression. There are many ways to treat depression today and you don't have to live like this. See a doctor. And if he/she prescribes you meds, take them. If they don't seem to work, go back and tell the doctor, because there are many out there and some work for some people, while others are better for some people. The first thing is to make that call to get an appointment. Please do it. [ ellen537's advice column | Ask ellen537 A Question ]
