things aren't right
18/male
i guess i woould start by saying lately i feel like shit. my head just doesn't feel right and by not right i mean i feel like i just did drugs.(i don't do drugs unless perscribed by a doctor) I can't coordinate myself quite right. Just typing this is hard. and either i sleep to much or i can't sleep at all. I used to love playing video games and hanging with my friends, but i just don't feel like doing it anymore. last time i was at the doctors they said i was healthy. I don't know does anybody know about why i may be feeling this way?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
You should take note of your own knowledge of your own health.
Do you exercise regularly?
Do you drink enough pure, clean water?
Are you taking a good vitamin supplement to ensure you have enough nutrients?
Do you eat a lot of processed foods?
Are you using the microwave excessively?
Do you drink a lot of sugary, carbonated beverages?
Are you "going to the bathroom" regularly?
Have you been under a lot of stress lately?
Are you getting between 7 and 9 hours of sleep every night? (What is keeping you up? Something fairly obvious?)
Have you been challenging your mind regularly?
A lot of times you can make small changes to make your body work properly again. Chances are, you're just lacking some nutrients or are a bit dehydrated. Take care of yourself. If you don't feel like exercising make yourself do it anyway--afterwards you tend to feel better anyway.
As humans, we go through spells of depression when we haven't treated our bodies right. Make changes in your daily life and you'll feel better. Sometimes all your body is trying to say is, "HEY! I am tired of french fries, ketchup, and chicken nuggets. Could I get some fruits and vegetables, pleeeease?!"
Check the basics before pushing anything more with your doctors. Make some lifestyle changes and stick with them. If you continue to feel not-yourself after becoming a healthier you then see a doctor and tell them that this is a condition that you would like them to take seriously. Sometimes they don't look too deep if you're young and cannot pinpoint what is "wrong" in the first place.
I hope things look up for you and you find yourself in better health soon :)

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
Have yourself screened for depression. Why? At 18 you could be finishing High School, that’s the end of one phase of life. The next phase of Life be it College, finding a job or contemplating entering the Military is very unsettling.
Frankly this next phase is loaded with a lot of uncertainties. No matter what your choice for this next phase of life is you could be feeling a little overwhelmed and this causes a mild forms of depression.
My advice is as I said above: Have yourself tested for depression. If you are suffering from a mild form of depression it is generally easily corrected with medication. You can contact your local County or State Mental Health Agency for help in finding a clinic for testing.
