What’s wrong with me?

1

I’m not depressed, and i know this because I go to school and I continue to experience occasional happiness.

I usually go to the library after school to do homework. Lately, i’ve finished most of my homework before I got home. When I get home, I feel sluggy and useless. I feel like lying in bed and disappearing so I don’t have to handle life. I enjoy sleeping because I don’t have to be awake. I never want to do anything. My friends bore me. I have nothing to do when I get home. I feel my existence is completely pointless. I feel depressed because every single day of my life is just a cycle of me going to school, not being able to pay attention, and failing all my tests.

I don’t know what’s happening. Why has my passion for life dimmed so much?

You're not alone. I'm in college and I do the same exact things. I wish I can do something instead of this cycle. I mean, it's good to have a cycle to stay organize but it's very boring. So think of something positive. Recently, I thought about rejoining my performing arts club to stay active in my activities. Friends are sometimes bore but once you find an activity you both could do, you will enjoy having them around. Again, you're not alone and you can always talk and I will try my best to keep you active.

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty much the same way. Just stagnant and tired with everything. I've stopped caring about a lot and it's just going downhill.

Okay everyone here... Hate to break it to you... I can't diagnose yet... But you are all displaying symptoms of depression. How do I know? Well one you all describe exactly how I use to feel. And two because I'm going to school for this. Having depression doesn't mean you are constantly sad and never crack a smile. It can come in waves. Or long periods of time broken up between days of happiness. Now just because you are suffering from some degree or another of depression doesn't mean you NEED medication. It can help. But in the end it is the changes you make to your lifestyle that will effect how it all turns out. Your mood can be affected by the weather, the food you eat, the tv shows you watch, the color of your kitchen. Pretty much everything can change your mood. And if I used effect and affect incorrectly I'm sorry. Now I can't help by just spouting a bunch of different stuff it's too specific to each person on what can cause depression. If any or all of you want to private message me... PLEASE DO. I encourage you to! I am here to help! I am here to listen. I will not order you to do that or this... I will make suggestions on what I think could help... but ultimately it is up to you! I really do hope you all contact me and if not me somebody. I wish you all the best.With much love and hope for the future, Lioncourt

Did it ever occur to you that nothing is wrong with you? Maybe being bored means you want more..excitement or variety. I hate to use those words..it could be a bad excuse to not living to our potential. Grr!! Really, will someone hate us if we don't live up to our potential? Ask yourself if you'll be alright with your mediocre performance. Yes, I meant future regrets. Hmm.. kicks self. I have numerous times found myself in this state but it eventually passes. Maybe we all need a good reason to do the things we do. A reason bigger than for ourselves or monetary gain or fame. But when my work doesn't include saving lives, then that risks degrading oneself even with honest work. Then there's another thought that says : you can ask life for meaning all you want, but what if there's none? Is that to drive us into despair that our lives are pointless, or does it beckon us to quit asking for meaning and simply start living?Maybe all there is to it is living in this moment for what it is and making the best of it. Carry on from this moment to the next. As with the "depression", it will pass. Before you know it , you'll be in a better mood. Just carry on.
