cant snap out of it!

hi everyone-
has anyone ever felt like everything is at a standstill? ive been feeling unhappy, but i dont quite fit the description of depression. i just feel like the true me is inside but its just not shining through! i find that im very hard on myself and my self confidence isnt the greatest lately (whichi guess go hand in hand) but i feel like its really impacting me. i just dont feel quite like myself. im not to the point where i dont want to do things, but when i do things im just not that excited. im dont enjoy things as much as i feel like i should i guess i could say.
part of whats bringing me down is that i'm just not quite where i wanted to be at 25. i wont go into detail but i graduated college with one degree but then went back for another b/c i wasnt happy with my first. im in for nursing now, which i really like but ive just been like in a "lull" tryingt to get to my ultimate goal for so long! there are some other problems too which i wont go off about, but my main concern is just my chronic unhappiness. its like a low level unhappy but i just want to be the true me and im having trouble!
one of my new years resolutions is to work on bringing the true me out, and to be happier but im not sure where to start. i cant get out of this rut. any suggestions or advice?? similar feelings or experiences?

Even though it may not fit the classic description of depression, it sure sounds like depression to me! My recommendation is to see a therapist and/or a psychiatrist if you have not already done so, and get some professional feedback. You shouldn't have to feel like you are.
keep coming back to the board and posting. I have found it to be
peace and love,

I will say what I always say to start in these situations .
