I need some help. I just can't figure out what is wrong with me. I sleep all the time, i don't want to hang out with freinds anymore i havn't in weeks....i can't even get myslef to do some of my hw ( i am in college) everything thing feels like such a chore for me. My room is a disaster i don't even take a shower every day and i dread going to work. I never used to be like this i was such a social butterfly. I was always doing something and i am very outgoing. How do i get out of this funk that i am in and get my energy back??

(((((Jess))))), does your college have a counseling office?

Jessie,

My worst depression was when I was about your age. Unfortunately, I think depression comes in your late teens and early twenties because of all the change and pressure that occurs during this time. You are constantly coping with "What am I going to do with my future?" "Now that I don't have my parents ordering me about, what do I really want to do with my life? etc. Also, there is so much new responsibility and of course, there is always the perennial problem of romantic relationships.

I am 39 now. From that prespective, I can only tell you it will get better. You will steadily gain more experience and confidence. Alot of your life questions will be answered. I agree with Mary Irish Lady that you should find out if counseling is available at your college. Also go to your primary physician and explain how you are feeling. I wish you the best and hope you realize you can post anytime.

Hugs, Selena
