Is this depression? Whats wrong with me?!
Question: I feel alone, even though I am not.
My body is tired but my head isn't.
I have thoughts I can't seem to shake.
I need something to look forward to or my life seems aimless.
I don't really feel sad, just even-keel.
When I 'm away I want to be home.
When I'm at home I want to be someplace else.
Silence and being alone really bothers me.
I feel like I have to talk or be around people to distract me from my thoughts.
I know this is pretty much all in my head but I can't seem to go back to normal.
Changes in routine make me anxious. (during the evening)
I have anxiety about not being able to fall asleep and if my evening routine changes. I have convienced myself that I won't be able to sleep.....

It sounds like you have a good idea of the things in your life that are symptoms of depression. Deffinantely see your doctor and bring this list. It sounds like depression. Don't worry though. Not everyone is clinically depressed which means they need anti-depressants forever. Some people have bouts for a year or two and have to take some medicine but it doesn't mean that you've become a shadow of your former self. You're there you're just getting help in a down time. Good luck. Things will get better.
It sounds like depressive anxiety disorder. Please see a doctor about this at once. You will feel better in no time. There is treatment available for you. Good luck and God Bless. There is a rainbow awaiting you!
Yes my Dear depression it is, go see your Kwack for some muti. There is very good stuff on the market even with out a prescription. Do get help soon, it will not go away by itself.
Seek help. Talk to a doctor (tell him these symptoms).
I am not a doctor but in your case I would not push this to this to the side. i think you need someone to talk to and relate to. See somebody you trust. and if u feel comfortable with talking to a doctor then more power to you. I don't know what you are going through. But by reading this you are obviously asking for help. And there is always someone to ask. It is just in matter if you are willing to listen. so i hope that u feel better and that you sadness goes away. Always smile and live life to its fullest.
volunteer somewhere and do something to help others, the number 1 cause of depression is being self centered. I know that sounds mean but really if you think about it, everything boils down to this(my problems, my heart ahce, my bills, my phobias, my lack, my needs(me me me me me)
I have, I am , I want, I feel, I I I I
so to get rid of these problems take the focus off yourself
place it on someone who is less fortunate who could use a friend. If you don't want to volunteer then educate yourself, go back to school and fill your down and lonely times with study. I have been thinking about taking a Paramedic coarse just so I will have the skills to help people in case we have another NAtional disaster like Katrina, Maybe I will join the Red Cross
When you do these things your mind will be renewed.
I once heard a story on the news that a man was so depresssed he wanted to die, so he decided he was gonna run on a treadmill everyday as fast and hard as he could inn hopes he would have a heart attack. Well a week later the man said he never felt better in his life and realized that the excersice cleared his head and stimulated his body. HE has lost all his death thoughts and is very happy. TRUE STORY
If more doctors would realize this many patients would be cured.
I know this first hand because my mother is mentally ill so the doctors say. They started her on one drug and when that didnt do the trick they put her on more. Her med bills are over $300 a month. They only thing she thinks about is herself
ME, MYSELF and I) she is so drowned into herself and medicated that the mental illness is just eating her brain away
Lastly:
Not sure if your believe in God\
But when things get real bad prayer does wonders
ASk God for his help (it really works)
I suggest to talk to a Christian Pastor
Hope everything works out
How old are you? When did you start feeling this way?
