Depression and loss of interest?!


Question: Depression and loss of interest?
I'm 17. I'm on Prozac. I go from like happy and regular to just suddenly depressed. I have no interest in anything anymore. I have excuses to not hang out with friends because I just don't want to do anything. Is rather just nap or read a book.
I don't want to go to classes and I ditch even if I like the class. When i don't do things though I feel even worse about myself for not doing it and being so lame. What do I do?

Fake it till ya make it, Tia. There are a gozillian things I do that I don't feel like doing, but I do them because I think about the future consequences, to include how bad I'll feel later when inaction has bitten me on the butt.

The idea is to just do the behavior, and let your attitude change as you go. You don't want to go to class, you push yourself, and after the day is done, you feel good that something was accomplished. Compare that to waiting a couple weeks before "feeling like going" and then attending school, being hopelessly behind, with hostile teachers and parents breathing down your neck. See, in the second scenario, you can't win. If you know this already, just do the first scenario.

That Prozac should work soon enough, assuming it's really depression and you have the correct dosage. Have a good one now!



um well keep on going u will feel better, if u lay around you will feel worse.
um well try lite yoga from you tube, and guided imagery on you tube might help you?
and reiki and charka videos.. all helpful ones, and well you can go for walks,
if u want to clears head for one hour walks. some place safe with friend...
and you need 30 mins of sun every day, not just through windows in your house...

Do you feel like you even need the Prozac? I'm not your doctor but I hear a lot of stories about people being depressed and taking a medication for it which only made them even more depressed. some have even driven themselves to suicide....find out what really makes you happy find some remedies: sports, singing and dancing like a performer (that's me lol) and hey look don't you enjoy the spring and summer when you can be out enjoying the weather? those seasons are right around the corner...just don't hurt yourself and you will find joy in something.how about being on yahoo answers? sometimes when i feel depressed i get on here and look at other people's problems and answer them and i feel better. it kinda makes me feel special to be giving others advice and i feel better when it seems like i am a help. ive been depressed and have suffered two anxiety attacks (one being near death) and the Lord above helped me through my hardships and is still doing so to this day (hope that's not offensive to your religion if you have a specific kind). my mom suffered depression as a young teenager and was on Prozac too....she threw them away one day and said she would never take them again and today she is an owner of a healthcare business of seven years and still growing...a family member of mine was depressed and continued to take her medication and one day she just hung herself...please don't ever go that route, you are so young and no matter what your background, you have a lot to live for so don't worry you will find happiness and if you can, see how you feel without the medication... hope i helped
