Drained sad tired

Hi guys,

I am usually a really motivated, happy person. however the past week, I have been feeling down for no reason. I literally have been laying in bed 14 hours a day.. no energy.. not wanting to working on my schoolwork or wanting to work out (I usually go for a run and yoga almost everyday) I think to myself "just get up, put a smile on your face and do something!" however it's like my body is stuck laying here, and feeling sad for no reason. It's scaring me because there is no reason for me to be sad.. I thought maybe it's because it's raining and dark outside this past week? Also I usually read a lot. however it's like my concentration is shot.. I can't even read a paragraph anymore.

So strange, and I'm hoping to get over this soon. Has this happened to anyone? Is it normal?

    Sounds like you may be depressed. Like legitimately, clinically depressed.

    However, it could also be something physical, like mono or chronic fatigue syndrome. My advice is that if it doesn't get better within a couple of weeks, talk to both your doctor and a mental health professional....and DON'T feel bad about the thought of it being depression; it's a treatable disorder that lots of people get for no reason whatsoever.

    Good luck, and meanwhile, don't be too hard on yourself. =)

    Get more sunshine perhaps? That or try taking vitamin D capsules or something. You might be surprised.

    You people in the commentsection overrate, the person who wrote this only felt like this for a week. So it's not like chronic depression or something.

    I believe everyone feels sometimes a bit more sad then other days. So I would say it is perfectly normal. I bet that in some days you ll feel better.

    Seek help, go see a doctor and get check up and discuss how you are feeling!

    Yeah for five years. So you should see a doctor.

    I'll echo Amniote with the exception that if you ever get any inkling of suicidal thoughts then to get help immediately. Talk to someone, see a professional, something. Don't feel ashamed. Lots of people experience it but it can and should be corrected. Life really isn't all that bad. It's what you make of it.
