I think i might be depresssed

I feel apathetic. I don't really care about my grades,I'm just keeping them up out of habit and this vague notion that I need to get into post-secondary school. I haven't done any of my hobbies for a while. I haven't gone horse-back riding in soooo long even though I used to love it. I just feel like sleeping. That is all I want, to just sleep all of the time but I can't because of my few obligations and just plain biology. I've drifted away from most of my friends. Mostly I just don't like being around them anymore. They seem like an old phase of my life I just want to leave behind. Of those that remain, I hate one (but we have bio together, and go to this thing every month, so I just leave things) and the other isn't really that interested in being my friend. I have yet another vague notion that if I found a group of people I liked I would be a lot happier, but I don't really feel motivated to talk to anyone or make friends. I'm pretty limited to the social prospects of my highschool which aren't too appealing. I just sit in the library at lunch and read fiction because that's all that really seems worth doing anymore (because it's no trouble.)

Is It Normal?

  • I know how you feel and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better, I truly understand. I would strongly advise that you talk to someone about how you are feeling like a family member or a friend (I know you said you don't like your friends but it's just a suggestion). If you don't feel comfortable talking any of them, maybe you could try talking to your school counsellor? Things don't have to be like this; there are people out there who will be more than willing to help you feel better. I know how it feels to be depressed and not want to get out of bed in the morning, I have been feeling that way lately actually but things will get better. What you are feeling maybe nothing major but it is always good to seek support now so that things don't escalate.

    Good luck and take care! :D

      @opener
      i deal with depression, while u do seem to have a milder case then what i used to, much better now :D (or u softened ur post a bit :/) i`d probably look into some help, but that depends on how screwed up ur sleep has gotten(its the only thing i can tell is different when talking to someone who is just a emo and someone actuly dealing with depression)
