I've been having some issues

I've lost all aspirations. I've stopped talking to all who used to call me friend. I've not slept more than 3 hours at a time in over 6 months. I've lost all appetite. my favorite foods now disgust me. I've been getting frighteningly angry over very trivial things. I have no desires anymore, other than to find some sort of happiness. I fear things will not get any better. what should i do?

    get a cat. Ive been through minor depression ( it wasnt quite as bad as you've got it) and I found that animals really do help. Try new things or convert to Taoism. Taoism is a religion where you attempt to become one with nature... sounds voodoo- i know. but its a very solitary practice, cause sometimes when you're trying to make something better, it only gets worse. Thats what i found out when i was trying to be happy again. I tryed to be around people, but nothing worked.. so i spent time alone focusing on one thing.... Its really cool.

    P.S. - sorry if you're like, a hard-core christian... I dont mean to offend any other religion when i say Taoism is kick-ass.

    Try Wellbutrin and Yoga. Alternately, find religion.

    I get depressed when I have occasional terrible things happen to me, and what you are describing is depression. Something bad has to happen for me to get depressed, but once I'm depressed I don't care about anything and I just want to fall asleep and never wake up again. Eventually I cheer up again. If you have clinical, chemical depression, go to the doctor asap if you haven't already...

    I don't find the food disgusting, but the people & the company itself.. Horrible stuff.

    You need to see a psychologist. Or you can simply either 1. try to change your current view of life which is making you feel depressed. 2. find out what you are depressed with in the first place and see if you can sort it out. Actually none of those two are easy but you have to try

    Its normal ur just depressed its totally normal. Therapy and perhaps medicine perscribed by a psychiatrist it works for me but not for some people if your one or those people try exercise religion maybe vitamins fish oil helps with depresion some foods can help blueberries are a start do research ur options are great there is help you just have to find what works for u try not to surround yourself with depressing people,music,media.... :) Medicine and therapy mixed with the other suggestion works best. I believe half or more than half americans suffer with depression. It is perfectly Normal. :) have a nice day!

    You sound like you are in a depressed state, I have depression and there is nothing wrong with it. If it is not the blues where you feel better after a few days then please go see a psychiatrist. What people dont understand is that with the world we live in the chemicals ect..we have things in our brains called seritonin and if that is depleted that is what is giving you the down feeling. There is nothing wrong with taking meds heck I take 5 different ones until we got them right and Im glad I did. Dont ever let anyone try to make you feel bad for needing to take meds, it would be the same as if you had cancer would you not take the treatment because people would make fun of you, Ithink not go and see Good Luck!

    Those are severe signs of depression.
    I have been having similar issues lately as well. Maybe we both need to seek a doctors advice.

    you have almost all the symptoms of depression. talk to a professional about it. a lot of people feel like this (like me), so you're really not alone!

    You ARE depressed. Depression is not a feeling it is a problem with the chemicals in your brain.
    Tell someone you need to see the doctor and make them promise to take you whether you are willing or not.
    This is SERIOUS, life-threatingly serious.
    Do not walk, RUN!

    You should go see a doctor, it looks as if you are depressed.

    First of all I think that maybe you should speak to someone about the issues you are having, you might just realise that they are relating to something totally different than you think. Find someone you trust and talk to them, a parent, a sibling, another family memeber.And secondly, maybe getting away on a holiday for just a few days might help.
    I'm no doctor but the sleeping thing is probably making things a lot worse, I would suggest in this case is go to your family doctor and tell them the situation maybe there is some medication that you can take. Lack of sleep can lead to anxiety and that can lead to depression. Hope it all works out for you!
