Im a guy I have been depressed for i dont no how long seems like it goes on and off. i keep having obsessive thoughts about fears and things i dont want to be. I become addicted to things and cant concentrate on anything now. I cant cry but when i do, i cant explain why. i feel like i cant control my feelings and thoughts. Whenever i have a fear, my head focuses on that and tortures me with it until i become paranoid. I create fantasies(not sexual) in my head. I cant concentrate anything and have become a bit ADD. Im failing most of my classes too. I dont hang out with many people and am desperate for happiness in any way shape or form. (happiness from having a girlfriend, video games, sleeping, lots of other things) I am also a bit antisocial. I feel im going insane. am i? is it depression? im so confused.

    When im depressed I think of a gang of penguins kicking the shit out of a polar bear or a hive of bees stinging winnie the pooh to death and stealing his honey pot. Im happy now, you should be too.

    Sounds like a possible OCD. It's common for it to go hand in hand with depression. The dark fears and obsessions are a part of OCD, please tell your doctor because its treatable.

    try some St. John's Wart - I know it sounds really strange, but its a herb and you can get it where they sell vitamins - it worked for a lot of people I know.

    **pats your back** i'll make you some hot chocolate. You definately need to tell somebody about this so that they can get you some help. If you need a person to talk to you can even email me.

    Weird. I am going through the same exact thing, sad to admit. After high school ended, I asked the question "Where do I go from here?"

    I have been trying to get my shit together for awhile now, and it's really tough. I've been contemplating on what things I can do, to combat the depression and get my life in order. If it's all too much for you to handle, I'd honestly check out a psychiatrist.

    I know you feel. I had the same problem. These dark, horrorible thoughts used to give me panic attacks & make me hate myself. I've gotten better though. Its an actual disorder, a form of OCD. I don't remember the name but if you Google "obsessive dark thoughts", the name will show up. Itd be best to go to a psychiatrist and tell him. don't be afraid to go, it could reallly help!

    Not insane, just sick. Get a referral to a good psychologist/psychiatrist
