Yet another 'I'm depressed' thread.

I can't seem to get out of bed easily these days and I am spending my time doing absolutely nothing. It feels strange to be around people now, I mean I am naturally sociable but now when I'm in university (only two days a week) and talk to people I feel like I'm not really completely there. A bit...spaced out I suppose...but I know I put on a good act. I do have friends here.

I feel completely alone even though I do have at least one conversation a day. I just don't have any interest or enjoyment in anything. I haven't done any work for my course for ages and it is postraduate. It's coming to the crunch time and I just haven't got the will to move.

I tried to get counselling but was put on a waiting list and have been fobbed off when I chased up. I need to ring again though.

There isn't enough time for me to be feeling like this. It's literally a matter of working right now or failing miserably. I just can't get myself going.

Also I can't get over someone who dumped me. I moved to the other end of the country and live with housemates I never see.

I just want to feel normal but I have been depressed for so long I'm not sure it's possible.

I think it was just good to type this but any advice offered will be appreciated.

You sound a lot like me. I am not depressed in the clinical sense, but I don't feel particularly motivated which isn't helped by the fact that my social life is non-existant. My life seems to revolve around the internet and watching TV. Now that Uni is almost done, guess what I'll be doing all summer? ai ai ai... :s-smilie:

Is it possible to see the counselling service at your uni, as i would have thought they would be able to see you on quite short notice if you explain to them how you are feeling. It may be a step int he right direction, to talk to them before you see the counsellor your waiting for.

Its sounds like your not having a great time atm, maybe try and be more positive about things if you can, i know its not easy but in the short term it could be helful for your uni course etc.

Everyone is depressed at some point in their life. You just have to keep going.

Indeed. There's no point giving up, just grab hold of life with all you've got and keep pushing on. It's hard, but you can do it.

You're right. It's like I have lost my fight.... I'm really out of sync with my own mind. It's not that I'm crazy (well I hope not) I haven't lost my understanding of reality it's just it's all sort of foggy and I feel unattached. It's worse than just feeling bad about something I just am floating in malaise? I don't know I think that's the best way to describe it. I don't feel emotion really, except maybe anxiety sometimes.

I do want to get my degree though I know it's for the best.
