I'm so tired....so detached....so sleepy....so passive....so don't give a shit...so not focused....so can't concentrate...so can't keep my eyes open....so scared...so unmotivated....so sick of this....so, what do I do?

I don't have much advice that you won't have heard before. All I can say is that I know how you feel - I've just had 5 weeks of solid revising, exams and not much else which hasn't made me feel too great.

Keep going, you've got a long summer ahead to enjoy in which you might get better, and don't lost sight of how, at least judging from other recent posts, you've been feeling good some of the time.

I'm sure you've heard all this before, just thought I'd chime in with a little support since there's not much else I can do.

Take care,
Monkeydust.

Thanks Monkey...You're right I have heard it all before and as many times as I have felt like this, I surely never, ever, ever get used to it! It actually seems even more horrific each time it comes back. Just don't know what to do.

hang in there,, I know about the can't stay focused, I like half hear conversations when people are talking to me, I really have to pay close attention or I am lost...... We are all pulling for each other... And some are finding there way out, So we can to.. I got to believe that we can. People have told us how, Janine adn others, some have used meds, some didn't but the point is there is hope, others have done it. We can too. Just keep trying to do the things that the succesful people have done. Practice makes perfect. Don't quit,,, don't give up.... you know the real you and who you were before this crap.... I know you will be there again..... I am going to make man.... you come too.

Thanks for the comments. I just don't know anymore. How pitiful is it that I am a 25 year old kid and after work today I am just gonna go home and sleep. I could probably sleep all evening and all night and that's just sad. I'm so tired of being detached and trying to fight through it. I'm tired of people telling me I look so healthy when I am hurting so bad. I just want to FEEL healthy. I'm so tired of battling depression. I am losing energy. My mind is exhausted, yet it never gets a break.

Hey, you are going to be fine, Yes your mind is tired, and yes it feels like sleep is the way out, but we can't sleep this life away, even if it sucks for now. It is a good thing that you have a healthy body, use that healthy body to help get your mind healthy. Are you doing any prescripts for the depression? Somebody turned me on to some things... Flax Seed , grind it yourself in a coffee ginder put over your salad or drink in a glass of juice, as well as b complex and b6 100 mg... I haven't done good on meds, but I have started to feel calmer and less irritable, less depressed. I am not recovered yet ,, but I am feeling a difference.. I am also hitting a tread mill 1 - 2 times a week,, it's not much but a start and I am 47 so I am not so athletic anymore... In less there is a sport for having a couple of beers now and then..... But listen... I am so sorry you are down like this, but don't quit, no matter how tired you get... try something anything to distract. Each time you are succesful it will help reset your mind. You are 25 ,, and you have a lot of life to live , find something that you used to enjoy and try it.... try to let yourself go , you won't go crazy I promise.... just claim each little victory because you will have victory..

I am physically and mentally tired too. Not all the time, and not at the same intensity. I find that whenever I am doing something that interests me, all my tirement goes away.

So I think that it's something in the mind. Don't know if it's the same for you.

Well, I didn't come home and sleep my evening away. It's like each day when I am at work and bored, I'm like, "As soon as I get home I'm gonna sleep the night away"

But, instead I went and worked out right from work. Made me feel a little better. If only I could learn how to feel a little better at work.
