Please see a doctor, you sound like you have depression! I suffered from depression for a few years before seeking help. Getting treatment makes the difference between night and day! Nobody shoud live like that, and there is nothing to be ashamed about getting help for depression. Don't listen to the idiot Tom Cruise types who don't believe that depression is a real illness. The brain is a physical organ that sometimes needs medication too. You have my best wishes for getting the help you need.

Yes sweetie, it does sound like you are suffering from depression. Please take these messages w/your email to the nearest doctor or clinic and get on some type of medication. Also, you MUST get out of the bed and start some kind of exercise. It will release endorphines in your brain and make you feel better. Keep me posted. Much love from someone who has been there.

I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Please don't blame yourself. A lot of the older generation use the word "afflicted" to indicate mental illness, so I'm guessing that would be the problem. Good luck to you Sweetie!

Honey, I've been exactly where you are now.  Please don't be so hard on yourself.  If you are depressed, see a professional, you may need an anti-depressant.  Sometimes the chemicals in your brain just get all messed up and meds can help that.  \n\nThink of how boring and empty the world would be w/o you in it.  No matter how bad things may seem, you were put here on earth for a reason, you just have to figure out why.  And even though life can be extremely hard most of the time, it is still worth fighting for.  Please don't give up yet.  You can feel better.  Your life can be better.  \n\nIf you ever need to talk seriously about this, email me anytime.  I know that I don't know you, but I am a good listener.  Plus, I do know what it's like to feel empty inside. A few weeks in an institution for attempting suicide really opened my eyes.  \n\nSurround yourself with good positive people that love you and keep telling yourself that your life is important.  My email address is on my profile if you need.  Write me anytime.   Take care of yourself and God bless!!!

"Depression: Poor me, what a world, what a way to go, what's the point, I am a dark cloud. Periodically depression and gloom will raise its head; no life is without it and depression as a stage follows no course or order. A treatment plan, medication, support groups, verbal therapy may all help when one is in despair. To fight depression one also needs to be proactive. I'm not telling anyone to walk around with an insipid, plastered-on grin, but to work with mental health professionals and keep your depression at normal levels. Depression can be a sign of acceptance and the possible drive to seek out treatment programs for your own emotional health, so again look at this as a warning sign."\n\ni got this from a site... anyways, i think the paragraph above is an insightful answer already... anyways, i personally think that it would be better if you talk your problems out to someone like a psych. they can even prescribe u with anti-depresants.. think of your access to drugs! haha.. just kiddin'!.. good luck, pal!

I am sure that they will "be funny" again.  Your personality sticks...the depression might alter it a little but they will spring back to normal.  Support them, be there for them.  If this person you are talking about is you, confide in a friend.  It's okay to cry and be depressed for a while.  It might be almost embarrassing to let that vulnerable side show since you/they were always the "funny and happy" one.  Trust me, you will seem even more real and likable when people see your human and have bad days...even if these days last for awhile.  Also, no one is too good to seek professional advice.  I'm not saying run out there and get put on medication, but you might need an extra boost to get back and going..whether it's just medical advice or whatever.  Good Luck.

You need to speak with a psychiatrist. There many drugs on the market for depression.\n\nBut I ask you this, what has been going on in your life? Why are you depressed?

If you have not already sought out help from a mental health professional I stongly suggest you do so.  Depression is extremely common and it can be managed by therapy and/or medications.  Either pinpointing the source through therapy or finding the right medications for you may allow you to enjoy those things you once used to.

I think your suffering from a slight depression i had an attack many years ago and its not something you dismiss very lightly and it comes back in your mind over and over but it does fade away and you will be back to yourself very soon and believe your doctor if he says your OK then accept it and  that heps you to get back on track  Good Luck  it will work out OK for you believe me

Honey, you may have chronic depression. Get to a doctor ASAP and have it checked out. There's no shame in this. Chronic depression almost always happens because of a neurotransmitter (chemical) imbalance, that's not your fault. My spouse had this. You may have to take meds, but they could make you feel normal again. Good luck!

No i don't but i used to when i had depression and you have a classic symptom, go and see your doctor and explain everything about how your feeling, they will be able to help, either with councilling or drugs, try to avoid te drugs though untill you have tried other things, don't be scared or embarrassed though it is a very common problem these days, Good luck

I would go to your primary care physician and be completely honest as you have been here.  It could be depression without your knowing it, it could also be hormonal or loads of other things.  Wouldn't you rather just feel better?  I went, and am so grateful I did.

You need to treat the depression.  You've probably noticed other changes to your health besides the sleeping.\nAt the very least you need to talk to someone close to you, who cares about you & will listen to you - a good positive person.  Best option though would be to talk to your doctor and get professional help.
