Hi everyone.i dont think im depressed but i have trouble functioning on a daily basis.im generally not upset with my life and i dont have constant negative feelings but i dont think im normal.my problems are; im tired almost all the time.i have a very hard time keeping interested and carrying on conversations with people.i have very little energy and its hard for me to get excited about anything.im not really motivated to do anything.some days i feel great and all i want to do is talk and im very motivated with lots of energy.but most of the time i just feel drained and overall negative and quiet.ive never talked with anyone about these feelings and dont know what i should do.i just want to feel good on a regular basis.

Hello Whistlerbum


I would suggest seeing a therapist and just discussing these feelings with them! Have you lost interest in things you used to care about? Are you sleeping more or less then usual? How is your appetite? We are here to support you! Hope things start looking up! Keep posting I find that helps a lot!

It could be something other than depression. There some illnesses that can be diagnosed to do with constant fatigue so maybe you should consider seeing a doctor about it as they could run some tests to see what is most likely and help you. As a general rule if it's serious enough to have a impact on your normal life as it seems to be for you, you should seek help from a doctor.

I have a friend who has a fatigue related illness so I know abit about them, feel free to PM me whenever if you have any questions and keep me updated.

Thanks for the quick replys guys.i dont think i have a fatigue related problem.im tired alot but i think that could be because im bored alot.anyways.these feeling are not new.ive had them for a while they have just gotten alot worse in the past 3 months.i moved recently and find it very hard to communicate with people.my aunt and my cousin i am living with think i am on antidepressants because im so mellow and passive all the time.i really feel like i have to opposite of adhd.where im just bored and unmotivated all the time. When i talk to people i feel like i have a mental block stopping me from thinking.i used to talk to people and communicate very effectively but now its really hard to even have small talk.my mind just goes blank and i dont know why or how to fix it. But good days when im really happy i wont shut up and feel so much better then i do normally.these good days come maybe once a week...i smoke alot of pot which could be it, but everyone else im around functions fine.im gonna quit for a few weeks and see if that helps but i dont know.

Well everyone knows pot is a great at making people unmotivated. Stopping smoking will only help you feel better.

Yeah drugs and alchohol are only going to make things worse for you in the end! This will be a big step for you, but you will eventualy thank yourself for it! Remember we are always here for you and will listen! Keep us informed.



Thanks!

Stopping the pot should help. Until I read that, I was going to say that it does indeed sound like depression, but the weed can do that also.

Just a BTW, antidepressants don't make you mellow or a zombie or anything like that at all. The just simply take the edge off. Help you see more clearly. I have been on them before and it looks like I may have to go on them again, but I don't think they make me mellow at all. If cutting out the pot doesn't make things better (it may be worse before it's better, it is more addicting than most people think) then see your doc and relate your symptoms and see if a medication makes sense
