I'm currently on the second semester of my second year in the university.

*I wanted to change to another area, but they ask me a very high percentage, which I don't have. That started making me feel crappy.
*I studied hard for a test I already took a year ago. Last year I had a 68D. This time I studied and learned the material. In fact, when we discused the test I thought "Wow, I still remember all this, I bet I had an A"
Bam... F...

I'm usually a very happy/jumpy person. That's the main adjective a friend who really knows me could say.
But lately I've been having so many stuff on me that I forget everything.
Frustration is driving me crazy and I just feel like giving up on everything I mattered before (university, work, friends)
My birthday is next week and I don't even feel like celebrating :/
altho I do want to.

It's like... all I do is EAT whenever I get too frustrated and want to SLEEP all the time. I HATE THIS.
I was fat, I lost 40 pounds about 1/2 year ago... and I already gained 8 punds :/

I feel like s**t, my room is a mess and I don't feel like cleaning, don't feel like asking for help, don't feel. Period.
I feel like I'm a big fat lie of happiness that it's just bored to death of everything in the bottom.


Help/comments/advice?
PS: My college adviser referred me to a psychiatrist, she said it might be some chemical disorder and that a psychologist wont help much.



and BTW... this is the first time in my life i feel like this. I've always said depression is out of my dictionary and I've always been really happy and optimistic.
Even when I dumped my ex, after almost 2 years and being truly in love.

I'm 18, about to turn 19 in a week and I feel just bored and without wanting anything :/






Also, I noticed I'm reflecting some sort of behaviors that make my close close friends think that I'm being a bit too promiscuous.

I never feel motivated for anything, but lust... ah. That's the one thing that can get me back on track for at least a day. >.<

Everything you said exactly describes how I felt at the end of my first semester, 3rd year of college. I felt like I just wanted to give up on school, I just kept eating, not exercising, my room was a mess and I didn't want to really socialize with anybody. I think the main problem was stress. I notice that secondary schools (colleges, universities) put out a lot of stress, as in more demands are made of you.
If you could find someone to talk to about all of it, a friend, family member, counsellor, whoever, that might help a bit. If you have a weekend free of homework, or have just a little bit of homework, try to take as MUCH of that time as possible to just relax. Everyone needs a 'time out' to help keep themselves motivated and on track =)

You could also try cleaning your room even though you don't want to. Personally, if my room isn't clean, I don't feel like doing anything.

*thinks* Oh yeah, in my first semester I was still on my Depo Provera shot which HAD started to give me depression.. I'm off of it now and I feel back to normal. So, it COULD be that, you could always talk to a psychiatrist to see if you do have it or not.

Thanks!!!!
Well, I went to the psychiatrist and she gave me tranquilizers and anti-depressive pills :S


I don't like that... and I don't want to continue them.
She said I present symptoms of an adult's ADD and hyperactivity.


and she said I have depression.


like I said, I don't agree, nor like this diagnose.

If you're not happy with the results, I would go back and discuss why you're not happy about them, and see if there's any other method that you guys can compromise on. Like, you say you think you're not depressed, she says you are, I would ask for all of the signs that you're showing that can diagnose that.
Or maybe if you're a bit inbetween or something, see if there's something that you can take if you start feeling really bad, instead of having to take something all the time.

What about seeing another psychologist and see what they say? If you're not clicking with the one you've seen already, you can try seeing someone else.

Personally to me it sounds like you're depressed, because I've felt many of the things you've described, but obviously I can't diagnose you through the computer or anything. wink
