Don't know if I am depressed or not..help
I started at my college around 3 months ago, leaving my best friends back home. I have made no friends since I've gotten to college and I usually sit in my dorm room by myself all day. I try to make friends, but I just can't (I'm an introvert most of the time). I am lonely, my sleeping patterns have changed (frequent insomnia), I have trouble concentrating, and I don't enjoy activities that I used to before. I also am not enjoying sex anymore with my boyfriend... I'm not sure what to do. I feel like no one understands what I'm going through. Some advice would be great.
Hi slimshady
I had the exact same thing when I first went to university. I found I just wanted to be alone all the time and if I wasnt alone I was up to no good. I used to sleep all the time or not at all. When I was in class or out at the student union I wanted nothing more than to go back to my room and sleep. I didnt know it at the time but these are classic signs of depression.
I also broke up with my boyfriend at the time for no reason which just isolated me more. I would strongly suggest going to get some professional counselling. I found PlusGuidance.com to be really helpful, you can pick your counsellor and you don't have to wait around for ages. After having some counsellingit was recommended that I look into antidepressants and it really did help. I hope this helps.
maybe you shoud go to your doctor and ask after a test for depression
You show symptoms of depression, you should really see a professional!
