im so sad and i dont know why.
i have no drive to do homework, go out with my friends, talk to people on the phone or even online.

starting yesterday morning all i have pretty much done is lay in bed, get up go on the computer for 10-15 minutes at a time then go back to bed.

i have a huge calculus test on weds i know i am in trouble for but everytime i sit down to do some work, i cant concentrate
i sit here, feeling guilty for not doing homework, feeling guilty because i am ignoring my friends, ignoring my family (during a holiday no less...), i want to do things but i just feel like i dont have the energy or motivation.

all week i was so pumped about oktoberfesting last night, but instead i opted for going to bed early. my friends called me today with crazy stories and how i should have went. but i dont care. i dont care that i missed out on all the funny and crazy things that happened, i dont care that people missed me, i dont care about anything about being sad.

...and i know im the biggest pusher of "unhappy? then quit whining about it and do something about what you're sad about" but i just cant seem to concentrate on anything for that long, i try to get dressed so i can go for a run cuz i know that will make me feel a bit better but i put my shorts on and then think about how i dont feel like going outside cuz its sunny and how i'll just get sweatty and how all the people driving by will make fun of me running down the street. i get out my calculus book and then i think about how i did really badly on the last assignment and i just start crying.


and then i get mad at myself for being this sad and sitting here wallowing in self pity... for gods sake, i am 21 years old, i am too old for this teen-angst garbage.

if you get rid of your friends you will have less things to feel guilty about.

You are depressed, but I would seek professional advice. That's how I felt my second year of college. Prozak is your friend.

oh btw, when people drive by and yell things, don't worry.... we just do it because we're bored, nothing to do with you.

been there, done that.

might sound cliche but only way to get out of it is to stop thinking and just swallow hard and do it.

anyway, your too cute to be depressed :p

Do you feel this way often? Is it seasonal (if so it could be SAD's......... Seasonal Affective Disorder.......... in which case sunlight is good for you.)? Hope you feel better soon.

Cheers,

I think almost everyone has felt like that at ONE point in there life...

And I think everyone who has would agree on one thing.. nothing is going to change unless YOU change it.

Everytime you get the urge to say "I don't want to do _____" FORCE yourself to do it.

Good luck bro.

Where the hell does that happen?

I suggest you read The Catcher In The Rye.
