Hey Olivia,\n  Yes, you do sound depressed (understandable), no you are not happy and no you are not living a normal life.  But the key words in your question were "I hate life but I think it's worth living because every day is different".  That means to me you are a very smart, emotionally balanced and mature young women that is gonna be "okay".  Just remember what is going on is not your fault or responsibility and that as long as you believe every day is different, you have the ability to overcome this and many more obstacles in your life!  You're gonna be okay kid!

I am and have been for several years now. Over the past year, they have switched mine around so much that I have definitely had some of those effects. It depends on the kind though. As long as you keep your doctor informed, take them every day like you are supposed to, and never just drop them cold turkey, you should be ok. \n\nI was always very wired on Welbutrin and oppositly always tired on paxil. You may have to try a couple types before you find one that is perfect for you, but give them a couple months to reach full potency in your system. It is well worth the struggle once you start to feel like you are in control of yourself again! Trust me, I've been depress for almost 15 years now. I finally admitted it and got treatment a couple of years ago and it has made a world of difference. Make sure you have a good therapist to talk to as well. \n\nOff topic, I really like your avatar. I've seen it a couple times and it always stood out!

Keith, you are presenting with the symptoms of Depression.  What you are going through is not your fault and there is help for you.  I believe medication would be beneficial, but I also understand that going to a doctor right now may be more than you are able to manage.  I urge you to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-TALK.  I am truly concerned for you.  You may also e-mail me through Yahoo Answers. Take care and let me know how you are doing.\n\nKeith I wrote my response  to you yesterday evening but I have heard nothing from you.  Are you ok?  Please give an update.

Talk to your doctor if you can.  St. John's Wort is a natural herbal remedy and there are other natural herbs that are supposed to help, I'm not sure if they really do.  I felt the exact same way as you.  I took a couple of different anti-deppresants.  Although I did feel better, I felt apathetic & emotionless, like I didn't care about anything. My school work definitely surfered from it because I just didn't care if I did well or not.  I stopped taking anti-depressants because I would rather feel sad than feel nothing at all.   So antidepressants aren't always the best.  Try an herbal remedy or trying to changes omething in your life (exercise releases natural hormones that make you feel good, or get a fun job, hobby, club, sport - sometimes these things can make a big difference)

Is there a different anti-depressant that you can take to see if it helps? \n\nGive yourself a break on those days if you can. Even acknowledging that you know you may not get as much done takes pressure off and makes it easier.

I have anxiety and I take Lexapro and Xanex for mine. They are the best that I have taken so far. I took Zoloft and Paxil, both made me feel manic and zombie like.

Registered Nurse Here; Well hun, I think most of us feel this way from time to time, however when this starts out numbering the good days.  It would benefit you greatly to see a Physician, your family doctor, he or she, may decide with you to try a medication or they may suggest a psychiatrist.  Not sleeping well and crying spells are two classical symptoms of depression.  I know  your having a hard time, and there is no need for you to suffer to this degree in the era of medication and modern technology, you can be helped and assisted to feel better.  Please seek medical/mental attention,  there is MHMR, or a family practice doctor.  Both of these can put you on the road to recovery.  Thank you for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.  Please seek some help.

You are depressed again. Were you taking meds for your depression and then stop all at once? If so, there is your problem.\n\nI would talk to your doctor, a mild anti depressant might help.

To be honest, all that behavior is very common in people who are clinically depressed.\n\nIt is very hard to get back on track, I know because I have struggled with this in the past as well.  If you try your best to make a conscious effort to get up, go to class, study, eat properly, and exercise everyday and you still count, you may want to consider getting an evaluation through your university or at an outside health professional.  \n\nIf you are positive that this is not it, I would strongly suggest seeing your general physician for some blood work to be done to see what is making you feel so sluggish.
