ok. this is an area i know very well. my mother is bi-polar and i have pretty bad depression. when i broke my ankle (basically folded it in half and had my toes pointing backwards) i fell deep into depression. i slept ALL day, i couldnt stop eating (some people with depression go the opposite and stop eating), i stopped going out, ditched all my friends, i even stopped spending time with my family, i had NO motivation AT ALL. i was a mess.
i decided that it was time for a change. so i went to the doc and they told me i needed to be on meds. so after switching 3 times they finally got me right. but depression can hit you bad and the signs i listed above are the ones to look out for.
what you describe could be, if it has been going on long is mono. sucks you dont have insurance but you should go to the doc or a walk in clinic and see what they will charge for a visit and i would go. dont let it go too long because if it is something major, you want to catch it quick.
good luck bro, i hope this helps.

it is when you feel like your sick all the time. like a head cold that just wont go away. a friend of mine had it. i worked with her and she was always complaining of being sick. turns out she had mono. i got scared because we would share a cup of coffee together every other morning. she always went to starbucks and would give me sips. i ran to the doc and got checked. thats the last thing i needed was to come down with mono and try to explain it to my wife. they call it "the kissing desease". most people contracted it from kissing an infected person. but like i said, try to find a walk in clinic that doesnt charge too much and have your bloodwork done. thats all i can say really.

Mononucleosis is an infectious viral disease that is easily transmitted. Typical symptoms are swollen 'glands', possibly including the spleen; a really awful sore throat and high fever. Leaves the patient weak, exhausted, "drained" for as long as a couple of months. It's viral, which means antibiotics do nothing for it -- treatment is bed rest and isolation. Very common in college freshmen, away from home for the first time and mixing with a far wider variety of people.
It's also known as Epstein-Barr, especially if it doesn't go away after that one acute episode. (E-B is supected in "chronic fatigue syndrome" but the jury is still out on that one.)

Naw, just the voice of experience. It took six weeks out of my sophomore year... four days of feeling as though my bed was a rowboat, the fever was that bad. Not fun.buffer1 said:we should call you DR. Digger,lol,good post
But damn, the girl who gave it to me was beautiful.

searching the internet is not going to help you with finding out if you are depressed or not.. the symptoms are SO vague you need to seek professional help.. treat it early as for it only gets deeper and deeper.. a good thing is you are going to the gym so you definately are not deeply depressed.. i have been working with a pychologist for almost 3 years now and i've seen lots of shit so i STRONGLY advise you to seek professional help and maybe get on an anti anxiety pill or anti depressant something that isn't dependant!
well no i was just wondering if that happens to some of tyou as well...a million thoughts racing through your mind that you cant fall asleep....ive been tested for depression like 4 years ago (i was depressed) but with age i got over it...

thats not what i meant.. i meant people that are deeply depressed don't go to the gym they lack motivation.. and the pills do work.. ive been on them and they helped me A LOT!
sorry, NS, didn't mean to minimize your situation. depression does = lack of motivation, inspiration, enthusiasm, lust for life or anything considered fun. you find a nice safe place and stay there, like i did for the last XX years.......glad to see you're doing well.nutsnack said:

is that sarcasm?
what meds were you on? most of them take a long while before they kick in.. you should definately try them.. i went into a deep deep depression when my best friend was killed in iraq and got on some shit and took about 3-4 months but they really helped me

depression can be angst based in which there is anxiety and insomnianutsnack said:
and then there is the depression that is characterized by malaise and sleeping too much
people who haven't suffered either usually associate "depression" with the latter

depression for me has always meant "What's the point?".
I've noticed in this last year "lack of motivation, inspiration, enthusiasm, lust for life or anything considered fun" all of this.
Today it hit me hard, I just kept thinkin that there's nothing good in my life(when there actually really is).
