does anyone else have these symptoms?

[flex123]

I am always tired. I have trouble sitting at work because my mind is always somewhere else. I obsess over things that bother me in my life. I worry about things in my life. I can never concentrate on things. before this semester ended I couldn't even get myself to sit down and do school work.

I have always known that I have anxiety with people and try to avoid certain people for no reason because I get worried I won't know what to talk about and fear looking dumb by not talking much. This keeps me from being an outgoing person.

I don't know if I just have anxiety or if I suffer from depression. It could be depression because some days I just feel like I hate everything in my life and hopeless about everything. Sundays are usually my worst days but I always thought it was just cause I knew I wouldn't be doing anything on a Sunday night and the next day is the start of another long week.

Whats your evaluation of me based on what I described to you about myself and if you were in my shoes what would you do? (no smartasses that are going to tell me to go kill myself, please

This post sounds exactly like me. I've been feeling like this for the past few years since I got out of high school.

I've been to the doctor but I keep getting 'you're a young healthly guy theres nothing wrong with you'

I don't feel like taking meds so I just deal with it!

First paragraph I can relate to..

Maybe find some more interests and pursue them to decrease the amount of time you are
thinking in this way? At least that is what I have tried to do

you sound like that damn commercial with that depressed little cartoon circle thing. I think he took zoloft and then he was a happy little cartoon circle thing and went bouncing around everywhere and joined up with the normal cartoon circle things.

So Zoloft.

I'm in about same shoes as you are

it's because we focus on it too much

I know what you mean by avoiding people, it happens to me too for some reason but im learning to get over it

as for sundays I had that syndrome when I used to drink heavily during my hs years, my hs was kinda tough so every friday/saturday we would party hard and sunday just sucked cause i had jack shit to do.

its gaids, dude, get tested, your not only hurting yourslef, your also hurting everyone around you

j/k asscheek, go to a doc and tell him about it, he will more than likely prescribe prozac, it works for a lot of people, but people with severe social anxiety/depression disorder valium, zoloft, xanax, or lithium work better, i take all, recreationally of course though

find people who have similar interests as you and spend more time with them, discussing your interests. relax around people, i used to be really introverted, and i am still more intro then extro, but its gotten 1000x better than even 3 yrs ago
