Answer 1

If it's impairing your ability to function in daily life, then don't hesitate about speaking with your doctor. You may need to talk with someone like a therapist or take medications until you are well again. It may just be that you need to make some lifestyle adjustments. But this is a great first step to solving your problem. Asking questions and seeking help is the best thing you can do for you and your family.

If you go to a psychiatrist, then yes they will probably diagnose you with a mental illness. However, I hope you listen to what I say here because psychiatric illnesses are false labels and the drugs that they will prescribe you are toxic. There is no blood test or any other type of objective test used to diagnose mental illnesses. Instead, psychiatrists use the Dianostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesse, a discredited book which has vague and ill defined criteria that can be used to label practically anyone "mentally ill."

In fact, do you know how psychiatrists get their diseases? They just propose them at their conventions and they vote "All in favor of naming this a disease say aye" and then its an "official" disease. Not too scientific, huh?

Here is what you should do. You may indeed have something wrong with you that could be causing all these problems. You have to look for the root cause of it. Go to a good medical doctor who deals with these types of problems. They can test you and see if you have enough vitamins, amino acids, hormones or other such essentials. Then they can give you supplements to correct your problems. Here's an awesome website where you can find doctors who deal with apparently mental problems naturally: http://www.alternativementalhealth.com It's run by an organization named "Safe Harbor" Go to the "Find a Practitioner" link. Good luck.

And while you're doing research, educate yourself about psychiatry so you don't get mixed up with a quack: http://www.cchr.org CCHR is a human rights organization that works for psychiatric reform.

How old are you? If you are a gentleman entering late 40's or 50's you could be suffering from a condition called Andropause. Search Wikepedia and you will find info on it. Good luck
Here's a snipet from Wikepedia:

Andropause is a medical phenomenon, similar to the female menopause, that can affect men between the ages of 40 and 55. Unlike women, men do not have a clear-cut signpost such as the cessation of menstruation to mark this transition. Both, however, are distinguished by a drop in hormone levels. Estrogen in the female, testosterone in the male. The bodily changes occur very gradually in men and may be accompanied by changes in attitudes and moods, fatigue, a loss of energy, sex drive and physical agility.
Studies show that this decline in testosterone can put men at risk for other health problems such as heart disease and weak bones.
Unlike menopause, which generally occurs in women during their mid-forties to mid-fifties, men's "transition" may be much more gradual and expand over many decades. Attitude, psychological stress, alcohol, injuries or surgery, medications, obesity and infections can contribute to its onset.
Although with age, a decline in testosterone levels will occur in virtually all men, there is no way of predicting who will experience andropausal symptoms of sufficient severity to seek medical help. Neither is it predictable at what age symptoms will occur in a particular individual. Each man's symptoms may be also different.

Answer 5

I'm so sorry to hear of your situation. I don't really have an answer for your condition. I do something similar to that, but mine is depression from being hurt so badly from emotional abuse.....I've died inside and don't care anymore so if I drift off I don't see that its a bad thing... You should see your Dr. I did and I'm still not getting better as I saw something that sent me in to darkness forever........

Answer 6

Well most "serious mental health problems" don't' come with this kind of awareness, so no. lol
Write things down that you want to do.
Exercising creates more endorphins and that will help elevate your mood, etc...
Try to remember a hobby or sport you liked when you were younger and start investing in it.
It's your life, you only get one, live it while you can.

Answer 7

One part sounds like daydreaming, the other part sounds like borderline depression. The classic symptoms of depression are: extreme sadness for no apparent reason, feelings of helplessness, poor eating and sleeping habits, and a certain irrationality in response to others. You sound more bored and upset than depressed.

Answer 8

I think maybe you should go see a doctor and explain what is going on with you, it is always best to get the advise of a professional in situations like this, when your not sure!!!

Answer 9

You don't mention what you feel during this period of time..If it makes you feel good or bad.. This would be the more important aspect of your question if you wanted an answer.
