Answer 1

hey kiddo---sounds like depression to me. my suggestion is to go either to a psychiatrist or your regular doctor. tell them what you're experiencing. i had feelings like this for a long time. went to my doctor---put it off for a long time---i was ashamed of being so depressed. that was probably the dumbest thing i've ever did. my doc put me on effexor and in a while it worked! the depression was gone!

i was on effexor for about 4 years at varying dosages. sometimes more, sometimes less. i finally got tired of the side effects and with my doctor's permission weaned myself off of it.

now i'm on my own, there are a couple of rough edges here and there---but for the most part i'm glad i'm off the meds. although---if there was an anti-depressant with different side effects, i'd be back on them in a second.

i'm coping with depression now on my own and it takes a lot of my energy. that was one nice thing about the effexor--it eliminated the depression and i didn't have to fight it so hard all the time.

and if the first prescription doesn't work--don't give up. every medicine works differently for every person. effexor doesn't work for some people and others have different side effects from it.

there's help out there. just avail yourself of it.

and don't listen to your mom--she was probably stressed out when she said that.

good luck! if you need to talk more and don't have anyone, feel free to email me. this depression thing CAN be beat!

If I Could Sleep Forever

Answer 3

Wanting to sleep forever is actually a sign of being suicidal. From what you describe, it sounds like you are depressed. Maybe you really should consider seeing a therapist. They can really help you get your life back on track. I had a friend who was also depressed and went to see a phychologist. He is doing so much better today, and he doesn't regret anything. Even if you don't want to see a phsychologist, you should always have a close friend or family member that you can talk to. Doing drugs will not help you in this situation. After the high is over, your life will be the same as it is now, but it will seem worse since you were just feeling great moments ago. It will just lead to a terrible cycle that is hard to break, and can kill you. I know it's so much easier in a way to keep everything bottled up since you don't feel like you're burdening others, but you will feel so much better once you tell someone. Please make the right decision; you could have such a great life. Do not listen to your mother. It might be hard, but don't let what she says get to you. God bless you.

In the last 4 months or so I've been hospitalized 2 and put on at least 6 different medications trying to find a way to not feel so alone and depressed but so far the only thing i've found is talking to people online who know what i'm going through writing in my journal and deep breathing I hope you find a light

Answer 7

I hate that feeling. Sometimes I just wish I would fall asleep and never wake up. Like theres no point in even moving at all. Find something to live for, ANYTHING. Maybe a young relative or one of your friends? anything at all. There must me someone or something you care about at least a little. Live for it. Look ahead into the future, maybe it'll get better over time. After all, exept for death and paying taxes everything in life is only for now.

Answer 8

Your not alone, I'm going through the same thing. I'm getting some counseling to see if it will help. That's good that you are not suicidal. Suicide is not the answer. Another thing I was thinking of is volunteering at a hospital or something,help people. I know it's tough. Good luck an God Bless. ^j^
