i feel like the girl in taylor swift's "tied together with a smile." i'm falling apart on the inside and no one knows, because on the outside i've still been able to maintain this hard shell.
i don't exactly know what is wrong with me, but quite honestly, this state that i am in scares the living daylights out of me. i feel like i've lost myself. i've become someone else, someone who i don't even know: the person that i used to be no longer exists.
i don't know what to believe in anymore. it's all bull s***.
i feel like i need to do something to get myself back. i feel like my passions are all still inside of me somewhere, but i don't know where to look, or how to go about finding them.
i feel like i'm completely falling apart.
i have become completely devoid of all motivation and drive.
i feel like my world is falling apart and i don't know how to fix it.

psychologists would classify you as having a mild form of depression. not being able to feel fulfilment or satisfaction in anything you do would certainly cause you to feel that way, always asking yourself what is the point of all of this? (work, school, relationships, etc.) but as long as you realize that this is a NORMAL human reaction to these kinds of circumstances, you should be able to find strength and determination to keep trudging on.
try not to resort to taking happy pills, it would just mask the symptoms and you wouldn't know what other things these pills are doing to your body.
instead, maybe you can build up your self-esteem or your ego (if you have one) by doing things you're really good at and competing with it. and by doing these things over and over again it could help in bringing back some meaning or purpose in your life that you are looking for, especially if you beat people.
but if all else fails try changing your diet. after all, you are what you eat. you can try fasting, even for just three days, to get rid of some of the toxins in your body that could be causing this. do some research first though, before you do.

Write down your goals and a time limit.
Like 2 years from now you will have a new car.
Start a money savings plan.
Weight loss if needed, plan a new diet.
Find a better multivitamin take at dinner time.
Quit the caffeine, alcohol, smoking you might be doing.

Been there. A couple of times. Talk to a close friend, you might be surprised. Or talk to an acquaintance that can develop into a good friend.
But it is depression, the best remedy in this stage is to talk to someone who might understand, or at least help you find your true self.
And let yourself cry a little.

Well, to tell you the truth, I was where you are now last year.
I'm a dying ger inside that keep on smiling at others and encouraging others to live on bravely.
I suffered from mild depression since early 20s and amenia since last year dec.
I stopped work for close to 1/2 year after the diagose of my amenia trying to figure out what's the hell is going on with me especially after my last hamster died last year March in a freak accident (I nearly went bonkers - Crying almost non stop for 2 days and I really look like a zombie after that.)
When I look at my hp phone list scrolling from A to Z, I can't find a single friend to talk to (either busy with their lives or simply not close enough to have a heart to heart talk).
This is what I do and keep doing - writing and typing. To write out my emotions on a diary. For a day, I can continously write for pages non stop.
I can type online in my blog non stop. I know my friends won't read them as my emotions are just minor things to them. But it really helps me out a lot.
They really vent out my emptyness and greyness in this world and allow me to slowly but steady walk out of my void.

Yes I've been there too.
Now I am super cool ;-)
It means you're developing as a human being. You're leaving the old stuff behind and you haven't found your new level yet. Don't worry, you will get there :-)
People will probably post here telling you to read one book or another to find instant peace of mind. Take them all with a grain of salt is my advice.

it sounds like u may be suffering from depression. i think you may need someone to talk to and find out where this all came from and why it all started, i would reccomend counseling or reading self help books if u dont believe in them...good luck
