is this depression?

[violet21]

I'm 21, female and this is how i feel.. i just feel empty, numb, i have no energy do to anything, i can't enjoy anything, in fact i can't feel anything... i had before moments when i felt sad, but now i don't even feel that... i just feel nothing. when i was little i had some kind of energy, little comparing to other kids, but at least i had moments when i enjoyed playing, drawing, watching tv, or talking with others. now i have no passions, no pleasurable activities, just nothing. i feel so tired, exhausted, i just want to stay in bed without moving, and i wish someday i will fall asleep and never wake up. because my life just seems meaningless. i don't feel sad now, but i just feel nothing....is this depression? would talking to a psychologist be helpful? i'm feeling like i have no reason to seek help, because i don't feel sad. i just feel nothing... i wish to know which condition could cause me feeling like this.

my general physician said it might be anemia or something, but my blood tests were right. yet i still feel the same

it happens that sometimes i get through phases when i feel down and i'm suicidal (i never tried to commit suicide but honestly must say i've projected in mind myself doing it ) ...
but i must say most of the time i just feel like this. i never have too much energy (only if i don't get sleep for 24-32 hours, i'm a little euphoric, but otherwise it never happens to me) most of the time i feel just empty, without energy and exhausted

now i'm in the first year in college, i feel i'm going to fail, because i don't have enough energy to do anything. i feel tired, and exhausted most of the time, i have poor concentration and i get pretty often headaches.soon i'll have an exam, but i just couldn't do anything these days because of these low energy levels and strong headaches

Yes, this sounds like depression to me. I really think it would be good for you to see a therapist or psychiatrist. You may need meds and to just talk some stuff out. Hope you soon get the help you need. I have felt like you do so many times.....but it's much better now than when I was younger. My early 20's were the worst. Take care, and I'm glad you came here to talk.

Yes - I think you should see a psychiatrist. Your story was like reading about myself. How I explained it was that I felt like a "dead man walking" - like I had flatlined.
All I can say is - Don't hide, don't be ashamed, get help and be around really positive people that love and care about you.
I wish you well on your journey to feeling human again.
