I know that it may be heard to believe but if you were not in this living world there would be so many heartbroken 2 legged beings and at least one 4 legged being. I hear your desperation and I hear your anguish. When I hear that you just want to isolate and sleep all the time and that you don't have any motivation. I am wondering if you may be depressed. I feel that so many issues stem from depression. Have you ever been evaluated for depression? Also you say that you don't have a social life and you are uneasy around people. You may also be suffering from a form of anxiety. I feel that you have enough symptoms to be checked out by a therapist or psychiatrist. Could you check into getting help for your issues? It almost sounds like you are trying to go uphill without any steam. It is kind of self defeating. I would definitely seek professional help. You matter and your feelings matter. I don't really think anyone understands just how much you are struggling. I hear you and others will want to help you get on the right course as well. Welcome to PC where you will get good feedback and an array of supportive comments. I hope that you keep reaching out here but also please ask for help at home. I wish you the very best and please keep us posted.

I've never been evaluated for depression, I did go to my college's counselling centre and they ran a couple of tests on me, but I never received treatment as I was placed on the waiting list and I never heard back from them. People definitely make me nervous, whenever I know I have to go somewhere (except college) and be around people, I get so nervous and feel sick and shake. I'm desperate to go to the doctor but my mum insists I don't have depression and that I'm pretending to be sad for attention. She won't let me go to the doctor because I would be wasting the doctors time and medication, apparently. I can't get there myself, since my mum has to drive me, I can't go without her permission. My dog is honestly the best friend I've ever had and if I didn't have him, I definitely wouldn't be here typing this right now. I just love him so much, he means the world to me.
