Hi Adder;

I was diagnosed with depression a month ago, that they say I have had all my life, and up to a few years ago, I could laugh at movies, jokes and people being silly, but now I just want to hide and nothing makes me very happy anymore. At one time I also could be out front and dance on floats, host a dance and greet people, now I want to hide and sleep all the time.

Even though I would sleep all night long, I always felt like I didn't sleep at all, and nothing helped with that feeling.

I became forgetfull, could concentrate most of the time and easy things became hard things to remember.

You should seek a therapist or counselor for help, we all need someone to help us through this feelings.
