For the past two weeks I've stopped caring about school and idk why. The homework is easy, but I just don't feel like it amoung other things. I don't care about grocery shopping, making dinner, and eating. My chores are pilling up and idk how to shake this off. Everything seems so overwhelming even though it's not. Is this the beginning of SAD or is this something else? I was fine two weeks ago

I see my therapist tomorrow so I need ideas on what to ask her. I need to stop this before I fail the semester.

I don't like the work 'lazy'. It is overused and not helpful.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the volume of work you need to do?

I used the word lazy since that's what everyone has been calling me lately :/

I'm not sure to be honest. I was fine in the beginning of the school year, but now everything seems to be coming undone. I don't have hard homework to do, I just rather stay in my room all day and sleep. The other day I slept from 2am to 6pm and I still wanted to stay in bed. I rather wear the same clothes again and I eat cereal out of cups to avoid washing all the dirty bowls. I think I'm doing bad and that is causing everything to be overwhelming.

I know this feeling medical fox. Today when I went to work I was in a foul mood, I was on the verge of tears, I was going to go home. But I chose a task and struggled through it. By focusing my energy I think I was able to snap out of it. Maybe you can try focusing on a goal, like washing those dirty bowls

I know the feeling. Sounds melancholy , depressed. Loss of interest in things. It's almost impossible to just "snap out of it" for me. Hope the T helps.

I do that everyday someimes ill eat soup out of the pot it was cooked in so I dont have to wash a bowl. Then ill do half the dishes and say good enough, I do that no matter how im feeling.

I think the over sleeping may indicate some depression, when I have mild depression I dont realize it cause I dont necessarily feel 'bad' or down. But certanly notice less interest in things and feeling tired and sleeping all the time and frustrated at everything. Forcing my self to get exercise, do things like clean and getting outside more, or cook a good meal, certainly helps after a few days or weeks. Thats if the depression is mild of course

Just tell her what you told us, that everything seems overwhelming and you lost interest in everything

When I'm about to go into depression, I start losing interest in doing anything. It all kind of begins to seem pointless. Sounds like it could be depression. Hope speaking to the T helps (helped?).
