Is this Depression? I dont know whats wrong with me!!

I found your forum through searching some of my problems on google.
I was amazed at some of your stories and success.
I really hope to get better and get back to my old self. I will do anything.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I am a 20 Year old male. I never thought of this as my problem. I am still in the closet about my sexuality and dont htink its a good idea to come out. At the moment thats not an issue for me. But these symptoms are.

- Cant Concentrate anymore. (I cant read) I feel as though Im staring through the words, Like the feeling of tiredness. And I also cannot stare at anything anymore as my eyes feel like they need to look away or focuse in front or behind. I usually get frustrated
(I have also got some eye floaters)

- My eyes are really heavy and sore. Feels like my muscles are tense. And I feel this all around the forehead and temples. Its like a constant Pressure or tension headache. (Maybe its a depression)

- I have sorta developed a social phobia. Start to worry what people think. I get a bit nervous. I sometimes get really shaky but its only mainly when doing presentations.

-I think I have some anxiety issues. I used to worry thinking that i might have cancer. I fear silly things. I did develop a lump on my breast and the doctor said its probably just hormones.

- I sometimes get this feeling as though everything is a hassle. Im very unmotivated at the moment because I am very tired at work and dont think I can study even if I wanted too. I really want to get a better eduacation but this concentration problem is really bothering me.

-I suffer from neck pain but it might be due to my posture.

- I have to really force myself to ejaculate sometimes. I think this was due to me taking Roaccutane and Zoloft which cause a delay of ejaculation.

Im worried about a few things. I have only just come off Roaccutane and I heard its a very dangerous drug causing an overdose in Vitamin A and this can affect the Nervous system. Also I am just comming off Zoloft and might go on to Aurorix and see how that goes. I also started taking St Johns wort before going on zoloft adn they helped a bit but I still suffer form reading problems. I used to be very bright. and I heard flaxseed oil is good so I started taking that and then tried ginkgo and B Vitamins but I still feel like im not really going anywhere. I dont know what to do!!


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS!!

I APPRECIATE IT!

Hiya Pino,

What ur describing, the lack of concentration, lack of motivation was how my depression started, alongside getting more anxiety in social situations, together with trouble sleeping. I would recommend going to the dr to get some sort of referal for therapy. Meds are helpful, but in my opinion only alongside some form of psychotherapy.

Please go to the dr's to get a diagnosis before the depression & anxiety worsens.
