My inability to understand what is going on with me is making me depressed.

Over the last few years I've gotten cloudy. I can't think or remember things very well. Simple situations like job interviews or going to meet with friends at a place I haven't been to before make me very oddly nervous. My friends care about me, but are becoming more distant. I'm different around them than I used to be. My fiance loves me, but I always find myself unable to communicate most anything that I feel to her or anyone else. I can't feel comfortable, like I'm always getting ready for something, testing myself and everyone around me. I feel silly doing this, but I've recently taken a skills and personality test for a job promotion, and was refused the promotion based solely upon my personality results. I think it may be time to admit that there may be something wrong, and it's getting worse, in my head. I'd certainly welcome a recommendation. I'm pretty confused. Thanks.

Welcome to the Community, zakry3323. How long has it been since your last complete physical? Having a physical will tell you whether what you are experiencing is somatic. You might talk to your general practitioner beforehand about your concerns and the reason for the physical.

If you do not have a physical problem, you could ask your general practitioner to refer you to a psychologist for an evaluation to determine if any treatment is indicated.

Good luck.

I think Byza has given you some really good advice. Well are allowed to feel the blues from time to time, but if it is affecting your life, you should seek help. Try rule out any physical issues first e.g. lack of energy/sleep, vitamin deficiency...

I didn't think I needed to see a psychologist, but eventually went, on a friend's recommendation. It's taken me a good while to realise that underneath everything, there were a few things I needed to sort out in my head. It takes time

Yes, I think it's time to get a professional's opinion of your mental health and physical health is a good/easy place to start.

Hi welcome to psych central hope you like it here

Wecome indeed! A psysical s a great place to start. The n see what you can do to start see a psychologist. I sugggest that because they arere usually well trained to help diagnose the disorders that might have bisis other than just depression or anxiety, such as some of the organic based disoorders also. If they suspect something more comprehensive they can referr you to a psychiatrist or eve to someone who can carry out a neuropsychiatric evaluation. But that is in the uncertain futyre, and first you should get yourself a good physical and a talk with your GP. Let us know how it goes, OK? HUGGGGGSSSSSSSS and hope you can find the support you need.
