My feelings are hard to explain so hear me out?
I'm not sure if it's a normal feeling because I'm unable to literally put myself in other's shoes. However, I've noticed this has gotten worse with me. My emotions have become fairly "numb", as in there's a slight response, if any at all. I feel unable to laugh or smile genuinely with my "friends" if I would call them that. I don't feel like they like me. I can be loud sometimes, and I'm unable to have good conversation, as my social skills are lacking. I kind of watch people go by with their friends, and envy that because I don't understand how to socialize well. So I always feel alone. My attention span has went down severely, and I zone out a lot. It's just really hard to focus lately. I've been trying to immerse myself in clubs, etc while in college, but even then, I feel different from my peers, and I feel like people gravitate from me because I'm bad at socializing. Idk. I just feel. Disconnected now you know? |

Thank you. I really hoped that wasn’t confusing.
I’ve posted a lot on forums about diff things and ppl say it might be depression. But I thought depression was different? I don’t really feel sadness, though I do cry on occasion. Just feels like I’m floating through life at this point. I’m only 17, but I rly feel directionless and lack drive to do things. My doc gave me a referral before i moved to college and it said I should get psychological evaluation. I haven’t called the school about it yet but I will. Just anxious lol. |

People sometimes are surprised when someone says they may be depressed.
 they think that you should "feel" sad, mope around in bed, and never go anywhere. Feeling numb, disconnected, and awkward in social situations are also signs of depression.There are many of us walking wounded out there. We smile and put on a happy face It might seem scary to go to a psychologist. But they may be able to help you and you will feel so much better if you do get help. __________________  Eat a live frog for breakfast every morning and nothing worse can happen to you that day!

I'm sorry you are struggling. I agree that a psychological evaluation could be beneficial and I encourage you to schedule one. Sending big hugs.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
