Depressed or ??

Does anyone have the problem, they just dont wanna do ANYTHING, but you DONT feel depressed about it. I stopped school, dont listen to music anymore, stopped Tai Chi, have totally secluded myself from my friends, I cant log onto MSN anymore, but im not having any "down" feeling with it all most of the time, sure I feel down at times, but for the most part it just seems like some mental block, I just feel insane, yet sane to know right from wrong , it is just like some sort of a mental block or something. Something in me says nope dont do that. I used to play bass, was never great, but now im just like bass ? meh. and I get up in the morning and pace up and down the hallway, cause I cant bring myself to "doing" anything... if I try and sit and chill out even if I do feel relaxed it is like every minute feels like an hour, My days seem so frigging long... I wake up at like 5-6am... go to bed around 12-1... When I get up I get really frustrated.. I dont feel "down" but I cant be content with anything... I cant watch t.v, dont feel like being in the kitchen, so I end up going outside every 5 minutes to smoke, I never used to smoke, whacky I started I know, and I HATE IT ! I know when I was younger I was diagnosed with ADD, I sometimes wonder if this is all just a really really bad attention span to the point I cant do anything. Im getting really frustrated with it all. I try to explain to the p-doc how I feel, he says "your depressed" I says... I dont feel depressed. What the hell is wrong with me... can anyone relate to this huge jumbling rant... ahhhh... It is like I cant remember how I used to get through time... There was apoint when I seemed to keep myself busy but now it is like I cant, or I dont want to, and then I get really anxious about it. Ahhhh. The madness. Why cant I just be normal !

hey sooper,  We used to have a saying in the mental health field...If you think your crazy, your not and there is no such thing as normal.  You may not be able to pinpoint exactly what the cause was for these feelings that your having but the fact remains that you have lost interest in things and activities that you used to enjoy.  That is a big sign of depression.  So is being unable to sleep and sleeping too much..depends on the person.  Another fact is that you feel as if your physician is brushing you off and not giving you much help.  In which case you need to either address this with your psychiatrist or find a new one. 

I guess I am depressed. It is just a different sort of depression. I just spent a good bit crying for no real reason. Maybe thats a good thing, I am not even sure anymore. The doctor.. bah, he just didnt ask enough questions to me, I had been seeing a nurse twice, but requested to speak with an actual doctor, but he didnt seem much help at all. Im on this imiprimine stuff now, hopefully it helps. Paxil sent me manic though, so there is a good chance this could to, which makes me sad. But the doctor and I agree that we can see what happens, as im not in denial now about what paxil did to me, kinda scary I whent along for the ride though, but I know all the signs and will work with him closely is the plan. I just hope I can keep on going, my days are so long, and im so flustered in the mornings especially about not beeing able to sleep, or even just lay in bed, and the fact nothing seems to entertain me and I have totally cut myself off from the world. And the answer.. pills... it just seems like a horrible cycle. Im only 25 so another 40 years or so of this... lord help me.

Are you seeing a Psychiatrist, social Worker or therapist? Maybe it would help to talk this over with them and see if they can do Cognitive therapy and exercises with you. I have a friend who is ADD and she said she recently started on Straterra and it has worked very well for her. Are you on any medication for depression? Sometimes, depression can cause someone to pace, isolate themselves and not have any interest or motivation.
