These feelings come in waves though-one minute I will be fine and I will get up in the morning for work feeling okay, then 5 minutes later I feel really down and will think of any excuse not to go to work!I will talk to my friends online and feel fine then all of a sudden I will just feel really crappy and start being really moody with them for no reason! I know I'm doing it but don't know why and don't know how to stop it!!I haven't been eating--not because I'm too paranoid about being fat just because I can't be bothered and have no motivation! I just simply can't be bothered!! All I seem to be doing with my time is laying on my bed doing absolutely nothing!!I've recently started having feelings for my female friend which are getting more and more intense-I'm not a lesbian so this is freaking me out a bit but I dunno what to do to get myself out of this mood I've been in! Has anyone else felt like this? Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can boost my mood or anything like that? I really need some help!

The best thing to do is (and yea, i didnt like the sounds of it either) But TALK! then excercise, eat plenty of fruit, excercise, as you probably know, releases endorphines. St johns wart is available over the counter as a herbal anti depressant. seeing a councilor can also help. As for your feelings to your female friend, lots of people go through a hard time of deciding what they want and what makes them happy, your feelings towards her, however, maybe because you see her as happy and maybe your feelings are more to do with envy than attraction. The two are very often confused. hope things get better.

 It's called depression. It can be mild, as you have described, or it can be full-blown, like you want to kill yourself. Neither one is healthy and should be dealt with immediately. Talk to a counselor, a pastor, or your healthcare professional. Everyone experiences some form of depression in their lifetime. When I start to feel this way, I usually work out (sometimes a boost in endmorphis will actually help kick the blues) sometimes I call my friends and listen to their problems for awhile, or I play music for a few hours and get lost in something I love. I also give myself permission to cry until I have no more tears. But I think your may be more than a momentary bout with the blues if you don't even want to eat. You may need to be on a mild anti-depressant or start seeing a counselor and find out what's at the root of your unhappiness. It could be a hormonal imbalance or something more serious. Please find the strength to make that call and keep reminding yourself how good it feels to be happy again.
