There is lots you can do, as you indicate by the many things you have tried already.
Perhaps just doing something is not what you need. What have you been able to LEARN from each one of the activities that you have already tried?
The reason that we go through such periods in life is to develop our identity and our purpose. When we are children, everything is taught us, and all that we have to learn what the rules are and how to successfully get to the next level of the game. Once that we become adults, it is up to us to define our own life's objective, and that can be a rude awakening, since we were only taught to follow somebody else's plan that was already worked out for us, called our "education".
Some will opt out and become part of a cult, a gang, or a military enterprise where we have the security of somebody who gives us orders, which we can accept or rebel against, but which relieves us from responsibility for taking our own decisions.
Taking decisions for ourselves requires taking risks, because we will then have to learn from our mistakes and change how we make our decisions. It is not simple.
I could suggest reading some philosophy, or even taking a course at a nearby location. Talking with other people who are wrestling with issues like the ones you are facing can be a big help.
Have you tried everything as in a therapist...a psychiatrist, medication...hypnosis? Seriously, you need to seek outside professional help not just TV and Music.
Girlie you need to go out with your friends. Don't stay cooped up. I would go do something fun like swimming with friends or get a massage. That is great to do alone or with freinds.
Your options are varied. initially, remember that one in four people in the UK have a mental health diagnosis so you are not alone. You can go to your GP and discuss your feelings and they may prescribe you a course of anti depressants. If taking chemicals is not your thing you can try alternative therapies: St john's wort is effective in some people for managing depression (available from health food shops) or excercise is really great, there are lot of studies that have proven the link between good physical health and good mental health. Accupuncture is also a good method. If your feelings get overwhelming you can in the first instance contact the Samaritans and talk through with someone how you are feeling. Take care
I'm feeling the same way, I do not leave the house for long periods, nothing make sense to me, I do not want to do anything, just lye down on the couch until my body hurts, I do go to sleep, more and more, sleeping til 1PM and then
going to sleep again at 9PM, eating is good, still, but I'm getting fat very fast, I gained 6 pounds in 3 days, I wish I have stamina to study something, be something, but nothing looks
worthwhile to do, my body asks me to paralize, I'm against medication, makes this worst I know, I'm tired of over achievement people, I just wish I was not here, to kill myself will take a lot of work, I just won't do it. Sorry, my answer is
not what you should be hearing now, but it is me, at least I can write this to you and everybody out there. Love, L
I found using the program found in The Mood Cure to be life-changing. http://www.moodcure.com/ For example, you might be both negative + depressed.
