I Don't Know What's Wrong With me. Read This and Give Me an Opinion on What I should do?
I don't know if I would necessarily call it depression or laziness. I get in these "spurts" where I just don't care about myself or my home or belongings. I'll go for days without showering or brushing my hair. I let my house and car get unbearable. Then I'll just snap out of it and say what the hell! Why am I living like this and go back to getting manicures every week and vacuming daily. But when I am in these spurts I'll lay in bed 20 hours out of the day and let food and pepsi cans get piled around my bed? What the hel l is wrong with me!? Why do I do this and how do I change?

It does sound like you have some sort of depression, even if mildly. If these spurts come often or frequently I think I would see a doctor. It is possible you have a chemical imbalance and he could prescribe something to keep you on a more even keel all the time. Good luck to you, I hope you find a solution.

It sounds like depression, but I am not a Dr. and even if it is it could be chemical or related to a frustraion with life that is normal, talk to a Dr. but really think about what's going on in your life also.

If this condition has a profound impact on the way that you live your life it could be and sounds like clinical depression.This is often caused by a chemical imbalance of seratonin,norepinephrine or sometimes dopamine.You should discuss this with a doctor who can better evaluate your situation.No need to feel embarassed.This condition affects millions of people in this country alone.Please speak to a professional.Try to find things about your self that are unique and special in the mean time

OK first, yes this does sound like it could be clinical depression. No biggie your family doc can help you with that. But you don't give enough information for anyone, not even someone that has had bi-polar for 32 years, say that you are bi-polar.

Bi-Polar is generally known by the mood swings that range from a high(mania) where you don't make good judgment calls period. To a depression that can be so low that some have suicidal thoughts. Some cycle through so fast that they get tagged a "rapid cycler" <me> I can cycle several times in a day at times.

Follow the link below and there is a box that can help you assess your risk, it also has a lot of info on anything you might want to look at.

Hope this helps.

I used to do some of the same things when I was in college (not to this degree, but I'd still get this feeling of helplessness).

I spoke to a professional about it, it he said that my major (which was molecular biology), combined with my job to help pay for school was burning me out.

I found a way to secure more student loans in college, cut back on the hours I worked the job, and was able to do better in school, and feel better about things.

Sounds like Depression to me.
I will see if I can track down a couple of sites that have short tests you can take and then print off to take to the Dr.
Things to think of when did this start?
Did anything new or traumatic happen around that time.
Are you under more stress than normal?
How is your concentration?
Do you still enjoy the things you used to like to do?
Depression can be treated,and you can feel better.
"Please speak to a "Physician they will be able to help.
I will go get those links now for ya :)
Ok the links are below....I hope you find them helpful :)

One thing you might do is evaluate your diet and exercise routines. Consistent exercise, including walking for 20 to 30 minutes each day, can help to even out your mood swings. Substituting water for soft drinks (including pepsi, which I also like a lot) helps to stabilize mood too.

Going to bed at the same time each night and making sure that your sleeping room is dark so that you get a chance at adequate rest is critical. No music, no TV to fall asleep by, no reading yourself to sleep.

It seems that you run yourself out of seratonin and then have to 'rest' for a few days to build it back up. If you exercise regularly, take your vitamins (ncluding some extra B vitamins) and get high quality sleep, you can give yourself less destructive ways to sustain your attitude and ability to cope.

From what you have written, it could be put down to simply being a bit lazy. However, you have not really stated how you feel when you can't be bothered to take care of things. Do you feel low or tearful, do you feel hopless, worthless, does life seem pointless? If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from minor depression. I'd recommend getting plenty of excercise on a regular basis as it is a natural antidepressant, as you release endorphins. Maybe take up a new hobby, which involves going out and meeting new people and making an effort. When you get into these phases, force yourself out of bed and go out for a walk or something. HTH.

I have the same thing. I am currently on Zoloft and it helps a bit. I have had this for 10 years. I have been lucky enough to be able to employ a housekeeper.. but I seem to even feel worse as I watch another care for my home,, I have I have been told "Bipolar"is my problem , that seems to be a catch all pharse that has replaced the now infamous " nervous breakdown" people used in the 1970s.

Depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme Disease, Anemia just to name a few. Do yourself a favor and turn off your computer and go to the Doctor and get a blood test, etc. The answer may be easier to fix than you think. Good Luck

Maybe you should ask yourself what is bothering you. If there is something bothering you, solve it once and for all. If there is nothing bothering you, i dont think you are in depression. Maybe you are just taking a break for the moment.

It's hard to gauge symptoms on here, and I am not an expert. While it could be several physical or mental disorders, it's probably normal for someone with your stressful lifestyle (student, adult worker, living arangement -- I read and answered some of your other questions). First, go to the health service for your university and tell them how you feel. They'll do some bloodwork and may refer you to a pysch for an evaluation. Most of this is probably free or covered by student insurance.

You may want to cut back on the pepsi. Not only does the caffeine cause mood swings but the sugar can too. Hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar) can result in temporary mental issues, but it could be a normal sugar rush followed by a sugar crash.

Serious ailments may be responsible, but if you see hoof prints, you usually expect a horse, not a zebra. IIRC, bipolar people have longer periods of mania and depression. I don't think depression is usually cyclical. However, Dysthemia is a relatively rapid cycle of mild highs and lows. Note, this is not the same as Dysthymia (2 y), which is several years of general mild depression that may be somewhat variable.

It's most likely that you are simply stressed out, but you should certainly check with a doctor to be sure. I'm guessing that you feel like a boat adrift without an anchor. If so, then maybe you should look for an anchor. I hope this helps.

Depression, you're not the only one who has gone through it.

Believe ME, Its the toughest when you don't even realize whats going on around you....

I recently went through this sort of thing, The only thing I can say, Is never lose hope!

If you asked a doctor why your foot hurts after you droped a anvil on it he would say "depression". Don't listen to the depression people. Don't change, just accept that that is a part of who you are. I'm sure the stress of worring about the mess makes a mole hill into a mountain. By the way let me know if anyone has seen my mouse , it was lost in a sea of dr pepper cans on my desk. Also I must warn you about crystaliceberg, she smokes airplaine glue.carte blanche wanting to be your soul mate, I hear that guy is the bomb, he has a 12 inch.......................................



ruler in his desk drawer. And don't worry I saw a bi polar at the zoo once it was nasty, but im sure your not like her.

You should spend more time with your friends. Whenever you get that "spurts",you should tell your best friend and let him/her to stay beside you and encourage you. Go shopping or watching movies that amuse you or.... something like that. Never stay alone when you feel like something's wrong with you. That will be OK. Good Luck!

When did you start getting into these spurts? Was there any triggering event or series of events that lead to what you do now?

I believe there is always a cause that leads to one's change in behaviour. And to find out the cause, try going through some introspection. Keep a journal. Talk to your friends about this. Perhaps they can also shed some light on the question you are having right now.

Also, pay attention to how you feel when you get into these "spurts" and how you feel when you became aware of what you are doing. These feelings may give a clue as well.

When you have a better understanding of yourself and why you do this, you will know better how to change. Finding the root cause and solve it at the root will eventually kill these symptoms.

Otherwise, try to change your habits step-by-step (because you want to change for the better afterall!).

Hope this help... :)

It takes a great deal of determination to change. You have to focus on that little side of you, the side that wants to change and consequently posted this question in the first place. Imagine that it's the dominant side of you, and make it tell yourself "What the hell!" everytime you feel like you're slipping into these 'spurts'. If necessary, say it loudly and force yourself to get moving. Also try to make a daily schedule, set reminders on your PDA or mobile with annoying alarm sounds that you just can't ignore. Don't overload the schedule with too much tasks, keep it minimum so you'd know you wouldn't be too lazy to do them, but just enough to make sure that you don't have food piled around your bed!
