How to go about it?

    Over the past 2 or 3 weeks I've been feeling really horrible. I just feel like I have no interest in anything and am not bothered doing anything. If I didn't have work I wouldn't get up in the morning. Normally I'm always wanting to do things and go out or go to work. If I didn't have a boyfriend I'd do nothing at all after work. I'm also extremely irritable and moody, which is also very unlike me. I spent all of January and February feeling the same as this but when I realised I was upsetting my boyfriend I snapped out of it. Now I can't 'hide' it anymore and I'm annoying him again. As well as feeling moody and despondent I am also unbearably paranoid. I am constantly fearing that people are thinking the worst of me. I want to get myself sorted out but I don't know how. Do I go to the doctor? What do I say, as there is nothing physically wrong with me can he do anything? I have been in counselling before and I found that didn't help in the long time. I went to counselling off my own back, over feelings like this, to see if it would help. It did at the time but by the time the next session came round I felt horrible again. Eventually the feelings just passed for a while.

    Please don't lock this as a medical issue. I'd like feedback from people who have felt the same and have done something about it.

    Have you openly talked to your boyfriend about this? about how you are feeling?

    Perhaps going to the doctor would be a good idea.
    On the approaching of the subject, you have written this down here, write it again expressing how you feel and what is happening also if anything may be causing it.
    Use what you have written as the basis of explaining to the doctor

    There is also cognitive behavioural therapy and lifecoaching. Use any and all approaches :)

    It sounds like you are depressed. I would strongly advise that you go to your GP who will make a proper diagnosis. My DP went through this a few years ago and thanks to a wonderful GP who receommended a great counsellor, he came through it quickly. Here is a link to Aware http://www.aware.ie/ which should give you more information.

    Best wishes to you. You've certainly taken the first step by asking us to help you.

    it sounds like your very down in yourslef and depressed.. I use to feel the same way, you could go to your gp and he would recommend anti depressents for you to take, i wudnt advise you take them as these can be very addictive and you will feel happy as long as your on them but as soon as you come off them u will feel back to your normal self.. (feeling down)
    You really need to open up to who ever you feel most comfortable talking to, it may not be your boyfriend, but you def. need to talk to someone and speak whats on your mind.. otherwise you will always go through this phase of depression.

    if you want you can talk to me...When i was feeling down i cudnt talk to my boyfriend (whom im still with) or anyone around me, i felt that if i was to speak my mind they would think that I was mad, and that no one really cares..

    but everyone close to does care and wants to help you... you shud always remember that...
