Do I just need a routine or should I see a professional..

    I am 20, male and in my second year at college..

    I don't know how I made it to second year, I don't know how I passed my exams..

    Long story short,
    I have not felt genuinely happy in far too long, I laugh at jokes but when I stop it goes back to some place between normal and sad..

    I put everything off, I procrastinate as far as I can take it.
    I get up, I don't go in to my lectures, I go in and I come home early, It took me a week to send an email, I've been meaning to send in a CV for 2 months, I have put off my driving test 3 times..

    I avoid every type of commitment, I lose interest in a girl if I know she's interested..
    My parents constantly point out I am snarky and overall pessimistic,
    I notice the latter too.. I'm either pessimistic or realistic at best..

    I get unnecessarily angry, I see an advert on tv and I just think 'what sh1t are they selling now, what emotion are they going to prey on..'
    I saw an ad about something with no commission and some shoved their head into a cake, I get irrationally angry, 'of course there was a ****1ng cake their'..
    or I see something trying to be funny and it annoys me..
    I know it's completely irrational.

    Pessimistic, depressed, afraid of commitment and irrationally angry.. thats the focus points..
    I think it stems partly from my own faulted ideologies, but as well as that, the fact that I have no interest, I just look forward to going back to bed.

    I don't know what I actually want in life, I've had these grand ideas but the more I think of it the more I'm asking what am I compensating for..

    I just feel numb and bored most of the time, I just don't want to do anything, I don't want to get involved.. and I don't know if I need to just cop on and start a healthy routine or if I actually need to see a professional about this..

    Can I get some insight?

    Seeing a professional should help.
    Start with your GP, tell them exactly what you have said in your post - especially about feeling numb, bored and just wanting to go back to bed.

    I also would suggest checking if there is a counselling service in your college.
    All the best.

    I’m in college at the moment..
    I haven’t told my parents either.

    I don’t particularly want to go see the doctor as I’ve been in and out for the past number of weeks with a skin problem and for blood tests.

    But I was thinking of seeing the counseling service, would that work or do I need to see a doctor?

    No, you can go see a counsellor without going through a GP.
