Nothing seems to help

I just feel that I am stuck in a rut and can't get out. I was always an ambitious person but now I simply can't be "bothered"...I have stopped going to wrk & school. All I wanna do is stay home, sleep, eat and watch tv.

I then feel worse for missing school and work, and because eating has made me gain abt 20 pounds in the past 6 months. I am seeking counseling and took prozac for a while but prozac did not seem to help and now am off them.

I want to change my life and change what is going on but I just don't have the energy,or will to do it!

Let your family and boyfriend be of help to you, let them know how you feel. I would see a doc too.

thank you guys...I have told a friend how I feel but that's abt it...I am way too ashamed to tell anyone else. I feel i'll be judged and "labelled"...

That is good and if your friends label you or judge you then they are not your friends and you can do better.....You need to talk about it now with someone don't leave it to late.....from afriendtoall

meds are a "trial and error" kinda thing...what works for one, doesn't for another. DEF seek the counseling, but also be open to trying different meds...u very well could find the one for u.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
