I found my sleep patterns changed dramatically, i would wake up very early in the morning (bofre 5 am) and then get sleepy by mid afternoon. Then I would go to bed early cos I was so tired.
Also, not feeling like doing anything, no motivation. Crying lots for no apparent reason. Also I was very anxious, panicky and felt nauseous all the time. What are your symptoms?

Sleep definitely. Crying, I also cut myself off from everyone. I haven't read a book in about 10 years and I used to read all the time. I get really nervous and paranoid

like you, I don't feel like doing anything. no motivation. anxiety. I also sleep a lot (like naps after school), skip a lot of my homework, am tired all the time, and feel worthless, and akward in social situations. My past counselor has said these are "normal", but I want to meet actual people who have symptoms similar to mine so that I can not feel so alone.

Severe loss of interest in things that I usually love, such as knitting, being outdoors, traveling, seeing friends and family, and especially academics. I've stopped attending classes. When I eat, I binge on bad food (that is, junk food, fast food, etc). I sleep A LOT, as in twelve to fourteen hours at a time. All I can do any more is read and do a little bit on the computer. I feel extremely guilty, and like a huge failure, and, until very recently (when I finally sought professional help), completely and utterly hopeless, to the point where I was contemplating killing myself.

I call it going to the dark side. There are no colors it's all gray's.
