What is wrong with me? Can antidepressants help?

Guys! I am having the following things going on, and would love any help I can get. I am a twenty-one year old girl. I have lived a normal life. I eat healthy and don't smoke or drink. I am a college student. I have always had fatigue problems, and never felt that 'sex drive' that other people do. My periods are whack. But lately I have started to feel really depressed, anxiety, awful fatigue, difficulty with attention, chronic headaches. I also have had weird sleep patterns, my memory and social skills are shot. My emotions are gone Everything that once was fun and exciting is frightening. I am so scared to move on. Is there hope? I miss life! Can antidepressants help? Anyone have any advice? When I read things on sites, people scare me away from them. I have come to find that most all medicines seem to never even phase me. HELP, please!

I think it would be better for you to talk with a qualified medical professional on campus who could look at you, run tests, and talk to you in depth about what's going on. Give student health and student counseling a call. :-)

go see a doctor. I think you are having hypothyroidism,if so then its just a minor problem which can be improved by taking daily thyroxine tablets

These problems can be solved through a change in diet. Depression is half because you are unhappy with your situation in life and half because of your diet. I can help with the diet bit but you will then have to change the situation in your life by yourself. Would that be okay with you?

Here's what to do.

Have a lot of fruits like about 10 a day, including bananas, oranges, whichever fruits you like. They are not only good for health but will keep you mood levels stable and also your energy levels. Also, about once a week or so have some fish, which contains vitamin B12, the lack of which can cause depression.

Doing the above should cure your depression without the side effects that are all too common with anti depressants. That's right anti depressants have unpleasant side effects that doctors don't like talking about.

The rest will be upto you. Deciding what kind of life you want to have and what you and your family need to do to make it happen.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Good luck and take good care of yourself, you seem like a really good girl.
