Lately I've been feeling lonely, I don't hang out with friends anymore. I'm always sleeping during the day and no matter how hard I try to sleep at night I just can't. I don't know what I'm feeling it's a lot off emotions in one. I feel empty and sad most of the time. I'm a second year student I where I had confidence and detemination once I now feel drained and that I can't do it anymore and I don't care to study. Please help!!

I agree with you NicoleKirkland .. Eunice ...reading that you are a student there are likely student outlets i.e. student health services on campus or in the community that you can access quickly. How long have you been feeling like you do ??? If these emotions have been dragging on for a while it is time to talk to a healthcare practitioner. Try to remember when you started feeling down; or that feeling of being "drained". You likely need someone to help you talk through what has become " a thing" .. You can get back on track by seeing a social worker, therapist or if you are in your home community - get to your GP - your family doctor for an appointment. You can get yourself some good help; sooner rather than later .... Best wishes, hug yourself ... Sandra

I know what you mean last year was really tough because my dad was in prison but what helped me was one of my friends, talk to one of your friends and just vent that helps a lot and if you need to calm down things of words that start with the letters in calm.

It does sound like depression or some form of anxiety mixed with depression but definitely seen a therapist would help.
