What is wrong with me?

For the past week, I have been feeling pretty bad. I can't pinpoint exactly what has caused this change, but I wish I could feel better. Even when I was in the psych hospital a couple months ago, I didn't feel so hopeless. I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm a 24 year old male.

This is basically a list of the problems that I'm having:

1. I don't really want to get out of bed. I have never been the type of person who likes to sleep all day. Now, I don't mind it at all. I've been going upstairs at around 7:30 PM. Today, I came upstairs at around 3:30 PM and have been in bed since. I slept for about 4 hours, even though I got about 8 hours of sleep last night. I used to be a night owl but not anymore. Whenever I have to use the computer now, I just use my laptop, so I don't have to go downstairs.

2. I have no energy at all. I'm so tired. I slept for 8 hours last night and took a 4 hour nap today, but I don't feel refreshed. In another hour or so, I will probably be ready to go to sleep for the night. I had blood work recently while I was in the psych hospital (depression/suicidal ideation), and I was fine.

3. I have this feeling of being alone. It's this nagging feeling of wishing that I had someone supportive and realizing that I really don't have anyone. I don't have any close friends, so it's basically my mom, dad, or sister. I just wish that there was someone besides a family member.

4. I feel very hopeless. It's like I am in such a strange state. If someone handed me a $1 million, I think that I would still feel distant, hopeless, and apathetic.

I don't know how much of this is from my hurting conscience. I did a few pretty bad things, and they are really bothering me. My family is supportive, but it's very hard to live with myself. I'm nervous about a lot of things, and I guess that's very draining to me. This is the reason why I was in the psych hospital originally.

Can anyone relate? I'm not currently taking any medication, although I was taking Wellbutrin when I was discharged from the hospital.

What is wrong with me? I hate feeling so lazy and unmotivated.

I can relate to parts of your post. I have periods where I do nothing but sleep at well, even though they are mostly stress-related. What isn't stress-related is the loneliness. I often feel like I only have my family, but I want friends too. But of course being a hermit won't help me with that, I'm aware of it.

Are you seeing a therapist? If you are, it would be good to talk to them about this. I don't know what's going on or why that is all happening, so I can only tell you that you can find some support here

i can totally relate to you. i wish i had the answer, i have lots of sympathy for you. good for you for going to the hospital, i know it's scary to check yourself in. perhaps they have an out-patient program for you? having a therapist can really help. they can help you make short-term goals, i don't know, i find achievable goals can give me some reason to be alive. or at least a reason to get up in the morning. also, meditation can really help. yoga and pilates can be so relaxing and refreshing. i know this sounds stupid, but you might want a little pet. cats are so sweet and loving, low maintenance. my cat is my life, she is so funny, she always makes me laugh even when i feel broken.

i don't really know what else.. my heart goes out to you. stay strong and good luck X
