Has this ever happened to you?

[Lizbon]

Recently I haven't been wanting to go to places. I decided not to go to a football game a few days ago, I didn't go to the school dance, my friend invited me somewhere this weekend and I said no, and my neighbor called to ask if I wanted to come over and again I said no. I don't know whats wrong with me. I partially said no tonight because I am tired and I just ate dinner and didn't feel like getting cleaned up, but other than that I don't know why I have been like this. Has this ever happened to you, where you just don't feel like doing anything? Sorry about my rant.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Yes.
Alot more this year.
I never want to go anywhere.
Football games I kinda do though.
dances, and everything like that no.
I just want to be alone.
It's normal for me.

 

[Lizbon]

See the thing is I am such a social person usually. I'm looking forward to parties I know are coming in the future, and holiday parties but recently I have just no desire to do anything. It is not fun for me!

That is a sign of depression.

Wanting to go out with friends.. but not having to energy or the will too.

Is there aything your upset about?

 

[Axel]

It has. I'm normally really social and I love going places but with school, I'm so worn out that I just want some time alone and I need to catch up on my sleep, but I always feel like I can't say no, especially when my friends are going someplace I really want to go.

I'm not upset about this, and I'm not depressed. Trust me, depression is not what I am going through.

I feel the same way. I am just so tired from school. I want to hang out but its like "I want to hang out with you so badly" but somehow I find myself saying no.

Yes it happens to me. This morning I didn't want to my cousin's birthday party. Maybe that's just because it was 10 in the morning and I fell alseep at 5 in the morning. But a couple times over the summer when I was invited to go to Six Flags with my friends I didn't feel like going (but I went anyway) which is not like me at all.

 

[Lizbon]

Trust me it is not like that at all. I wish I could show you that. It may sound like I am denying it but I'm not. Its only happened a few times, and most of the time is isn't completly my fault. I could'nt make up my mind about the dance, until it was to late. Not a lot of people were going to the football game, so I didn't go. Its like that. I love my friends and I love hanging out with them. I'm not depressed. Thanks for the replies. I don't want people to look down on me because they think I'm depressed. If you guys lived by me, or really knew me you would know its the exact opposite. I am in complete contact with my friends and talk to them all the time. I would never be able to issolate myself from my friends.

do what Rumpledoodle said i was asked by my friend to go to the beach so i asked my mom and she said no i havnt talked to my friend for almost a month i really miss talking to her. keep in contact with your friends it is not always good to be alone though i choose to be alot

 

[Lizbon]

I'm kind of regretting making this thread. People are thinking I am alone all the time which is DEFINETLY not true. I was just having a little vent. Trust me I am in contact with my friends. I talk to them all the time, hang out with them in school, and out of school. Like I said I would never be able to isolate myself from my friends, by accident or on purpose.

Thanks for all the replies.

Ah, well I was never a social person in the first place. I like going out with 2 friends to sonic and stuff but group things where I talk to alot of people I hate.

I kinda understand what you mean.
I don't want to isolate myself from my friends. I talk to them all the time, and I hang out at school. I just want to have time alone. [I know you don't feel that way but...this is my mini rant]
And people think i'm depressed. This kid was like gasping when he saw me out at the bowling alley. He thought I stayed home all the time and read...just read.
My friend was telling me her two friends were joking and laughing about me, saying I was depressed and was a depressed child. I honestly, couldn't be farther from depressed. I'm my mother's child. That's all. And I don't smile at school...there is no reason, I'm not having a super fantastic day, nobody has made me laugh. Nobody has made me smile...but that doesn't mean I'm not happy. And I'll openly admit, I'm alone most of the time. And I like it that way. I'm not depressed, I don't hate the world, and I don't hate my life, I just like being alone.


And before I usually perfer being alone alot of the time I felt the same way you did. And I don't think you are depressed at all.
I was never depressed when I felt this way. So I don't see it as a form of depression. But that's just me.
And I guess it just went away.
Good Luck though.

And if this didn't make any sense, I'm sorry. And it doesn't have much advice, sorry.
Sometimes you just have to be in my mind to know what I'm thinking.

Thank you for understanding. I know people deny depression but this is not like that at all and it is kind of frustrating that people think I'm depressed. Like I said, if people knew me and went to school with me, ect they would know thats not the case. I think part of the reason is I'm still adjusting to school (I know its October, summer vacation was over like 2 months ago ) So I think waking up early and everything is just making me tired.

I feel exactly the same way, I just want to be alone, I love to be alone. but that's the opposite of you I guess cause you said your social, like I love to be around my friends at school, but when they invite me places I find myself saying no.

 

[KidGoofy]

I don't think it is depression because I am the same way but I am never depressed. Ask any of my friends and they will say I am always happy. Sometimes I just feel like relaxing and eating.

Yea, its like sometimes you just want to relaz, maybe watch some TV.

Thanks everyone.

During my senior year of high school, I was getting so stressed out. I was loaded with work most of the time. then, during the second semester I had nearly nothing to do as far as homework goes. I was very excited because this meant I could spend more time doing things I couldn't when I was bogged with work...however, when it came to my friends asking me to go out and do something, I didn't. I had gotten myself used to having to stay home and I felt so relaxed from the work that I just wanted to lounge around the house. It's not depression, it's just that sometimes your body knows you need to relax even if your mind doesn't. I know that I felt guilty for not going out and I knew that I always used to want to go out...but now I didn't "want" to. It's natural, it's not depression, and you'll snap out of it soon.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I did this for like half of the summer.
I had to babysit all day, and then I was so tired I didn't want to go anywhere.

I can't speak for you, but I wasn't depressed.
I felt weird not wanting to go out... but wanting to at the same time.
But I got over it, you will, too.

I worried about it a lot then, but it's no big deal.
Don't worry about it, it's just liek a "stage" or something.

Thanks this mean a lot, the bolded part is how I feel. I realized last night before I made this thread how guilty I felt. It was only a few things I said no to, but I didn't want my friends thinking I was mad at them. I wanted to go out, but I there was nothing "pushing me" to go. If that makes sense.

Again, thank you. I know I am not depressed. I hope I get over this faze soon!

I know I especially can't wait for Halloween becasue I get to go trick or treating with me friends. Its weird because I donn't want to do anything right now, but there are so many things coming up that I can't wait for. Halloween with my friends, Thanksgiving with my family (especially all my cousins), X-mas with my family, hopefully a weekend trip around the holidays with my 2 friends and our parents, meeting up with thhe same two friends before New Years, a New Years eve/ day party at my neighbors. I just can't wait! But right now, its like I am so tired! I hate school! Why can't it start at like noon, and end at like 3. Like that will ever happen!
