Something’s not right

Am I okay?

Am I okay?

So I know that this is a question I myself can only answer, but I just don’t know. I can’t answer that for myself.

I dont know how to explain what’s going on inside my head but I’ll try the best I can.

I am, 20 years old, engaged with the love of my life, but somehow I struggle to get out of bed some morning I really don’t enjoy going to work anymore, and I’m always unwell, I just don’t know if it’s all in my head or if I’m being an attention seeker.

Sometimes I don’t feel good at all, In my head all I want to do is spend all day in bed and not go to work or do anything at all.

its kind of scary feeling this well because there’s a part of me telling me it’s not right.

I dont feel excitment or motivstion anymore, I feel dull and flat most days and I just don’t know what to do about it. I honestly feel like quitting because I’m so unhappy but I know that’s not a good thing to do because then I won’t have money.

My nanna passed away earlier this year so maybe that could be why I have gone down hill so far. I have spoken to a doctor and she has put me on anti depressants. But I still just don’t feel okay.

So that brings me back to my question, am I okay? Or am I just over reacting.

Thanks

Hi @Lemonade

Great to have you reaching out in our forums - welcome!

It's good to be self aware enough to flag when things don't feel quite right. There can be a difference to having an off day and to feeling off for quite some time. I am really sorry to hear about your loss.

Have you spoken to anyone else about this? Perhaps members can share what they did when they weren't sure if there was a deeper problem?

@Lemonade. It sounds like you might need to see a psychologist to find out what's going on with you.

You can ask your gp for a mental health assessment, just a quick questionnaire, and then your gp can refer you to a psychologist under the Medicare scheme, so you can have some free or cheap counselling. That might help sort out what really is happening for you.

All the best of luck.
