Feeling worthless

[ZacNz]

6 January 2018
Hello im a 25 year old male living in au. For the last 2 years ive had really bad social anxiety which has made me drink in social situations to get through. But in the last 6 months ive just been feeling worthless like lifes not worth living anymore. I wouldnt do anything though. I wake up everyday tired no matter how much i sleep. I have no motivation or energy to workout. I come home from work and either sleep or lie in bed from 2.30pm till the next day. I find it easier to hide away at home than to see friends . My bed has become my safe place . I feel to anxious to go to the doctor to get sorted out . Im not sure what to do. Ive never posted anything about this ever. I think i might have low testosterone because i have many of the symptoms . I just dont know

Hi Zac, welcome

You might need to find the courage to visit your GP, even tell him/her how anxious you were making the appointment.

Sometimes several symptoms, from my experience, equates to only one problem. They can manifest themselves to seem like it is several unknown issues.

If you have depression for example that can lead to sleeplessness, that in turn leads to going to bed in the afternoon, that in turn leads to lack of motivation and so on. Your most important thing to find out is diagnosis. The second is whatever your GP gives you to recover.

It's great to visit the forum and discuss this, read up on things etc but no advice here is better than going to your GP in terms of this problem.

I wish you well.
