Need advice

I've been feeling depressed these days. I check out the symptoms. I do feel unresponsive but I've always been like that. I always feel lazy to respond to other people in the way I should be. For example, if my friends are excited about something and they're all like screaming and smiling (the way girls do), I then realise something happy is going on so only then do I smile.

I sometimes do contemplate about ending my life, but who doesn't? I haven't gone as far as planning my death, so nothing serious I guess.

I still enjoy doing what I like to do so I'm not really depressed?

And I don't know if this is related but I feel very sleepy at night like at 8.30 my brain is already shutting down. Before this, I could stay alert until 11.00.

I blame my tiredness on pseudo-extroverting a lot recently. I'm an introvert trying to speak up and mingle more when I really hate it. Basically, I read a book that says pseudo-extroverting is dangerous for your health and all.

So, should I see a doctor about this? Or is this completely normal?

As soon as you feel that you are outside of what you consider normal then you should investigate your circumstance.

I've read through your other posts and cannot stress enough the importance of first speaking with your GP and making and taking a plan of action that will help you manage your thoughts. Society is full of pressures and you need help.
