What's happening with me?

[Janani78]

I am a 1st year architecture student. For past two months I couldn't understand what is going with me.I am sleeping alot.I have secluded myself from my friends. I don't feel like doing my college work.And sometimes I cry out of fear when I question myself about what is happening to me.I can't figure out if this is depression or that I dislike my course

Welcome Janani78 to this supportive community. It is a good first step to have posted here. We are sorry that you are struggling at the moment. Maybe it would be a good idea to talk things through with your doctor in the first instance and perhaps a counsellor at the university. First year at college can be overwhelming with a lot of new things and people to get used to. Have your family or friends noticed the change in you? Keep posting here and I'm sure the community members will share their similar experiences with you also. Take a look around the site, in particular at the pinned posts where there is lots of useful information.

Take Care

I agree with Nurse. I did have depression from later at secondary school,UK and into uni but it was diagnosed. It's just something I am accustomed to I don't think too much about it like a label. If there are particular parts of your work you are struggling with please speak to a tutor. Pm anytime.
