Is it depression or something else?

[Anonymous]

I am an 18 year old girl. I can't get out of bed and can't concentrate on my studying. I am trying but I can't. I am a freshman at university and I am trying to make friends and find a boyfriend (I never had one and I really want one). I am an ambivert with introverted tendencies and shy. I don't have confidence and I get easily dissapointed. When I tell my mom I think that I feel I have mild depression she says that I am just lazy and grumpy. Sometimes I feel happy and then awfully sad. I also feel lonely and tired to do anything.

It sounds like a small case of depression, but not as bad as that come. You could go see a doctor and try to get something for it, or just try and work through it. Both could work

Talk to a counselor. You could have a number of things, one of which comes to mind is actually anxiety.

I think you are right. I do feel very anxious and I can't relax. I think I should start a hobby, like a sport, to release the tension that builts up.

Anxiety is not treated through expenditure. Generally speaking it's better treated through control methods so while playing sports can be a method it's for the discipline not for the activity level.

Thank you very much :)

No it isn't depression. Depression is something very bad. I had, I knew. :/

i can see that you're depressed. go make new friends, like not from school but from somewhere else. do some social activities and come in touch with different people..

I can agree with the depression but you need to love yourself first! Don't be seeking a boyfriend, you don't need one. They cannot fulfill your needs. You do that for yourself. But do see a counselor, they can help let you sort out your thoughts.

Your mom is a bout correct there, but in other cases, you're not depressed, don't worry. :)
