I joined up rowing and archery. My strength and endurance has improved despite the ADs. I've talked to a few people yet im still not happy.I've been incredibly miserable this week and i've not had ONE GOOD DAY AT ALL!! I'm not sleeping well so i miss the rowing training on the mornings which makes me really angry and disappointed.Just right now i came from a bonfire and had no interest at all in speaking to anybody. I got jealous of all the people who were loud and laughing and just having fun. I even saw the girl i had a crush on on the way back home and just said a casual hi.I've put on weight, become better looking and muscular and im still ****ing miserable. I'm just quiet all the time and cant go out and get drunk or even socialise because all i wanna do is just sit in silence on my room. I feel like im looking in at people enjoying life.Everyone i've spoken to has had sex or some sort of encounter with the opposite sex. Justin bieber has even got a girl pregnant. I need to pass my 2nd year so i can do a post grad but right now its just not happening.I'm even attending a group therapy /mediation thing which is supposed to help with anxiety / depression but its not working.WTF do i do? The ADs are suppressing my libido and just making me feel like a zombie but on the plus side im really awake and don't panic as much.

 Make an appointment with your GP - no one here can give you the medical advice you really need, your DOCTOR can however. HE knows YOUR medical history and you.
There might be a medicine that works better for YOU. It could be something as simple as the dosage.
Because benzodiazepines are metabolized slowly, the medication can build up in the body when used over longer periods of time. The result is oversedation.
So, of you go! See your doctor, don't suffer in silence.
And I agree, get outside, try not to coop up.

 Go and speak to your doctor about how you are feeling, be completely open and honest about everything you are feeling and discuss with them what the best path for you would be to go. There are lots of different set up's out there that deal with depression, so there is a lot to offer. Go and discuss your options with your doctors. It can be hard to get out of a rut, but you need to force yourself to go out and about and force yourself to talk to others. Allow yourself the chance to feel happiness. You need to fight this hard. Make sure you get out of the house as much as you can and don't be sitting about the place. Make yourself get up in the morning and get out in the fresh air.
