What's wrong with me?

General
I have no idea what's going on with me. I've been nothing but depressed for the past ....well for ages. And lately it's just been getting worse. T.T It's to the point I can't even sleep. I think I've gotten a total of maybe 9 hours of sleep in the past three days. (Two last night, Three the night before, and four the night before that). I don't even know how I'm sitting here typing right now to be honest. I'm so beat.
It might be the lack of sleep but I'm so unmotivated to draw or do anything. Which sucks because A) I have commissions I'm trying to catch up on and B) I want to make stuff to sell at Otakon's Art Show since I didn't get a table in the Alley. Uuuuugh. And on top of all that I have to pack because we're moving again on August 1st. But there will be two weekends where I can't pack because I'm going away on vacation, so I have to get most of it done now.
Geez now I'm depressed AND stressed out.
Plus, my dad's would-be birthday is next Tuesday. I miss him a lot. ... such is life I guess.
Well hopefully I'll bounce back soon. If not I might just crack >.> See you on the funny farm!

RPGs are a bad choice. Guitar Hero/Rock Band are bad too, if you're at the point where you don't need to concentrate. I tried playing Fallout 3 when I was depressed...good god that was a bad idea. Forget the setting itself, but the fact you're walking through a wasteland with the only way to pass he time being to think to yourself, it just helps you dwell on whatever it is that's troubling you.
Get a good FPS game, or a sandboxer like Prototype or Saints Row, perhaps. Maybe a beat-em-up.
But thanks.

There might be more going on than you're willing to admit to yourself.
And, if its really so bad its affecting your life, see a counselor. He/she will probably give you some prozac (psychiatrists these days). That helped me back when I was in high school, though in the weirdest way. Suddenly, everything that had been welled up through my past came pouring out one night, and I was basically crying myself to sleep. But, hey, I felt alot better afterwards. :P Since then, depression has been very rare.
Welp, hope you can cheer up.

so heres what you should do. RELAX. forget about what needs to get done and give yourself a moment to breath and to regain your energy. eat some cookies take a giant bubble bath and watch your favorite movie (as long as its not a tear jerker) and you should bounce back quick and with a smile.
and if that dont work go give some chump a nice swift kick in the ass. here ill help *turns around and bends over sticking his rump out while giving you a thumbs up* fire away
But yes with so many things to keep up with it gets hard. Currently I'm in school, have a full time job, plus commissions, and trying to plan my wedding... Just try to look on the bright side of things.
Thanks for the suggestions.
It's best not to let something possibly stressful make your depressing moment worse...
See friends too! They can help! ^_^
Hope ya feel better
Also, Laugh! Laughter will exhaust you... so watch some funny YouTube stuff.
You need to take some time for yourself and relax in a a nice hot bath , Go for walk in a park, have a nice dinner, play video game ,or go for a bike ride with a friend.
You just kinda stuck in a rut. ^v^ And you trying to do to many thing too fast and soon! Your body wants to go ahead to get it over with.
^v^ Your not depress But you feel like is! Trust me Take a nice hot bath with lovely nice music playing will help a whole lot!
The scenery is irrelevant. Just getting some mild exercise, especially in sunlight, is a great pick-me-up.
I hate to see like that
you're so great
smile Jen
Hot bathes, with fav music, quiet time, or even just watchin TV could help a bit! Just keep yourself motivated with long, but un-stressful activities like biking and such.
(I've been literally and perscribbed under mental and emotional depression for 6 monthes and I'm freakin happy person, now! The lights's at the END of the tunnel, not the middle or begining!)
Sorry if thats no help to yah Jen, I do hope your slump rolls out soon~
Anyways, if you're having this much problems, I suggest the same as the others - playing a game to get things off your mind, listen to some music to sooth your mind, that sort of thing. Maybe watch a movie?
I hope you feel better, Jen. I really miss seeing you happy. It kinda pains me to see you like this. I'm scared you're going to do something you'll regret, and it worries me a lot. Please, for your sake, trying following what the others are suggesting. I'm sure it'll help out a lot. It would for me. :3
I miss you.
I have only these tipps for you:
- try to sleep for 8 pm
- when you came late back from your work don't go on your computer. This is a big distraction(?)
- read a book or something else. Something which is boring. So it would be easier to sleep.
- if nothing helps go to a docter or try to be a proband. So you get help and money. XD
good luck
