I'm not really sure where this would go, but I need to know if what I'm feeling is normal.

A couple of months ago, I guess you could say that I looked depressed. I sounded it, and I looked it. I even used to lock myself in my room listening to music until the empty feeling inside my stomach would go away.

But now, I'm not sure what I feel. I'm happy when I'm with my friends, but I don't feel like I have many, nor am I that close with them. I only see them at school.

I've even gotten more social. Instead of getting everyone off my back as soon as possible, I'll most likely talk to them for at least a little bit. I'm also less nervous during public speaking or anything of the sort. But, the difference is that I just don't seem to care anymore. My attention span is horrible, and I can't consentrate on ANYTHING.

I want to care though. School used to be such a big part of my life. I used to dedicate all my time to succeding at my projects and assignments. Now, I finish them quicky or leave them for the last minute. All I do is fantasize about how I wish my life were. You know, the whole I want to be beautiful, and be dating _____, the hottest musician alive, and be a rockstar type thing.

The thing that's getting me really worried is that, yesy, I don't feel depressed anymore. But now I don't know what to de with myself. I don't feel like crying all the time, which I guess is good, but not even music makes me happy anymore, and it's freaking me out.

When I felt bad, I at least knew what to do with myself, but now I'm clueless. I'm not even sure if this is normal or not.

Please, if someone knows what I can do to get back to my old self, help.

You might just be going through a transition period, which is a normal part of growing up. Try taking up new hobbies and listening to different music and see if that sparks an interest.
Other wise if you're losing interest in things you used to find enjoyable, then that may be a sign of depression but I would maybe speak to a school counsellor about that if the first suggestion doesn't work.

we all get a little depressed sometimes. i know you want to get back to your old self, but sometimes you just need to let your body tell you what to do. i'd just run with it and see where you end up. if you don't like where you end up, try to go back to places you used to enjoy, and see if you enjoy them again.

I'm like that now. I think it is a transition. I wish I could help, but I'm just the same.
Anyway, know that you're not alone.

You should try to do your activities you did before you got into this depressed mode. Try hanging out with old friends, try being more active and outdoors.
