Depressed and disinterest
I have become completely depressed and nothing seems to excite me. I feel like I have been crying too much and sleeping too much. Moreover I depend on somebody for my emotional happiness and I find very difficult to make new friends. I not self motivated and have anxiety problems sometimes. More over I have started to keep most of the people away from me. I feel like a lonely person now. Sometimes I'm normal, happy when I'm with someone I know cares about me otherwise I sit at home and cry. I have become extremely under confident. I'm not liking myself. I don't have any social life and am distant from most people. Im afraid I will not be able to continue studying at college as I'm scared to alone without any friends at college. This has led me to fail one of my exams also. I feel helpless and always dependent on someone for my confidence.

It seems you are studying in college and cannot focus on studies due to your pervasive low mood. Also, your social life is affected remarkably. If the duration and severity of feeling lonely, helpless, hopeless and decreased self esteem is too long and if it's disturbing your routine life then you should seek professional help which includes medicines from psychiatrist and psychological counselling. Secondly, you can do certain things for yourself. For example, everyday you need to write in a nice diary, at least three good or positive things happened to you ( you can write more then three)e.g. Making up phone call to some old friend, caring about family, cooking food at home, helped someone etc. Also, try to see some positivity or positive options in your negative life situations. This will change your perspective to look towards life and writing down three good things will bring optimism in your life. Finally, you need to write down the factors that make you dependent and try to analyse the reason behind each factor. Now just try to cut down each dependency factor one by one, slowly, over the period of time so that you can able to do whatever you can do for yourself. After eliminating even a small dependency of yours try to appreciate your efforts by treating yourself something you like. Enjoy your own company by making a new creative hobby, try to learn new things and always try to focus on what you can do rather whatever you cannot!

Hello, have you been feeling this way for a long time or is it recent? Is there some stress at home or in college? Have you talked to friends and family about how you are feeling? What you have described sounds like a depressive episode. A psychiatrist will be able to diagnose and provide treatment.
Next Steps
See a psychiatrist as soon as possible.

Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately. Try some relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and deep breathing. Indulge in hobbies. Spend time with people close to you.
