jersy
Lately, i laugh even with stupid things that maybe aren`t to laugh. Sometimes i don`t want to laugh but i can`t control myself. I am feeling inside so lonely even why i have many people around me, i try to be interested in learning but i have problems with concentration, i am not motivated and inspired. It`s like, simply i live with no vision, with no desire for living. I want to change really and do things with desire but i can`t do it. I can`t feel a force that give me hope to live, simply i can`t turn on the force that was before inside me.

Depression is certainly what your description sounds like to me, as well, and I agree wholeheartedly with pythonlover that you need to talk to someone who can help you move through the depression and/or provide medical treatment that will help.
Depression CAN be a result of hormonal or other chemical imbalances, requiring medicine. Mine is, and when I am not taking my medication (a very low dose at that), I find it hard to be motivated to even get out of bed. I WANT to do so many things, but I just can't muster the energy or enthusiasm. The medication I take doesn't put me in "lala land", but just helps me "keep my head above water" and get things done.
You always impress me as a bright young woman with a lot of character and quality. I do hope you are successful in talking with someone who can help you get through this rough time. Keep us posted on your progress, as you definitely have friends who care about you here.

Hi there Jersy. The way you describe your feelings tells me you may be suffering with depression. Depression involves feelings of sadness and emptiness or a loss of pleasure or interest in things. Have a talk with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis.

This article contains a lot of good reading about depression, which as the other members here have suggested, could be what you are experiencing. You may have some of these symptoms but not necessarily all of them. Read and then discuss with your doctor or perhaps a counsellor. I hope this will help you.

Oh jersy, I'm sorry your depression is getting in the way of your life.
Your words could have been written by me several years ago. I went to a psychologist and told him that the house seemed to be dark even when it wasn't dark and even with the lights on. It sounds strange, but that was the way I felt and he understood!
Like some others, I took antidepressant medicine and after awhile I started to feel much better. I hope you'll stay on this board and let us know how you're doing. You're so bright and have much to offer others.
I will probably fight Depression all my life. But now I know there is a way to get around it ... a way to get over it even. We're here for you. xxx
