Have you seen a doctor?

No, I haven’t. I wasn’t sure whether it was just a passing thing. I think I should get some expert advice though…

Thank you very much for responding. I know how this site works, usually when someone posts with an actual problem you get something like 20 views and 1 reply, only because most people are afraid to respond. I have an account but because I think this is serious I haven’t used it to post.

Hey there. I totally understand what you mean. If you continue to feel like this maybe sit and really think if anything has happened lately that was traumatic to you, a big change or something just as life altering. I know for me, that’s what happened. If you continue to become less able to concentrate, or disinterested etc., maybe talk to someone who may be able to help. Until then, feel free to chat here. I understand where you are coming from.
Take Care.

Thank you a lot, I really appreciate your help. I’ll give it a couple weeks and see how it goes. I’ve heard that sometimes talking to friends is better than the help that a psychiatrist can give. I guess if it doesn’t go away I’ll give doc a call.

I am new to this forum but I would love to help and I am not sure when you wrote this problem and if you still open your account here but anyhow I would like to say with a lot of sincerity and love do read your Holy Book and visit your place of worship because ultimately it is Allah swt or as you may say God who will help us!

That helps too. Just remember that on occasion, friends may try very hard to understand and you may still feel down. It’s hard as friends sometimes to help as much as we’d like you know? Your idea is great. Try chatting with friends and seeing how you feel. Take moments to walk a little or workout if you are able to. That helps me! =)

Maybe you need to take a break or a holiday and get away from it all. It sounds like you need more excitement in your life.
