Life is so slow when I feel unhappy. I don't do anything, I don't go see anyone, I feel tired, fatigued, I sit there. I can't do anything constructive, my mind is just numb. It hurts. I took an antidepressant but it just doesnt make me do anything. i feel like i cant control my own life, and that i have very few friends.

Well. I'm glad your'e discussing your problems on mylot, where you are completly anonymous and you can get the best answers from millions of people. Anyways, taking pills is not going to do the trick, you just need some fresh air. So why not go to some restaraunt you heard is popular or a nice movie would do the trick.
And for your friends problem, try finding some at the place you work or get in a realationship with your friend's freinds.

Life does seem to go slower when you are unhappy.
But, it is good to know that most people go through these stages in life.
The one medicine you can try is do what I do.
Even though I don't want to go out, don't want to see friends ect,
I do it anyway.
Conclusion: I forget I was unhappy. Once your out the door, you feel better.
It is hard when you just wake up. You don't feel like taking a shower or getting
dressed.
Normal things are just to much.
But, when you train yourself to do it anyway, you feel better.
Don't think about not wanting to, just do.
By the way, antidepressant did not help me either.
This site has a good influence on me, maybe it is good for you too:

Thanks everyone. I know what everyone means, I do feel better when i do some social activities with friends or other people. When im alone by myself im completely distraught, i feel really lonely, i feel like noone likes me or im cut off from everyone. I don't even know if its depression or social anxiety also, because sometimes when i ring someone and they say they are busy or they can't come meet me, i wonder if they dont like me, or if someone doesn't reply to my email. I freak out. Yeah, and I do make myself do the normal things, I have a list, and I get through it, but sometimes im just so overwhelmed, the moment i start thinking about my life or its problems, it makes me feel unhappy because i dont know how to go about solving them...

Don't lock yourself in your house. Go out, do things. I have been having alot of marriage problems lately and I am very depressed. I have been seeing a therapist who saved my life. You have to push yourself to get dressed and go out. You will feel alot better once you are out doing things. Antidepressants take a couple of weeks to start working. I stopped them. I push myself to do things. Once you have your mind busy on something you will feel better.

Have you ever looked into avoidant personality disorder.I recently came across this online and was amazed that there were people that think like I do.I tend to dwell on these things and yes the thought themselves make me depressed I couldn't believe how much better I felt just finding other people who think like this.If I am at work and people are whispering I swear it is about me,I will think about this,try to decide what they were saying and lose sleep over it.I to think people don't like me if they say they are busy when I call,or put me on hold and then come back and say "oh I have to take this call"Hmm I always think the other caller bailed her out so she didn't have to talk to me anymore.
I have been on many antidepressants and never found they worked,I am on another medication now that they say works well with antidepressants and the two together are supposed to help.The medication is called abillify,I did not think this would work,the psychiatrist said it would help with those thoughts I have and make it so I don't dwell on things so much.I am happy to say that it has done wonders,it truly has calmed down those thoughts so now I am not focussed all the time on how people don't like me and all the negative things I was dwelling on.By not thinking like that constantly it has really helped put me in a better mood.I have been leaving my house a little more for more then just work.I work in a place where I only deal with 3 people all day because I can never stand to many people at the same time it can be very overwhelming.
I hope this helps some,you might want to talk with your doc about taking abillify with your antidepressant maybe it will help you to.
Good luck,
Fresh air helps but I find blasting my music can lift my spirits to.

Yeah I didn't know that! That does sound a bit like me.
When i hear people on the street laugh, my first response is, I wonder if they're laughing at me, even tho I know they aren't (since there was no reason to).
And I linger over lots of problems, and if i cant solve them, or dont know which decision is best, it just goes around in a circle.
Thanks, yeah and music helps. And friends make me feel better just by talking to them
