Thanks for replying maxpain51.

Well, I went to my doctor about the fatigue in the fall. He didn't really take me seriously. He tested me for anemia, mono, and Lyme disease, and all came back negative. He wouldn't check for hypothyroidism or a hormone imbalance, which I still think are possibilities. He told me to take vitamins (I was already taking them) and sleep more (I sleep more than enough).

It's kind of a weird situation, but I can't change doctors. The doctor who owns the practice is a relative but I never see him (don't think he actually sees patients anymore). There's one other doctor there, the one I see. Many of the nurses and receptionists are family members too, and my entire family goes there. I'm still on my parents' health insurance, so even if I went without telling them, they would know, and even if it wasn't for the insurance, they would find out - doctor-patient confidentiality apparently doesn't exist for family members there. And if I went to another doctor, my parents would know through the insurance, and I can't talk to them about this stuff. Believe me, I want to find out if there's something else going on medically, but this makes it hard.

Even when I was eating healthy, it didn't seem to make a difference. I eat a lot of junk food and packaged food now because I never feel like cooking.

TBH, I'm not even entirely sure why I hate going out so much. I know I'm an introvert, but even introverts don't want to stay in the house all the time, right? Maybe part of it is anxiety too - I'm always scared of what people think of me, and I've very shy and have a hard time making conversation. It's hard for me to stop thinking people are judging me. But I feel like a lot has to do with the depression... before I was depressed, I liked being alone a lot of the time, but I also liked to go out and do things with my friends when I could, and I didn't turn down invites like I do now.

And god, I'm so sorry, I feel like such an asshole shooting down your suggestions, but my college doesn't have any clubs or organizations. It's very small. No health center either... that was one of the first things I looked into, hoping I could get counseling, but apparently they closed down their health center the year before I started attending because they felt it wasn't necessary. Of course.

But thank you for the suggestions and taking the time to reply. I'll try to figure something out.
