From your profile, I note that you are ; " working on a Bachalor degree in Avation Science."

Good luck!
Given that you can't even spell "Bachelor" or indeed "Aviation", I suggest you stop wasting your time and give up now.

...Back to lickin sis.

The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.”

He lied. As soon as the going got tough, Jesus buggered off.

Where is he when innocent children die in Iraq, Palestine, Indonesia, etc, etc ad nausea?

Because I have been busy up until now with work for uni, I will now go back, before the arguement, and read what you said.

However, there are recognised post-viral syndromes which can lead to depression, lack of motivation and headaches in the fittest of people.
Did you have a cold, or flu which triggered the whole thing?

Well that is your opinion and everyone has one of their own.

I didn't have a cold at the start of it as it has been with my most of my life. It was very rare I felt ill when I was younger but I did have a few feelings like it, then as I got older and the more I became aware of things that were going on around me the worse it got. The last three and a bit years has when it has been completely like it all the time and it has got so bad at the moment I can't go out.

Been reading H.G. Wells though.

Invisible Man, Island of Dr Moreau, short stories and of course The Time Machine.

One day I will give "A Modern Utopia" a go it is sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me after I have finished everything I am reading.
my apologies for my literary blunder. the wells are truly deep subjects.

Have you had your spine and neck checked by a chiropracter?

I notice you mention "hayfever hell". This and depression could be related to a trapped or restricted nerve in the neck if you suffered a traumatic birth, or fell over as a child.

Dear oh dear!

This suggestion is ill-informed, irresponsible and simply dangerous.

Worse than that it is also completely wrong.

All kids fall over when they are young though and not everybody is like this now. I do have bad hayfever and I have had a few bad experiences when I was young, when I nearly drowned at 2yrs old, and smacked my head on a fire place when I was 6, but I doubt they can be the cause of something like this.

expressive, the only way to find peace and happiness is outside yourself. i know this is completely contradictory to what others are saying. you are not alone in looking for happiness. we all are. every person is looking for satisfaction. and we are all dissatisfied with the way things are going in our lives. some would say, "look within." what do you find when you do that? others say, "look to others." i don't know about you experiences, but people always let me down when i hang my happiness on them. i say, "look to God." the bible says that all who trust in Him will never be dissappointed. it's not wrong to seek happiness. the bible makes it clear that that is exactly what we were created for. joy. but the greatest source of joy and satisfaction is God Himself. after all, he is the happiest Being in the universe. the bible say that God sits on His throne and does all that He PLEASES. read psalm 16:11. c.s. lewis says that its not that our desires are too strong (that we're not happy), but that they are too weak. we place our desires on too simply and unsatisfying things like food, drink, sex, debates, etc. all of which are good in their own right but are not ultimately satisfying. any completely honest person must say that food is temporary satisfaction. they will be hungry again. drink is temporary satisfaction. they will be thirsty again. sex is temporary satisfaction. they will be horney again. etc. look to God in the person of Jesus Christ. He can and will satisfy your deepest need. joy. Christ, for the JOY set before Him, endured the cross for your sake. take JOY in Him.

The fall onto a fireplace could be the cause. Have you ever had a CAT scan on the brain?
