such things as watching anime, collecting, playing games, going to work, cleaning and even ASing have lost an interest to me.
That's the first sign of acute depression. (serious depression occurs when you've felt the same way for at least 2 weeks straight... see a doctor)

perhaps its because my life is too centered around anime.
ive recently finished watching alot of anime like suzuka and shuffle and others, and im just not satisfied with the endings anymore.
That's the first sign of a newly added mental illness called Anime Addiction. Get yourself an AA meeting quick!! * AA = yup, you guessed it, Anime Anonymous... if there's no a location near you... go to the nearest and next convention

-but there is nothing for me to be depressed about. at least nothing i can think of.
In a big percentage of cases of depression, there usually is no outside reason. It could be a chemical imbalance inside your brain... you're not producing enough serotonin and norepinephrine (the two chems that procude "happy feelings.") A doctor can prescribe meds that would fix that if that's what he deems to be the problem.

-maybe, i mean, i cant keep doing the things i do forever can i? i need something to look forward to every morning.
A lot of people gave good suggestions. Pyroreca's idea was pretty cool, take a trip somewhere. The change in scenery will do you good. Get some friends together and take a good old fashioned roadtrip to the middle of nowhere. Drive to Nebraska or South Dakota. Or kill two birds with one stone and take a road trip cross country to an anime convention you haven't been to before. Check www.anime-cons.com for more info.

perhaps its because i want so much?
- the thought of wanting things, things i can never have and the reality of which is impacting my life is playing a huge part in this...?
Turn off the tv for a while; seeing all the rich people laugh and play only makes us in the middle and lower classes feel worse about our own situations in life. Material possessions are not the key to happiness (and it pains me to say that with all the crap I own, haha).

for a while now ive been helping others, not just on AS but those around me with their problems, and now its my turn.
i sure hope someone can help me, i dont want this to grip my life.
Depression is considered the "common cold" of psychology. Why? Because over 90% of Americans will experience at some point in their life. Besides all the suggestions I've made and other have too, I say, just find things to occupy your time. Work, volunteer, find new creative hobbies (I used to write sci-fi when I was depressed and lonely... now I'm an executive at an anime convention to keep me busy). Just make sure you talk to friends and family about what's wrong so they can watch out for you in case you take a sudden dive. If you still feel this way in a month or two after trying the suggestions, you should see a shrink.
Good luck! _________________ GTX: Great Teacher Xeno... my daily blog about teaching in an elementary and middle school in Japan (see right-menu)

I'm sorry to hear this Ani_MaSTeR. Usually I have no time any more to mode, but I always try to find the time and sometimes I do. Why don't you try to get involved with other activities other than anime and manga?Try doing something that you like. Take a road trip and get your mind off of things or voluteer for something meaningful. This isn't much, but hopefully it can help a bit.

I've gone through and read allthe posts becuase i wasnt sure what to say but i definetly know what your going through. Myabe you have to change if so make it for the better. Or you can try to find other things that made you happy in the past or things havent looked at yet . Either way i think you jus need to get out and away from anime for awhile . Do it the old fashined way go out with some friends or take solo trip somewhere. Myabe seek a religion . Anything that'll get you away from yourself for awhile.
Thanks everyone for all the help, advice and suggestions. It really has helped.
I'm sorry to have worried all of you.
I feel alot better now, aside from the occasional tuffle with my siblings, I feel great.
I guess that the most possible cause of all those symptons I mentioned before was from fatigue and stress.
I've been working a far bit lately, and I've had to get up earlier than I wanted, and not getting enough sleep.
And I had just come home from work that day I posted this.
As for losing interest in anime, I had just finished watching Shuffle! and Suzuka and their endings got me thinking. Particularly Shuffle!'s. It made me realise just how fast I'm going to be old and made me start to question my motality.
When Asa said "we'll be grandpa and grandma one day" I got a reality check and realised that I too will be old one day, and I will have nothing in my footsteps worth appreciating.
I know this is starting to sound corny.
I guess I had a mid-life crisis in my teens'.
But now I'm taking everyday as it comes. Head on and chin-high.
Again, thanks for all the help eveyone, and I apologise again if i worried anyone. _________________ [img:567:138:151453bb6b]http://www.anime-source.com/upload/uploadFiles/wahagifsda.gif[/img:151453bb6b]
