Ever felt lost?

I'm kind of stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment, to be honest. I'm going through a 'dark' phase, I think I'm in love with one of my friends and I'm too scared to ask her out, I feel like I'm not really as accepted as I'd like to be with my main circle of friends, I have trouble sleeping (though that might be due to not going to bed until the early hours of the morning then having to get up early for 9 o'clock lectures), and I'm unsure of what to do with my life (I'm doing a Maths degree and want to be a game developer, but am also torn between my passions for acting, film-making and art. Oh, and writing too. I'm really into the arts at the moment). Plus, I worry about money (I'm a student living on my savings, which have almost run out, and I can't get a part time job).
Right, can anyone point me in the direction of a decent Leeds based psychiatrist?

Well then I guess my only problem is that I just lack motivation to do anything. I mean I get up and get going every morning and go through the motions of the day. Its just when it comes to tests and papers I have a terrible time actually studying or writing. I know my future should be motivation enough but I need something tangible, which I dont have.
My advice would be with your friend, if you feel up to it (or drunk enough), tell he or she how you feel. I know that sounds insane and scary, but trust me, it probably the most healthy thing you can do instead of penting your feelings up. In regards to your degree, if your passion lies elsewhere, then i say follow it. The only reason we carry on living (generally) is because of our dreams. Don't settle for mediocrity, if your sights are set for greater things. Run after those dreams and thoughts, and never let them go. Otherwise, you'll end up regretting a choice you wish you could of changed.Trivun said:
It's not about being nihilistic, this is not a philosophical thread. This is a thread about people venting their feelings on life, mundaneness, post-modernism... well i guess it is whatever you want it to be. But the main function is for "lost" people ( whatever meaning you want to attach to that word) to vent their feelings about their life and society, and know that their written feelings will be read and (hopefully) responded to.CorpBlitz said:
Yes, but I tend to think of Nihilism as a feeling not just a philosophy.
I often don't care about anyone or anything (including myself) and don't think there is any point to existence, and that is exactly how I would describe the feeling.
It's actually why I don't drink alcohol at all. It pretty much puts me in that mood instantly.

Im just going to quote myself from an old thread that I started a few days ago as I dont feel like retyping the whole damn thing.
Well, there it is, almost everything in life that is troubling me right now (there are others, but this is the biggie).handofpwn said:
I've a little something that needs to get off my chest. I'm 15, and I'm currently struggling with figuring out how to admit to my friends that I'm bi. We live in a society that abhors homosexuals, so I'm not sure how exactly to do this. I think I might also love one of my best friends (he's a guy, so the whole bi factor comes up again). Thanks for listening.
