0:00:01.909,0:00:05.389
I started finding it really hard to get up in the mornings

0:00:06.239,0:00:10.539
and despite feeling really tired during the day, I just couldn't sleep at night.

0:00:12.159,0:00:14.939
I lost motivation for a lot of things,

0:00:17.120,0:00:19.290
even normal everyday activities, I just

0:00:20.149,0:00:21.690
found it too difficult and I

0:00:22.239,0:00:23.530
just couldn't be bothered to do it.

0:00:24.729,0:00:27.989
And the things that I used to really love, like reading and

0:00:28.559,0:00:31.079
going out with friends, I just couldn't be bothered with anymore.

0:00:32.039,0:00:34.758
I used to consider myself quite a sociable person.

0:00:35.388,0:00:40.499
I was on the university netball team and was always going out with my teammates

0:00:41.048,0:00:43.738
and people from my course, often to arena.

0:00:45.049,0:00:49.529
But I just couldn't be bothered to socialize.

0:00:50.209,0:00:54.049
Spent a lot more time on my own in my room,

0:00:54.830,0:00:57.369
only really coming out when I had to.

0:01:00.009,0:01:04.230
I just was avoiding people all the time. My friends and my family,

0:01:06.440,0:01:09.980
my relationship with my boyfriend, I felt quite strained as well.

0:01:11.410,0:01:13.809
He told me that I'd changed,

0:01:14.110,0:01:16.910
that I'd become distant and boring,

0:01:18.620,0:01:23.589
which, made me feel even worse because I didn't know why

0:01:23.599,0:01:25.699
I was feeling the way I was feeling anyway.

0:01:27.319,0:01:28.900
I just felt really alone

0:01:30.690,0:01:33.279
and of no use to anybody else.

0:01:35.309,0:01:36.919
I used to do quite well at UNI,

0:01:37.379,0:01:40.599
I worked hard, got quite good grades

0:01:41.699,0:01:44.480
but motivation just went.

0:01:46.900,0:01:50.120
I wasn't meeting deadlines because I couldn't concentrate

0:01:52.449,0:01:57.669
and I lost my appetite as well. I just wasn't interested in eating,

0:01:58.360,0:01:59.930
didn't feel like eating.

0:02:01.000,0:02:02.059
so, I lost weight.

0:02:03.199,0:02:07.339
I know, generally just wasn't caring about my appearance.

0:02:08.000,0:02:11.580
And things like washing my hair and putting on makeup and wearing nice clothes.

0:02:11.589,0:02:15.399
I just couldn't be bothered with, didn't seem worth doing.

0:02:17.369,0:02:21.509
And I think it was the physical changes that alerted

0:02:21.839,0:02:24.830
friends and family to the fact that something was wrong.
