I don't know whats wrong with me, if anything, but I feel restless lately. I'm bored with life- I dislike my job (which I'm good at, and pays really well). I do the same thing day in and day out, and I have no desire to search out new projects in the office.
Also, my boyfriend, of 5 years- I've had my off weeks, where I just wonder why I'm with him- and I don't know why! The last 2 months, it's been great. We get along great, I'm happy, we do things, I give him space- and now, this last 2 weeks, I've been clingy and needy- and complain I'm bored whenever I'm around him. If he tries to check his email even, I'm there, harassing him. I dont LIKE myself when I do this, but I can't seem to stop. I don't know what it is I want from him, so how can he? It's not him that changes, it's me.
I thought maybe it was my birth control pills- I switched to a lower dose, and noticed an improvement in mood the first month. it was the second month that i started feeling crazy again. I don't think it's the pills, i think it's me- I've had periods liek this where I just feel liek I don't fit in my skin, and I don't klnow what to do. What the heck is wrong with me?! Am I crazy? Should I see a psychologist or something?

So far you sound perfectly normal to me!
I don't know how old you were when you met your boyfriend, but that's a long time to be with one person and not be married or engaged. It could be that some of your restlessness has to do with being somewhere you've been for 5 yrs and wondering what else life has and wondering if you'll EVER be in a position to find out...

If you're loosing interrest in things, you feel restless, this is a clear sign of depression. I also agree with Ruth about your situation with your boyfriend. I can completely relate. I've been with the same man (we have 2 kids) for 6 years, and still no ring on my finger. I've been hinting to him a lot lately and have even been quit blunt with him "let's get married" but he wants to wait until we have more money. At this rate, it's going to be years before this happends. I get very bored in our relationship because I feel we need to take our relationship to a new level. Hell, we have kids, we live and act married, but still no ring, nothing! Our 4 year old even brings this up constantly, "you and daddy are going to get married tomorrow, right?". Maybe you need to take a look at your relationship and see where you stand.
