Possible depression?: Some symptoms of major depression include sleep problems ( either sleeping too much or too little), loss of interest in activities that were previously enjoyable, guilt, decrease in energy levels and concentration, decrease in appetite slow to get up and do things, suicidal thoughts/plans. If you have these symptoms speak to your doctor immediately especially if long lasting.
