Am I considered depressed?

[VicTusDeuS]

My life doesn’t seem too bad by anyone else’s standards yet I have this over all feeling of gloom in my life. Like there is always a cloud hanging over me and I don’t know why. Sometimes this cloud isn’t there and I’m ok, but then other times it just is there. I cannot explain but I have more feelings of not good than feelings of good. They come and go. Anyone understand?

You are doing what is called the 'roller coaster.'

The roller coaster being your emotions.

Is it typically the same person or problem that effect's your mood or is it constantly changing?

And... if you care to explain... why are you down right now?

My life doesn’t feel complete. I always feel as if I am missing out on something. It could be anything that gets me down. Just regular stuff I get. It’s mostly when I have nothing to look forward to that gets me down. Most of the time it’s girls, school, work. Sometime I just make myself work all too much just to get my mind off of things. But its been on and off like this for at least a year. Sometimes things get a little better but I havnt truly been happy for the longest time. I hang in knowing that eventually (hopefully) things will change to make me forget about all the bad things but sometimes it seems endless. If I had the chance to just stop everything now and just continue on starting over I would take that chance in a heartbeat.

You probably had some fake shit, LOL

I don't see how any male could be depressed on 500 mg of test a week!

My life doesn’t feel complete.

Your life will be complete when its over...its not a race its a marathon, enjoy the journey, enjoy the ups the downs and whatever, accomplish one thing at a time, don't so damn consumed with having everything done cause it will NEVER happen. Girls, school, work, all that shit during its ups and downs are what make us appreciate what we have and knowing the difference between a good day and a bad day...so cheer up brotha and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

That is of course its clinical in which case you should see a doctor

Damn Vic, if your life is run like your location, maybe you bite off too much and need to reassess your goals. Get them shorter term and get a hobby you can focus on. That might help ya.

Well Vic... we're gonna have to dig a little deeper here... you don't have to get personal on the thread if you don't want to, just yourself.

What do you want to stop? What areas in your life are unfulfilled? No girlfriend? No career? No friends? School suck?

If you could start over today... what would you want? The question then is... what is it that you feel you are missing, and given the chance to attain whatever it is... what would it be? Right here, right now... decide what it is that you are missing.

Every morning you wake up and roll out of bed Vic... you have the chance to start over. It's true. The decision's you make today, effect tomorrow. It's never too late to start going after what you want. And, if you know what it is that you want, and do you best to attain it every day... the only conclusion is a happy one... a brighter tomorrow.

However, if you never realize what is that you want... and never work towards that purpose, and just assume that the decision's made yesterday are done and final, unable to be changed... how could you expect to ever attain happiness?

You could use a weekend with just you and Mary Jane in the mountains to contemplate your ideas and life. That always helps.

I cant explain whats bothering me. Its just something and i want it to go away. I hate school, i see it as a burden but I always have and I hate it no more than the next guy. I have some really good friends but I dont think they would understand any of this. Im sure they know somethings up cause Im not as lively as I used to be. I dont know what I want to do when I graduate school. I have a few months left and I dont know if i want to send te rest of my life locked away in an office away from the world. I like being around people and always having someone to talk to. I do need a vacation though. For the last couple of years Ive done nothig but work, go to school and work some more. During our semester breaks such as the winter and summer I was going to class as well. I havnt been on a real vacation in years. I cant remember the last time I left the state other than go to the city or something, which is like part of NJ anyways its so close.
