Depression? symptoms?

I think im becoming depressed and i was wondering if anyone else had been depressed, and what does it feel like.

I believe its a few things going on in my life. First off, my living situation ( i live at home) sucks. My parents are idiots, i dont have privacy let alone a bedroom to dwell in. My job is average, which is why i live at home, im planing on becoming an apprentice, which im currently working on. I just had an injury, which is causing me to take a break from lifting. My diet is becoming poor because lack of motivation to lift. My relationship with my gf is sucking (but thats a whole different story) and i stopped smoking pot, for the new job. My house as a whole is torn apart, because of my lazy dad, and it has been for 6 years. We have a house with 5 bedrooms, 3 of which are torn apart. the whole upstairs are opened up and wrecked. Its just a bunch of little things that add up...

How am i feeling? kind of lazy and not caring. But physically, kind of fatigued, muscle aches and pains. i felt like i was getting sick, but no illness.

I just went for a bike ride and i felt great! not tired and full of energy, now im back in my room and i just want to sleep.

I think im just in a slump and i want to break free.


im obviously not going to take medicine, unless its green, haha.

Help me out EF community, am i battling depression?

Depression is just a term the pharmaceutical industry uses to sell you medication.

Well, i believe i feel this way because of all this crap/stress im dealing with...

Maybe the term i should have used was stressed out. I think ive been doing a good job so far, but now im just breaking down. :(
 
LOL puddle............... real depression sucks..... and there are so many symptoms...... why do you think I act the way I do. But I went beyond depression.. I have a psychotic issue that now plagues me for life. I lost my family, my belongings, just about everything. But I have learned that I still have my dignity, and if I can keep that and keep on the up, everything is gonna be alright. One sign of depression, this post is a classic example. Here you asked a question and I go on about myself.......... yeah..... hmmmmmmmm
 
man, i would rather be poor as shit, eating only tuna and ramen, than live at my parents place.

you are too old to be living there. move out.
 
im always here to talk..you should go and be arond people you are surrounded with that aprreciate who you are....anti-depressants helped me...they are hard on you..you sound like you are still young...if you ever need to talk man pm me.

Well, ya. I hope the things im going for/working on happen. Thats what i mean by fall into place.

I cant move out. How can i afford it? i dont want to struggle, that doesnt make sense.
 
struggling is sooooo much better than being under your parents roof.

i don't have tons of expendable income right now, but that is because i paying almost two tuition's right now, on top of everything else in life (rent, car, insurance, etc, etc). i also just dumped nearly $2000 into a side project i am working on in hopes of payoff two years from now.

struggling is what makes you appreciate the things you have.
 
Do you have thoughts of suicide?
Do you want to cut yourself off from loved ones or life in general?
Do you feel the need to cry all the time?

dont worry bout the k message, happens all the time....

Do you take St Johns Wort or anything? (That's the herb for depression, right?) I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I mean, I totally believe there's a place for medication, but although I've been mildly depressed before, I dont want any sort of a medical record (hippa or not) that could possibly jeopardize my chances for future employment or anything. I know it's supposed to be private, but still......no thanks. Seems the best thing for me when I'm down is exposure to people. Certain ones.
 
Just like smoking pot, AD's aren't going to solve your problems but they will make you feel better!

Seriously though, they best way to work through that hard times, it to write down everything that is bothering you about your life, then write down what you need to do to solve your problems. Look at your list every day, and work towards solving your problems everyday. When you complete an objective, it will feel awesome to cross it off your list and move on to the next problem. Before you know it, you will have everything you want it life. Good Luck, stay positive and keep moving forward.

Also, remember the right hand rule!

St John's Wort has been proven effective in some and not in others. Just like a medication.

You can also try SAMe or L Theanine. I am using some L Theanine along with diet and exercise.
My depression is related directly to my health though. Lupus and Lyme are both illnesses that cause inflammation and inflammation has a direct link to depression.I'm also peri menopausal which is messing with my hormones real bad!

I've been using Tumeric to lower inflammation and it seems to help.

Do you know the cause of your depression?

Then use thoughts to change your patterns.
There is a book I read a long time ago called "Depression is a Choice"
Sounds patronizing, but it makes a ton of sense.
The woman who wrote it is a therapist who has bi polar as does her entire family.

That one book made me realize how we perpetuate much of our own depression. Change your thoughts, change your thinking.

Of course there are physical causes of depression as well, and that is when it's imperative to heal the body as well as the mind

try to remind yourself this is only temporary and that it will pass soon, and try to accept your feelings of sadness, don't try to fight them, that voice that tells you how fucked up this is only makes it worse, by accepting the current state you are in and reminding yourself this is only temporary and it soon will pass and just being present, you lighten the feelings up and are not weighed down by the current state... and remember if you don't get depressed sometimes in your life, then you are not really alive... I know there is little solace in this, but it does help a little.
 
sometimes i cry, haha.

I duno, im just moody, and all over the place. but fuck it. me and my gf had plans, shes 'sick' so im going out and im going to mingle. i feel pretty good, as of now...
