Am I Depressed? Or is it Something Else?

Question

I really don't know.

I've changed eating patterns and sleeping patterns. I want to be lonley... and I have a hard time believing anyone cares. I don't believe that people are kind too easily to others. I've grown to expect only the worst side of people to show to me.

I don't think I have any real friends... I don't even have too many...

I'm tired all day... I just really want to just fall asleep or something... something, at least. And for some reason I feel like I'm carrying a burden - like there's a weight resting on my shoulders every second of the day.

I never told anyone. I don't even know if I really AM depressed.

But, I'd really like to know. I've been like this for 2 years now. Something has to change... even for me...... right.....?

Answer 1

In any case, keep in mind that you're not alone. Millions of people have gone through what you're going through, including myself.

It would be a good idea to seek some sort of professional help, but if you don't feel comfortable with it, then don't.. as of now.

I suggest picking up a new hobby, or any activity that has you constantly moving, thinking, or keeping your mind off depression or your feelings.  Exercising is a great way to do that, since it really builds your physical body as well as your mental health.

But really, the choice is up to you to take action and better your life. We can only tell you so much. Good luck mate (=

Sounds like depression.  Pity you wont go to a doctor they may be able to help prevent it from getting worse.  You could otherwise try natural remedys.
