Am I depressed or not?

Question

I've changed. 2 years ago i used to enjoy lots of things, now i dont enjoy doing a lot of things, like playing football, kissing, dancing. why? lack of libido? i've been to several treatments, including anti depressants and acupunture...but none worked. i left it all behind and somehow i think the cure doesnt exist. my personality is different, it's like i dont feel pleasure, i'm another person. but....it might be a clinical disease too. however, been to all exams. what do I do? my dreams of yesterday aren'y my dreams of today anymore, today i have no dreams...cause...nothing makes sense....what's left in me to love? to live? to enjoy? nothing!!!!

Answer 1

It does sound like you are suffering from depression, you tried to get help - and that's the main thing.

The road to recovery is not about finding a cure, but finding a solution. There are lots of options for depression out there, don't give up after the first hurdle because it failed.

If your depression is not improving, your GP may recommend a 'talking treatment' such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which is a problem-solving therapy. You normally have a fixed number of sessions - usually 6-8 sessions over 10-12 weeks. Some GP practises have counsellors specifically to help patients with depression.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is based on the principle that the way we feel is partly dependent on the way we think about things. It teaches you to behave in ways that challenge negative thoughts - for example, being active to challenge feelings of hopelessness.

Good luck.

If you feel hopeless about the future, or if the thought of suicide has crossed your mind, you should contact your doctor urgently.Remember, depression is treatable, and suicide is avoidable.The thing that's really important to recognize is that when you're feeling depressed, everything seems so much worse Good luck to you, I know what you are going through. Hang in there you are not alone.

Answer 5

sounds like you are depressed. i went through the same thing a few years ago. lots of my friends didn't even know because i was still going to work and doing all the day to day things. it took nearly a year of antidepressants and counselling for me to get back to myself. its now four years and i'm doing well and enjoying life. if you stick to meds it should all work out- it took me months before i noticed any difference but it was worth it in the end

Answer 6

You do sound a little depressed, but you might not have depression yet.  Only way to tell would be to see yoru doctor and get a diagnosis.

What it does sound like is that you have lost your way.  Maybe you need to regroup and reconsider where you are and where you want to be.
