Is this depression????

Question

lately i havent been excited about any upcoming events in my life..

even like little dinners with friends, or meeting with the boyfriend, or anything.

im never looking that forward to it, really, its just.. there.

i also havent been sleeping right lately, ive been going to bed at 4 am and waking up at like 12.. and then being so lazy cos i dont sleep well.

however, when i think of my future, going into university etc, i get REALLY excited, and just a wind of happyness.

so i know im not totally hopeless..

could this be because of my sleeping habits?

also, i have absolutely no history of this, and ive never really been like this before ever.

is this just a little temporary phase in my life?

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

In order to diagnose Major Depression, you have to have at least 4 criteria such as depressed mood, poor sleep, lack of enjoyment of life, change in appetite, poor energy... for at least 2 month period.  Also, if you think of ending your life, it is also an idicator of depression.  

Answer 3

It might just be anxiety. Talk to a doctor. It never hurts to go to a therapist.  

Answer 4

You sound more casually bored than depressed. Ive had this too.  

Answer 5

Yes all of the above are signs of depression, try to do an autoexam and detect what things may be affecting you... the important thing is that since you are posting these here you are most likely willing to get out of that depression and work on it! If you can try to go to some therapist and talk to him/her about your problem!

Answer 6

You are somewhat depressed so to speak. This is normal, everyone gets depressed now a days at some time in their life.

If this continues to be a problem, please go seek some help and make an appt. with a doc. There are also help lines or crisis lines you can call and speak with someone. This will blow over eventually, just remember tomorrow is a NEW day and try (I know it's hard) to look at the upside of things, life could be so much worse.

Wishing you all the best and all the happiness you deserve. ;o)
