View Full Version : Could this be depression?
The last few days out of nowhere I have been feeling really down. I went out with my family on Saturday and the whole day I felt really sick and depressed. I didnt even eat half of my lunch as I took a few mouthfuls then felt sick. On Sunday I felt better I had a bit more life in my mood and was eating a bit more. This morning I was sitting in class (Im a student) and was feeling like I didnt want to be here. I was thinking what would I rather be doing now? and all icould think of was nothing I didnt want to be anywhere not even at home and all I wanted to do was be dead.
This really freaked me out because I was just so restless and bored and feeling down but had no desire to do ANYtHING I just wanted to be dead so I didnt feel anything.
Could this be depression? This really scares me, and I know I get PMS really bad but this is just scaring me.
I dont even know who I could talk to about this, I want someone I really like and trust but dont know who.

Sounds like an episode of depression, when I had it, I had a knot in my stomach, felt numb, like there was nothing at all that would make me feel happy.
You should seek help from your doctor, its a horrible thing to deal with alone.
I agree with theharvestmouse,
You should go to your GP and explain how you feel, he should be able to give you all the support and advice that you need right now.
I understand that where you are now is a horrible place to be, I have been there myself.
Seek help!
Thanks you two. I have felt alright today but still have episodes of feeling down. I will see if it goes away first but yeah I agree it is horrible its a feeling I wouldnt wish upon anyone.
I just hope it does go away otherwise I will have to do something about it.
I get this. I just can't seem to look forward to anything right now. It's sad as I have a great wife and two amazing young kids. I know I want to be happy and do normal things like take them to the park and things but I just 'can't be bothered'. And it causes issues
Hi Liviguy
That is how I feel, I feel like there is nothing to look forward to and because looking forward to somethng usually brings joy into your life I just dont have that. Everything seems like a hassle and when I think about the week and what Im going to do I just dont have the desire to look forward to it.
When I say I rather be dead is usually when I want to escape the feelings Im having the the existing of where I am. Its a horrible feeling its yucky and I dont like it.
However I believe I dont have full depression as I do have some spark in my life at times like there are times where I do feel happy and content.
The feeling when Im down is more like hey I am sick of life I really want to have a rest from it, if you know what I mean.
Anyway I hope you find a way to feel better aye.
Ditto - I get these feelings too and agree with the advise.
Like you Pink - my dark feelings seem to come on quite quickly and go fairly quickly too (although every minute lasts an hour when you feel this bad). All the info I've seen says that the thoughts/feelings have had to be felt most days over a two week period - mine never last this long and I come out of them by myself - my sleep isn't affected either.
Are you on any medication Pink?
When I became unwelll again earlier this year, I couldn't be bothered either Liviguy, sometimes I think it just needs time - don't beat yourself up about it and you have insight into your problems cos you know you want to be happy and have what is needed aren't happy just now. Try to plan one small thing a day - don't try to enjoy it, but just do one thing, like talk to each child for 15 minutes about whatever they want to talk about, walk or take the kids to the park and build on this. You won't feel like this forever, no one does. Talk to your wife even if it's all been said before, saying how you feels sometimes stops you going over and over things. Have you spoken to your Dr about this?
:hugs:to anyone who is feeling like this, it really is the pits BUT it will go. Promise
A diagnosis of depression requires a number of symptoms to have been present over a period of at least a fortnight. Your symptoms could be due numerous reasons, esp. at your time in life hormones are raging. If you are worried have a read of the Wikipedia article on the beck depression index, or go to a specialist web site for depression such as depression can be fun.

I have a couple of things worrying me in my life just now which I focus on to the point of obsession which renders everything else around me insignificant. Unfortunately in my case it is my wife and kids that are suffering because of it.
I was at the doc last week and filled in the anxiery and depression questionairre and he said my anxiety score was very high but depression was not scoring too high at all. I have been referred for CBT and am now on the waiting list.
