Im still wondering if i am actually suffering from depression, the nurse keeps saying i am suffering from stress or depression but the more i read about depression the less convinced i am.
I dont get emotional. i dont feel guily, cry or feel worthless or a failure, my sleeping is ok, my eating is ok.
I just get physical symptoms all the time constantly like:
having no energy/feeling tired all the time
dont feel motivated to do anything
aches and pains
twitching, trembling
the occasional diarrhoea
shaky hands
Ive been to the docs several times and obviously had loads of tests done and nothing physical is there i had a panic attack 3 months ago which has left me feeling like this every day since, i rarely get any panic attacks though its just these physical symptoms which bug me all the time.
when someone says your depressed then another says your stressed and another says your suffering frm generalized anxiety disorder its not convincing is it.
I know nothing is physically wrong with me i dont worry about any physical illnesses.
All i know is 3 months ago apart from my asthma i was completely healthy never had any other health problems, but ive always been a stressful person and i had that episode 3months ago where i felt unreal and lightheaded and like i was going to collapse and it seems to have drained all my energy since and ie developed more symptoms over the last 3 months, ive had about 4 panic attacks in 3 months and i dont worry about getting one of them is these other symptoms, ive read so many books on depression and it just doesnt match up to me.
Ive never heard of depression to be just physical symptoms athough i will admit ive lost my sex drive as well since ive been ill.
