Author Topic: My psychologist diagnosed me with Depression AMA  (Read 2827 times)

disregarding the pills:
do ur emotions fluctuate often in a smale timeframe?
do u feel like u suffer from feelings of emptiness and boredom?
do u engage in self-damaging acts such as wasteful spending, substance abuse, or binge eating
do u have an unstable image of yourself, always wanting to change
are u paranoid of what people think of u, sometimes in unreal situations
do u engage in frantic efforts to avoid abandonment by people u depend on
do u see people as black and white when first met
do u consider urself impuslive or capricious

sorry for the amount of questions im kind of diagnosing u for something else here lol

Depression is forgetin weird. The longest time I thought depression was about being sad and gloomy all the time, but for me it's kind of like just being bored and uninterested about everything, and a lot of the time I feel like I have to fake emotion or else people will think something's wrong with me.

I've found that the best way to keep from going into a spiral of existentialism I keep myself busy with thoughts or projects. School was perfect for this but once school was over I found myself bored and when I get bored I get depressed. OP My only advice is to find something to keep yourself occupied and ideally something that is very rewarding.

1) Yeah somewhat.
2) Every now and again
3) I guess wasteful spending but I feel like I can control that.
4) Yeah.
5) I can get really self conscious for little to no reason in a lot of situations.
6) I guess so/yes.
7) No.
8) Not really.

This is extremely true. Before I had my depression I thought that was what depression was myself. Though, now that I'm going through it, it seems very much like what you've said.

just get more into school and you'll come out of it at some point, that's how I got through mine

sounds like a perfect way to get a crash and burn

I guess it effects everyone differently. When I was in the throes of deppression it was only describable as utter despair. 





No questions, just wanted to say I feel for you. Depression sucks, but fighting it is the best decision one can make, and if you'd ever like to talk, just shoot me a pm or add me on steam.
