Could i have depression?!


Question: Could i have depression?
Recently, i have been stressed alot with money issues, university work, my car and my work. Everything seems so much at once, and i always think about these things and it gets me down.
I get symptoms where i sleep way to much, i never want to get up for uni, and have little or no motivation to go to work.
Im always skint, and that stresses me out because then i cant run my car.
I also find i eat to much, but this is because i gave up smoking a year ago and it feels like my only way of making me feel better.
Im really worried because my dad has had depression before, and im afraid it will of been passed on to me.

anyone got any advice?

Answers:

The isn't going to come out right I know but personally, I learned a lot from my psychology professor and I have to say that depression is all in the mind. You have to find a way to put more balance into your life. The trick is to control your life, not let it control you.



it sounds like you are on the first stages of it yeah. you need to make a doctor appt and talk with him about whats going on and how you are feeling. often times they can tell you if you need meds or if you need a bit of counseling to help you cope with your problems. iv suffered depression for years



if you no longer find enjoyment in things you previously enjoyed doing, then yes you might be depressed...
Mostly like you havent gotten depression from your dad because depression isnt heredity.
yeah, that's all i have to say ._. it could just be lots of anxiety.. i'm just a lowly psych student ;_;



I don't think you have depression, I just thing your stressed out :)



You have stress which can be solved very easily with out out any medicine for timebeing.

Turning Stress into Success


1. The starting point to turn stress into success is to lessen your load. Eighty percent of the cure can come out of writing down all your cares and responsibilities in order of priority, then eliminating the least important.

2. Remember that Superman and Superwoman exist only in comics and films. Everybody has a breaking point, so recognize yours and call a halt before you reach your limit.

3. With stress comes pent-up feelings. Get them "off your chest" by sharing them with a trusted friend or counselor. This of itself can bring immediate relief and helps you to think and plan more objectively.

4. Stop fighting situations that can't be changed. As one father told his impatient teenager, "If you would only realize and accept the fact that life is a struggle, things would be so much easier for you." Learning to live with and get on top of struggles is what helps us grow and mature.

5. Watch your diet and eating habits. When under stress we tend to overeat—especially junk food which increases stress. A balanced diet of proteins, vitamins, and fiber while also eliminating white sugar, caffeine, too much fat, alcohol and nicotine is essential for lowering stress and its effects.

6. Be sure to get plenty of physical exercise. This keeps you healthier and helps burn up excess adrenaline caused by stress and its accompanying anxiety.

7. The ultimate answer to turning stress into success is to learn to trust God through Jesus Christ and live in harmony with his will for your daily life. God's peace comes through accepting and trusting in Jesus Christ.

"Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand." Philippians 4:6-7

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please 'give me the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.' And again, help me to trust my life to you in every situation in which I find myself. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name."
