Could I be depressed.?!
Question:
Could I be depressed.?
Ok. theres this thing, it happens about every 3-5 months & normally lasts 2-6 weeks. I call it lathargy. I suddenly start feeling all-around sad; not @ anything in particular. but mostly, I lose intrest in everything. readin shoppin talkin eatin, everythin. i feel like the only thing i have enuf energy 2 do is lay in bed & stare @ the ceiling. & when i am up, its like im in a fog or walking thru quicksand. nothing makes sense. i hate it. the only thing that makes me feel better is my medicine. Im supposed to take 2 wellbutrine in the moning, but on really bad days i sneak in2 the kitchen & steal an extra pill. only 1, cus 2 makes me sick. but if i just take 1 then i feel better. im able to do stuff & be interested in stuff 4 about 3 hours, then i get really sad & just curl up in bed & cry myself 2 sleep. but at least theres the 3 hours where i feel normal. ive taken tests b4 about depression, but some say i have it & some say i dont. Im so confused. I just wana feel normal again!
Answers:
first off, you shouldn't be taking medications except for how they are instructed for you. You could be overdosing on them. The best way is to go to a doctor who specializes in depression.
I was having the same problems and felt like i was always very high or very low....
that's called bipolar...
depression can effect people in different ways.
you may have to try different meds until you find the right one. I went through several and ended up checking myself into a hospital for help. Now that I have learned that I am bipolar and OCD, I don;'t take meds. I just deal with it and know the signs.
not everyone can do that...
but, i am into body building and don;'t want the extra meds...
you have to do whats best for you....get help.....don't self diagnosis..
