Is it depression?!


Question: I know a doctor will make the best diagnosis, but I want other opinions too.

Lately I've had some reasons to feel bad, like being lonely (I'm at school for an optional winter term so not a lot of people are here), and being rather bluntly rejected by someone. I generally have low self-esteem but it's even worse now. I feel bad all the time, except when I'm hanging out with friends, but right afterwards I feel awful again. I've had thoughts of suicide, though I wouldn't go through with them.

The really weird part is, though, I can't cry. There have been plenty of times I've felt horrible and wanted to cry, but I just can't. I know it sounds weird, but I just want to be able to cry.

Does this sound like depression? Should I see someone?

yeah it sounds like depression, but about the not being able to cry, don't worry something will trigger it, it could be something small but when the tears start coming you're going to be crying for a while. it has happened to me, the not being able to cry.
just try to be around people even though it may seem like they're so happy and you're not, you'll feel better. try to talk to someone, it helps.
good luck
and yes go see someone.

Yes it's depression

yeah i think so, u should definetly gather up the courage and go.

Yes,you may want to consider seeing a professional on this issue. Rule out anything physical first,however. Get a good physical from your regular doctor first and discuss with him/her what you've been going through. The doc can make some recommendations as to which way to go.

I have been through this and yes it is depression. You should see someone, whether it is medication or counseling, or both. Good luck

Yes this sounds like it. See a Dr. before you find a dangerous way to let your feelings out because you cant cry. I am bipolar and the depression is like cancer, it can kill you, some people dont survive. It will just eat you up till there's nothing left, get help now. and stay on meds when they're givin to you. Good Luck!

yep it is depression, definitely see someone if you are already thinkin about suicide. Because if you don't it will only get worse

You need to go talk to someone that can help you before you get worst. Sometime I feel sad, so i get my gym clothes on and go workout for several hours or get a hobby to do. You can meet other people while doing other thing that you like to do. But please get help for the suicide thoughts!!!!! Good Luck and if you want someone to chat with you can chat on line or at my space.

from what i have experienced with depression ( i have a cutting problem) it sounds like it is depression but not that bad just see a therapist or councelor or doctor and talk let all ur emotions and feelings out
thats is what is helping me

yes it sounds like depression & yes you should seek a physician
