Would You Consider This Depression? Posted: 12-22-07 19:28pm
Okay, well, very small things can tip me
over the edge and overwhelm me and just
make me want to cry. I never do, because
I know I'd feel stupid or I'm in public
and that would make me feel even more
stupid, for crying in public.
Lately, I've been socially distant towards
everyone and avoiding social situations a
lot. I don't enjoy hanging out with my
friends any more either, I'm much more
happier by myself at home, kickin' it all
alone, but when I'm in public I hate being
alone, does that make sense? Lately I
began to hate checking my MySpace or
email, etc. because I hate replying to
people, so to avoid the obligation, I
haven't been on my accounts in months.
Truthfully, I don't really feel depressed
or sad most of the time, I usually just
absorb those feelings and ignore them and
then think happy thoughts to lighten my
mood or play with my dog. But whenever
I'm sad, I feel pathetic. But when I'm
drunk, all I do is I cry a lot, and talk
about how i hate myself and my life and
how I don't deserve my life style. Even
just a little bit of alcohol in my system
just makes me cry uncontrollably. Is that
just drunk talk? A lot of the time, I
feel like a hypochondriac, so I'm very
uncertain.

We don't really diagnose on this site, but
you do have some symptoms of depression.
Shake is right though about alcohol, it
tends to magnify your problems.
The mere fact that you are not showing a
"bad" face in public is important because
you recognize that you don't feel right. I
would see your doctor and discuss what
would be the best route for you to take,
whether it be medication ot something
else.
If your doctor doesn't see your
unhappiness, I would see another for a
second opinion. A psychologist could help
also in determining what is causing your
sadness and crying.
Good luck.

Yup I would consider it to be depression,
I agree with Shake and Lonestarguy about
alcohol. The more you drink the more it
won't solve any problem, to get rid of
your problems is to find what causes it.
Talk to someone if possible, get rid of
the feeling of withdrawn. Always think
positive take care.
