Im 18 yrs old
today I was reading about some depression
illness and came across
dysthymia , and look at the simptoms and I
saw my self in it but im not 100% sure
ok lets go trought the symptoms
1.Depressed mood (lasting 2 or more years)
hm iw have feeling of depression for 4 yrs
now but not daily I can pass even a week
or more without it but I am depressed
allot but its easy for me to not think
about it so it rarely affect`s my behavior
it does sometimes when im really depressed
but rarely
2.Feelings of hopelessness
i cant get rid of this feeling about 2 yrs
now , it was really disturbing at the
begining but now I can handel it , I say
to myself thats just the way things are
3.Poor concentration or difficulty making
decisions
totally , poor concentration for about 4
yrs now I have difficulty learning and
poor motivation , but not difficulty
making decisions im ok with that but in
past 3-4 months im getting confused when
deciding something important to me I get
confused and I have a feeling that I dont
know what to do
4.Low self-esteem
yes
5.Low energy
hell no im full of energy
6.Poor sleep or too much sleep
i sleep too much , about 12-13 hrs
7.Poor appetite or overeating
overating sometimes when im disturbed or
angry I lget hungry
i have about 140kg now
and the thing im disturbed even more is
that I have some bipolar disorder simtomes
I have strange mood changes , one moment
I am sad one moment I am normal lately I
have strange euphoria emotions with no
reason and im getting irritated easily and
having too much anger emotions over some
stupid things
abit about my life
i am not quiet and sociopat
i have friends im totaly normal with that
question
i always had fear of rejction (one of the
simptomes)
my scool sucks I am 2 yrs behind because I
didnt pass 1 and 2 grade of highschoool
i cant remember when I was happy ,
i cant be happy like other people
for instance I like partying , going to
concerts , my friends like it but they are
happy when they ar on a party im not I
just like it ...
I cant remeber feeling really happy
my motivation is poor
my only passion is music and cars
i am really sensitive about music
i can get sad when listening emo music
but the strange thing is I listen to emo
music and party music with no emotions
like dark trance so I can be either sad
and depressed or full of energy (bipolar
disorder simptom)

Hi intru. First off id say the best
thing to do if you really do feel
depressed is stop partying for alittle, if
your working continu working, if school
keep going, if nothing do something like
either of the above. I also suggest to
see a Dr. This is one of my favorite
things to say because you can tell much
more about a person by seeing them alive,
moving and talking. So all I can do is
really give you some reassurance that you
will be ok...And try the most to relax you
know. Feel free to ask about anything on
here.
