Mood : bad news everyone... Relaxed

I'm super depressed guys, and i have been for years.

i know i feel depressed and i saw the subject in my psychology text book earlier so i checked out the diagnosis.

"the formal diagnosis of major depressive disorder requires the presence of five of the following symptoms (including depressed mood or loss of interest and pleasure). And must persist for longer than two weeks."

1. sad, depressed mood. (tick)
2. loss of interest and pleasure in usual activities. (tick)
3. difficulties in sleeping. (tick)
4. shift in activity level, becoming either lethargic or agitated. (tick)
5. poor appetite and weight loss, or increased appetite and weight gain. (i don't think so.)
6. loss of energy and great fatigue (don't think so... but from time to time i think i get this.)
7. negative self-concept, feelings of worthlessness and guilt. (tick)
8. difficulty in concentrating (again, sometimes.)
9. recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. (i only remember once where i kept thinking of my own death across a week. So no.)

so that is at least 5.

i know there are a bunch of people here who feel depressed but i always lie about it, this is the first time i have been frank with myself and others.

I think its down to life style, i don't like the idea of taking drugs regularly so anti depressants are out of the question.

are you on the dead weeks like me now? If you're then you're normal. After you done all the exams, you'll be fine. So don't worry

Maybe your life is missing something.

Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:39 pm by **Ahmed** · Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:39 pm by **Ahmed**

Then do that if that's what you're missing

Oh Ic, then try to solve the each problem you have:

2. loss of interest and pleasure in usual activities. (tick) - Think of other activities that you really love to do and do it. Or try something different than ur daily activities.
3. difficulties in sleeping. (tick) - exercise, exercise will help sleep better

oh and this one has just come to me....

id love to get into a fight with someone at the mo, a phisical fight.

for months i have wanted to legitimately hit someone.... and i put that down to stress.

unfortunately there is only one man i can hit without feeling guilty and he is much too far away.

Thanks IR, its nice to see your concerned Smile

Oh la la, that's NOT good steve. That's violent. Maybe you should take wrestling class so you can do it there legally. Otherwise, you will be in trouble

Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:55 pm by **Ahmed** · Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:55 pm by **Ahmed**

Wrestling is fake.

Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:55 pm by **Steve** · Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:55 pm by **Steve**

i would never start a fight, but i do think it would be god to burn off some extra fuel in a boxing ring or something...

as for being bullied as a child, i dont think so... i think i was terrified of being bullied which has messed me up.

"i think i was terrified of being bullied which has messed me up."

There you go...you want to take that "messing up" on people.

Go to a gym and release your energy on the weights.

I think going outside more would help. Vitamin D deficiency causes depression.

Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:04 pm by **Steve** · Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:04 pm by **Steve**

well its not that simple. it has to be something like boxing because i know weight will just make me stronger without dealing with the violence.

its either caused by frustrattion with myself, or stress... or perhaps something i havent thought of... but there is probably another solution.

Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:07 pm by IR · Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:07 pm by IR

Anyway, anything involve violent is not good. For me, it's always very simple. When I feel depress, I go shopping, and it automatic gone away

Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:09 pm by **Steve** · Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:09 pm by **Steve**

see i would say retail therapy is bad but i dont like shopping so i could be bias Smile
