DEPRESSION
Feeling low is another common response we all experience in an untoward incident or when things are not panning out the way we had imagined. Depression is more than just a low mood. Persistently feeling sad, fatigued, losing interest in things, pessimism taking over and many other such symptoms experienced over a long period of time are some of the many other symptoms of Depression.
HOW MIGHT DEPRESSION LOOK LIKE?
Experiencing some of these symptoms may not necessarily mean that you have Depression.
NOTE: We do not deal with clinical diagnoses. Kindly refer to a Clinical Psychologist if you are looking for or have a clinical diagnosis.
FEELING FATIGUED
Lack of energy or constant fatigue is a constant battle you might face. You don't have the energy to get up from your bed and you feel fatigued despite not doing much.
EATING AND SLEEPING TOO MUCH or TOO LITTLE
You either feel like your stomach is full all the time or you haven't eaten anything for ages. You're either sleeping most of the time or are not experiencing any or little sleep during the night as well.
SADNESS
You might be going through persistent sadness that just does not go away. There seems to be nothing that can help you feel better or let you out of your orbit of sadness. It does not mean you aren't trying to be happy, it is just that sadness takes over most of the time.
LACK OF INTEREST
Your usual cup of coffee in the evening does not feel the same any longer. There is a lack of interest & joy in most things. You don't want to play the guitar that always pumped you up, you don't want to attend the dance classes or even the long drives do not feel good any longer.
WORTHLESSNESS
All your achievements seem diminished and you're left with a constant feeling of worthlessness, hopelessness or guilt.
DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING
Something that you used to do easily and had not issues focusing on takes more time and more energy out of you. It leaves you thinking that you weren't able to do a simple task with attention and focus. There is extreme difficulty concentrating on day-to-day activities.
