10 Warning Signs Of Major Depression

Depression is a mood disorder marked by extended sadness and a loss of interest. Also referred to as major depression or clinical depression, it affects your feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
Are you concerned that someone in your life might be depressed? Hidden depression is often undiagnosed depression, that may make a person seem functionally fine, but in fact, deep down, manifest depression.

  1. I would prefer to oversleep than what I’m doing now. I hate my thoughts it always along the lines of “Hey that person totally hates you and thinks you should die.” Which usually leads to something like “It would be really funny if you had a gun to blow your brains out.” Which I know I’ve actually thought about doing if I really owned a gun. Also, I am seeing a therapist so, well I can’t say I’m fine, but I’m as best as I can be.

  2. I noticed that 6 of these match me, but I’m too scared to get help or diagnose. I’m planning on ending it but idk if it’s depression or just me

  3. I have low self esteem, insomnia,random sleep schedules,stress,Im always angry and lash out without me even realizing,I feel like a completely different person at home I don't like eat as much when I was once a food devourer(4 full plates at 9 years old)I'm currently like 154 cms my age Is like 13 and my weight is 42-43kg

  4. Me at the start: Yeah, I wanna know if my friends are okay!!
    Me at the end: …Yeah, my friends might wanna know if I'm okay…
    (Sorry for joking about this, I process stuff through humor)

  5. i dont feel worthless i am worthless i cant get out of bed with wanting to end it i can take a step with feeling bunrout i cant im slowly going away from my friends because they say oh i undertsand no you dont you only understand that i feel sad

  6. is the worse thought is actually when your family pushes u to do things, change your life, and u say to them " anyway listening to you, all of you would be better without me in your lifes " and then u keep that thought for years and everytime u hit a low point u think about this sentence everytime and it still sound so right everytime u think about it

  7. I May Have depression because everything except the last one is mostly I think I may have but I can't say it to anyone My mom only says I may have ADHD Because of how I act

  8. I am diagnosed as depressed yet i'm doing quite good and never tried suicide or sh. I'm able to see positives and go through traumatic event yet i feel empty and silent sometime

  9. One thing I learned from going through the experience of depression did you find out who your true friends and there's a way out of it. Keep moving forward by working on yourself and remember no matter what you deserve to be loved and treated with respect

  10. I always observed my self idkw but feel like something is off.. i first thought it was just burn out, then thought its ADHD, then PSI, and now drepression.. bro not know whats wrong with me or if im even just being dramatic is making things even harder..

    I would love to hear your thoughts IF its relatable to you and your a healthy person or not..

  11. Me slowly realizing I have depression…
    When I told my brother how I felt he called me a narcissist so I started doubting it but…I have ALL these symptoms… especially the one of random pains and energy draining…

  12. I mean, i have some of these, but i think thats just a me problem and not a depression problem- oh i just saw the mood swings, the only thing keeping me going is the fear of going to hell and pain! I hate pain, but i do get like sad aches, my parents said that when i was younger i used to say "My heart.. hearts ):" kinda cute not gonna lie

  13. 💖☺️If anyone wants to talk or need to talk or just wants say hi, send a message to me 43 age m single, Pennsylvania, no kids never married and been surviving on my own by self mostly for years and yeah im here if just want to say hi💖😊

  14. I know moltypul people with
    these sines,and depression
    kinda runs in my family
    sadly💔Im not super
    depressed,but I think I
    have smileing depression💭

  15. Wake up so tired barley eat then be sad to go to school then go to school. Get bullied my crush tell me to oof myself then home. Go on computer all day and deal with drama try to play with my crush but then it all just leads to my crush saying she hates me and won't play with me then I go to sleep and wake up then repeat

  16. it is weird i dont love myself i don hate myself either
    i am who i am and all that is is feel of
    i dont see a bright future
    the brightest thing i see is the dark cloud in unidentifiable distanz
    but it dosent fell bad looking at it its … comforting its…
    a sort of safe haven that i look forward to reaching
    and the most terrifing thing in this state is the feeling of the
    cloud leaving, of something pulling you back eventhough you feel
    like there is nothing left behind you and you have long given up
    on turning away from the storm
    the feeling of getting pulled back to a state where there is more than the
    comforting cold from the storm you are following eventhough you know
    there is no way to go back

  17. A friend of mine might be depressed.
    Some bad things are going on in his life rn.
    And he keeps telling us (his friends) that he doesn't make an impact on people's lives.
    And that he doesn't think before he acts/talks anymore, bc he feels like nothing has consequences anymore, like nothing matters anymore.
    He keeps saying he's such a bad person, but he's really not, yeah he can be annoying at times, but in a joke between friends kinda way. I don't think he believes us when we tell him that what he thinks isn't the truth.

    Edit: we always make sure to support him, reasure him and spend time with him to get his mind off of things.
    Which he appreciates.

  18. I don’t want to die. I want to live. But then again, depression sometimes feels comforting, and i feel like it’s one of the only things that make me ‘special’ and deserving of care and love. Which is why i keep sabotaging myself and not allowing myself to be happy. It’s really hard when the other side of me wants to be happy and live my life normally

  19. I’ve always been pessimistic. I have ADHD, possibly autism and OCD. I have really bad anxiety. And a lot of my symptoms worsen or are caused my depression. And it sucks that ive been depressed for so long. Most of my life, in fact. My everyday life is impacted by my awful mental health, and CPTSD doesn’t help at all.

  20. wow everyone here is rlly young and not doing great, huh?

    (everyone's probably fuckin' borderline and that pisses me off but don't worry i've got it too, and i'll probably die tomorrow)

  21. I have all of this except 1,2 and 8 , so does that mean that i am depressed, i don't know but i still have feelings towards things and love some stuff it only happens on nights sometimes when i am alone and has nothing to do that i think of death and righteousness and disgust of my actions, is that depression?
