I read a lot of people on here, asking whats wrong with them and are they depressed, well now you can check for yourself.
Ive no interest commenting in here and would appreciate if you could keep me and my motivations for doing this, out of here.

SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION

Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.
Feeling useless, inadequate, bad.
Self hatred, constant questioning of thoughts and actions, an overwhelming need for reassurance.
Being vulnerable and "over-sensitive".
Feeling guilty.
A loss of energy and motivation, that makes even the simplest tasks or decisions seem difficult.
Self harm.
Loss or gain in weight.
Difficulty with getting off to sleep, or (less frequently) an excessive desire to sleep.
Agitation and restlessness.
Loss of sex drive.
Finding it impossible to concentrate for any length of time, forgetfulness. A sense of unreality.
Physical aches and pains, sometimes with the fear that you are seriously ill.
In severe depression, these feelings may also include:

Suicidal ideas.
Failure to eat or drink.
Delusions and/or hallucinations.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEPRESSION
Some types of depression are very specific

SEVERE DEPRESSION
If the depression is very bad, and the person who is suffering is in need of immediate support, contact the Samaritans on 0345 90 90 90 and your GP as soon as possible. Try to cope by getting support.
MANIC OR BIPOLAR DEPRESSION
This type of depression is marked by extreme mood swings, from "highs" of excessive energy and elation to "lows" of utter despair and lethargy. Manic depression is often treated with Lithium, which evens out the mood swings.

POST NATAL DEPRESSION
This is not "the baby blues" which occurs 2-3 days after the birth and goes away. Post natal depression can occur from about 2 weeks and up to 2 years after the birth.

SAD
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression which generally coincides with the approach of winter, starting with September and lasting until Spring brings longer days and more sunshine.

The words "I'm depressed" is used to freely in society.
There may be those who are a bit sad about something - say their goldfish died. They would call themselves depressed. But they sure as hell aren't. And there are those who had their whole family wiped out in a car crash, and they are now paralysed. They would either say, "I want to die, I'll pay you to kill me". Or "I'm depressed" That's what being depressed really is.

I know several people who always claim that they want to kill themselves if just the tiniest thing goes wrong - example, my friend went out with a super hot year 10 girl, and got dumped, like, 3 days after, then started to change his MSN screennames to stuff like 'I hate my life'

Suck it up, soldier.

BIPOLAR DEPRESSION - been battling this for some years now.. nowhere near as bad as it was, but the last month has been particularly traumatic and i experienced most of the things on that list.. especially the lack of sleep and inability to eat.

never have i been so grateful for my friends and family..

FFS, everyone has been like that at some point of their lives, stop trying to make yourself feel "special" by including yourself in such a group.

You're taking advantage of the attention that declaring yourself "depressed" brings.
