Depression

what sort of signs do you have to back this up?
lack of sleep, weight loss or increase? increase in appetite or loss of appetite? sickness? ill? fluey?
or is it just a lot of low moods?
sorry about all the questions.

Hey rachel-
i have the same questin as the one before... i think i could possibly be depressed also..
I have gained weight( which adds MORe stress)
sometimes i will just get really down, and cry and cry over the dumbest reasons, or for no reason at all.. life just seems to stressful at times, which i wonder, what is my purpose here anyways?
could you give me advice?

Hey..to all of you that say your depressed...i cant really say i know where your comeing from because im not much of a depressing person..but i just want to tell you all to keep you head up and to stay smiling because you all seem like terrific people and to intelligent to be depressed..the worst thing for depression is to tell yourself your depressed..I belive in all people who are depressed and I know every last one of you can pull through..Much love to all of you..God bless!

i got loss o sleep loss of intrest in stuff i do not smiling being really easy to get angry, unusually quiet, i get all the time, when im alone i either sit in the dark or something and sometimes i get really bad like um crying fits i gess and i end up curled in a ball on the floor rocking bak n forward, i find it hard to get on with people, i just constantly break into tears or get really angry and frustrated easily. i don't no if this is but please let me no, i have thoughts of suicide and have almost choked myself without realising a few days ago. please tell me what you think, is this normal? i feel insane.

This may sound copy catish to everyone else on here, but I need help. My best friend/ boyfriend said I needed to go to counseling which completely pissed me off because I don't like opening up to anyone but him. Also, I get less and less sleep. I think I am losing weight. As everybody does at one point, I am goin through a really rough time right now with family, friends, and school. Almost every night I am crying myself to sleep, and simple things people say, even as a joke, will cause me to get upset. My friends tell me they miss the old me, the one who was always happy and hyper and fun to be around. Is this something normal, or could it actually be depression? My friend tells me that my 'depression' is only major upsetness/ sadness. I think differently. If anybody has any advice for me, please email me or PM me or something. Thank you for listening.

deadnalone- it is normal yes, especially the rocking back and forth...its a sign of confort people use to try and escape the real world and its like people do it to feel like themselves again and feel comforted by the warmth of their own body. your not insane...just need someone to talk to and not many people have that, that they know of but htere is always someone. dont feel insane because its anything but...you just need to be loved. i know what you mean and i know that maybe you just need a little bit of guidance in whatever...talk to me if you need to..

Brokenfaery- your friends are talking out their arse...im sorry but people are two people...they have a happy side which they want people to see and they have another side which they show to people they think they can trust...i think again you need someone to talk to...i know i keep saying it but i think its true....everyone does and the many people with these things feel they cant talk to anyone...you say you can talk to your boyfriend but can you talk to him about absolutely anything or is it just the general upsetting that you can... i think that maybe it is depression but i cant diagnose anything...im not a doctor...so...meh...i dunno?!?! but anyway.

either of you...if you want to email me or something borrowed_imagination@hotmail.com

Thank you, Rachel.

s'okay...if you ever need to talk you know where i am but im not going to make you talk if you dont want to!
