Does it sound as if I am depressed?

[Anonymous]

I lack energy. Either sleep too much or not at all. Have been feeling pretty crappy for the past 4 years. Cry weekly. Feel worthless. Lost interest in things I used to find intriguing. Always second guessing myself, thinking about what others have said about me as being relevant and they're point is valid. Not very sociable (always been introverted). Always feel worthless because I have never been in a relationship and feel lonely in general. Low self esteem. Feel poor, even though I make average salary for a college student. Take medication, although it alleviates the anxiety, but I tend to feel depressed and "risky" (do not want to use the s word) . So, do I sound depressed?

Yes

No

You are feeling sorry for yourself

Also, I think a lot about luck. How life is based on luck and I'm cursed.

Sounds like depression for sure and you have lot of social withdrawal
from people.. No your life is worth living and you need maybe a second
opinion on getting help.. You go to college and get some income in
so that's good.. Maybe think of things in your life make you unhappy
and eliminate them things... People can tell you to go to the gym
but you lack the energy to get to there so that's out.. You might be
better off getting into some intensive group therapy or intensive
therapy one on one by law you are entitled for medical leave from
any job or college cause your health is the most important,

There is something going on. It could be psychological, but it could also be physiological (or environmental).

Is your bed firm? Are you sleeping well? Do you apneate in your sleep? Is your diet right? Does exercise make you feel better?

Fix the things you can fix on your own and see if things improve. If they don't, see a doctor. But exhaust ALL OTHER POSSIBILITIES before you go on drugs. Doctors LOVE to put people on drugs. In fact, get opinions in quadruplicate for that decision.

It sounds like you have bottled up pain from negative social experiences with others. To get over this situation you should try to get involved in the service industry - not as your main career but as a side job to what you regularly do. When you serve - your self esteem improves.

Yes. I actually have been feeling depressed as well. I feel better when I talk to someone who will listen to all of my problems and try to help. Sometimes you just need to let it out.

Everyones coping mechanism differs. You are, I am assuming my age when you began to notice the symptoms. I am now twenty. Best of "luck".

You sound like a pathetic whiner. Quit focusing on making yourself needy and pathetic and start focusing on how you can improve the things more important and useful for others.

I thought the same things basically and then I went to the doctor and got diagnosed, now I have started to get help. you should go to the doctor.

It does sound like you're depressed to me but I'm not a psychiatrist so you probably should see one to find out for sure and come up with a plan to treat it if you are clinically depressed.

Try to go to a gym for 3 months 3 times a week, I think it will help
