How do we know when we are depressed? (Page 2)

Question

I feel like my mind is being invaded by negative thoughts. I feel like I've lost my purpose in life. I am afraid and worried about everything. Living doesn't make me very happy. I feel like I'm worth nothing. I feel like my existence has no value to this world. But I don't want to feel like this. Sometimes I don't want to do anything, sometimes I feel very tired. Am I likely to be depressed? Or am I depressed?

Celtero · Answer

Sounds like depression to me.  What helps me feel better is forcing myself to do productive things. Make yourself take a shower, eat a good breakfast, and exercise.

Massageman · Answer

It does sound as if you have depressive thoughts. However, the sadness/depression/severe depression continuum is a very long one. I would suggest an evaluation by a Psychologist and to go from there.

lorenzomichael · Answer

Fuck you know your feeling depressed when nothing seems to make you feel happy at all. However that's not to say that you're always unhappy it just means you need to smoke a little ganja and then see how you're feeling after that. Don't be afraid of a little smoke it won't kill you Dr. Lorenzo's advice turn that frown upside down.👍

That sounds like depression. Reaching out is a good sign - even if it's here. Mostly.  Life really is like eating an elephant. You can't do it in one bite.

I used to have this happen to me a lot. Whenever I would get some good news or something positive happened in my life and immediately I’d have negative thoughts enter my mind. It was like I was incapable of naturally feeling happy.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

If you just believe you are then of course you would be. If it really is an illness, there's no such thing as bacteria or viruses that can cause depression but it's all caused by your thoughts. I mean sure you get depressed when you're sick but you're mainly diagnosed with the sickness itself not depression. So yes you know you're depressed if you just keep thinking about it.
