New here -- Could I be depressed?
| Thu, 03-25-2004 - 2:26pm |
I have been feeling really restless and out of sorts lately and kind of feel like there is some thing wrong. I know I am very busy and stressed, but I just can not seem to get my self to do the thing I have to do. I can't concentrate on work, or my homework. I have been able to pck up around the house, but I feel I am getting obsessive.
I have a lot going on in my life right know, I go to school, I work and I have a two year old. My dad is also very ill, although not near me so that is just a mental stress. I am having depression symptoms and I took a few on-line tests which said I should see a doctor, but in some ways I feel like I am just stressed out and not depressed.
Any advice? Is is possible to just be stressed? Is depression different?
Thanks for any insight you may have.

I would suggest you go and talk to someone, like a counsler or pyschologist. You can talk about how you feel and maybe he/she can give your a referral to someone who can give you some medicine to help you out. Also, don't be afraid to go and get help, I used to be like that, but now I don't care what other people think. Hang in there, you will start to feel better. Also I found journaling helps me, especially when I can't get into my counsler, and when I am going through tough times!
