...sounds like a mild depression to me. but do get medical attn: before it gets worse and you slip into bipolar depression.
Oh. Hyperactiveness at times with major mood swings is part of depression. -
untreated symthoms of depression may or may not lead to psychosis.Originally posted by -zefiris-:...sounds like a mild depression to me. but do get medical attn: before it gets worse and you slip into bipolar depression.
Oh. Hyperactiveness at times with major mood swings is part of depression.
Bipolar is a technical term to refer to a person who has a fairly consistent swing between two mood state of being down in the dumps and times of pure elation. there are milder forms of this but to identify Bipolar, you will need to have quite a detailed examination of your medical history. So please dont start thinking that you have it bec even my explantion is not the medical definition of Bipolar. They will do an assessment and based the diagnosis on the number of traits that you display and only then can they confirm.
psychosis is the deepening of the symthoms and it may alter your personality and other behavioural traits. This means that you will now have one more issue and item to treat and deal with instead of the original issue that got you down in the first place.
so please seek help asap and not wait until you tahan until cannot tahan then you seek help. ya -

tat time was really very depression n actually have lots of negative thinking including death is a possible solution but is being very inresponsible too. den keep thinking a lot too.. lots of negative views. even my frds also ask if i'm alright n ask if i need to go for some consulation cos sometime i really do weird thing by staring blank at my cupboard.
but after a change in work environment with friends whom are much more nicely, trustable and friendly, being able to communicate with my parents, parents start to show more concern towards me n start hanging out more often with frds during the weekend..
i seem to be a much happier person now.. though i sometime still think bout of negative stuffs and complain bout life.
so do i consider suffer depression before? and if i do, am i really alright now? -
Most of these symptoms have to be present for more than 2 weeks before you can officially be diagnosed as having depression. If sucidal thoughts appear, you are in very depressed mood. DO seek consultation. Doctors in clinics may be able to help. If you notice and worry that you might have such conditions, do go out and do exercises! It'll help boost your antioxidants and pump your adrenaline. Those will help your moods to go up. As mentioned, if still does not work after 2 weeks or symptoms continue to persist, get help. Helplines might be able to help too. Try to get someone who is a professional because a friend will have too much to feel about. Will most likely not be able to help by pushing the symptoms as mood swings and stuff.Originally posted by badboy:SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION :

I guess this is not about being in depression now. It is abt the way you choose to think about things. Like me, You are obviously a person who is easily influenced by others and the environment. However, I am beginning to realise that people and environment changes consistently and you cannot be in control of it. Hence, everytime you get affected by it you may choose to move to another place and this process may go on and on. The pattern becomes obvious that unless you change yourself, you probably won't be happy. Some things in the environment will change if you choose to change your thinking.Originally posted by edLow:some of these symptons i actually face at the beginning of the yr.

Give you an example. I miss home alot and constantly tell the world that I don't like being in SYdney and yearns to go home. I tried to make myself feel better by moving from house to house. Yet after my sister and mother came to visit, I came to realise that it was not that bad after all. I missed home and because they came to stay with me for a week that it was them I missed not that this place sucks. It is still not as good as home and SIngapore but it was not that bad. By changing the thought, the days seemed easier to pass. More positive about staying here for the term though going home was still at the end of the agendas. hee.... Hope you see what i meant. -
Yep you are sooo right. How you think has a huge impact on how you feel!!!Originally posted by Starletz:I guess this is not about being in depression now. It is abt the way you choose to think about things. .....

Sounds like you are coping with the changes! take care and start to or if you have already started continue to surround yourself with friends etc. We are social beings and we need to have people around us. -
You sound like you may be suffering from some form of depression. please seek some assistance so that you can gain control over your mood again and you can stop feeling the way you do now. I know how lousy it feels to be like that. go talk to someone, someone qualified, please see your doctor, he/she can give you some simple medication to just help with your anxiety and help you relax. Alot of people go through this once a while.Originally posted by curiousity:if no hallucination, no suicide....
