Sounds like it could be depression to me. I suggest seeing a professional about suicidal thoughts and feelings that have such a profound effect on your life.
South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
It's possible. Especially if it's something that's been going on long term and getting worse. If it's just occasionally could be you're just overworked and need a vacation.btw is it depression is sometimes you can't stop crying and you don't even know why you're crying and feel suicidal and don't feel like doing the things you really love and feel lonely but don't feel like seeing people?
I lost a lot of friends because I get like that sometimes. (most likely out of them not caring, not because they didn't understand)
I always thought its depression but have never seen someone about it.

Some other symptoms of depression include lower back pain, feeling cold all the time, insomnia or wanting to sleep all the time, increased or decreased appetite, weight gain or loss, inability to focus, inability to make decisions. It is best to consult your GP or a psychiatrist to rule out any other possible illnesses, such as a hormone imbalance or a brain tumor etc.
FYI exercise daily can boost the efficacy of SSRIs by 100%
interesting video by the WHO
You know, it doesn't matter how much ponani you can be swimming in, you can still feel very lonely
I'm going to attempt online dating to combat this![]()
Sorry for the bump, but I'm turning to my Mybb family a bit here.
I've got a loooong mental health history as some may know, but the very very very first diagnosis was by a normal Shrink and it was Clinical Depression, when I was about 17/18.
Currently, I'm taking a cocktail of meds for a few conditions, as my docs aren't able to pinpoint exactly what my issue is. I'm not Schizophrenic, check. I'm not Schizo-Affective, check. I might have signs of Bipolar Disorder, but I'm way too responsible, so can't be, check.
Problem is though. I'm Mr. Depressed. I can't function these days. I'm sitting in my house in the dark for hours by myself, just bashing myself about stupid mistakes I made. I am extremely harsh on myself. I have no self esteem. I have no energy. I am as suicidal as it gets.
Then, I start to cry. Then I feel better and life goes on as if nothing happened.
What the bloody blue f... Is wrong with me?
Is it just normal Depression?
I know you aren't Doctors. I will go see mine.
I know the drill by now. I'm just asking your input. Is this usual depressed symptoms?
That part doesn't sound right...being responsible (afaik) does not eliminate bipolar....don't even think its a factor thats considered. And the rest (crying) sure does sound like it.I might have signs of Bipolar Disorder, but I'm way too responsible, so can't be, check.
You & me both. Sucks when the things done right get forgotten immediately but the bad gets remembered. :/I am extremely harsh on myself.
Best *guess* is rapid cycling bipolar with the maniac episodes being suppressed by whatever mix of med you're on. As you say...best go speak to an actual doctor.I'm just asking your input.
Doctors always tend to say you are not this or that. They usually forget that every disorder can have varying degrees. Isn't it funny how these issues always come up during the dark days of winter? Since being on 10kIU Vitamin D after tracking down a reliable international source my mood is a lot better and more stable. Also eliminate anything that interferes with mood like tartrazine and caffeine. The latter gives you a boost but when the effects wear off you feel worse than before.Sorry for the bump, but I'm turning to my Mybb family a bit here.
