Lately, i have been feeling so frustrated and depressed. I can't function well and all i ever wanted to do was be in my room and cry about a lot of things that has been going on in my life. I think i have depression because it is not the first time that it has happened to me. I just want to assure myself that i don't have it. Is there anyone who could tell me what are the signs of depression?

signs of depression, you don't want to eat sometimes people who are depress, they eat a lot in order to hide their depression. inability to make decision, you cannot sleep or you can sleep too much, you cannot concentrate for your task, you feel helpless and hopeless, you cannot control your negative thought, you are irritable and you have thoughts that life is not worth living..

thanks for the help, i don't eat a lot anymore and most of the time all i want to do is sleep and maybe dream of something that would make me happy. the worst part is that when i wake up, i'm still depressed. that's why i like to just sleep it off. i have also thought of just wanting to die. i have tried and made a plot on how to kill myself one time but i just lost the strength to go on with it. i know, it sucks.

oh you must do anything to forget your problem. like going to the mall with your friends, watching movie with your friends. you must be with your friends to forget about your problem and share it to them so they can help you to your problem. but wait, GOD is bigger than your problem! don't forget to pray.
