fresh Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Why i have unexplainable sadness sometimes ? is it because of my hormone (i have my period now)? i feel so down, so depressed and upset but i don't know why ? feeling very sad without a reason.... will something bad happen ? Then i called a friend whom i didn't contact for half a year, and was told that she just divorced days ago and feel her life like shit. I said it is good for you, a big burden is gone. who says banana makes people feel happy ? i eat it very often... i still feel bad. it is really strange reading books is my habit, now i find i can't focus on ANY books.... what i focus on is my iphone. i could NOT stop refreshing & checking the websites(the investment websites) every 15 minutes ! this big compulsion continues for 1.5 years since i registered these websites. There goes my reading habit. Do these things got to do with my unexplainable sadness ? If this bad bad condition continues for a month, i must have a depression ! i already have obsessive compulsive disorder. i want to throw my phone away....sit down and read books as i do before... i feel my life like shit as my friend does...

Raider5678 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I would diagnose you with Depression if everything you said is true. Go see a doctor or get treatment. Symptoms of Depression: Prolonged sadness or unexplained crying spells Significant changes in appetite and sleep patterns? Irritability, anger?, worry?, agitation, anxiety Pessimism?, indifference Loss of energy?, persistent lethargy Feelings of guilt, worthlessness Inability to concentrate, indecisiveness? In ability to take pleasure in former interests, social withdrawal Unexplained aches and paints? Recurring thoughts of death or suicide? Do not take this likely, it is a very serious condition. Do not go to one of those home remedy clinics that refuse to use drugs. They will not work. Go to a real doctor or a real treatment center.

No one here can or should answer those questions, regardless of what credentials or experience he or she profess. Those questions should be directed to a mental health professional with whom you can sit and converse face-to-face. The anonymous and potentially unqualified responses and misinformed advice that you would likely received through mediums like this are explanation enough for seeking in-person professional help with someone you can personally vet and hold directly responsible for your care and treatment. I hope this helps. Edited October 21, 2016 by DrmDoc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fresh Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) i feel much better in daytime. Do depressed persons don't feel depressed at all in daytime ? i wonder... if i won the lottery i bet i won't feel depressed at all.... is that the real depression or pseudo-depression ? Doctors once prescribed me sleeping pills which didn't work at all. my insomnia was cured by myself without any medicine at all. Does my period make me feel sad without a reason ? The strong sad feeling is like my drink was spiked by someone with a drug. Do you see any depressed persons with a good appetite ?

michel123456 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 i feel much better in daytime. Do depressed persons don't feel depressed in daytime ? i wonder... Sunlight is a good antidepressive. From my own experience: Drink water. Close the internet. Close the tv. Burn the newspapers. Better read a book. Or simply do something. Cook. Clean your place. Don't simply sit ruminating. Don't stay in bed. Don't stay all day long in your pyjamas. Go out. Meet some people (I mean, out of your relatives). A pet is also a terrific antidepressive. Or Come to Greece (as a tourist).

fresh Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) http://kidshealth.org/en/teens/period-blues.html ........... It's normal to have the blues or feel sick before and during a period. As hormone levels rise and fall during a girl's menstrual cycle, it can affect the way she feels, both physically and emotionally. This is known as premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, and it can make a girl feel like hiding in bed with the covers over her head. ............ Occasionally, PMS symptoms might include feelings of extreme depression and hopelessness. If this is the case, speak with your doctor — it may be a sign something else is going on. .................... i couldn't stop checking the info from the investment websites everyday. since i have known these websites i have OCD.

If you don't have success and/or money then the elixir of life is those two things. If you do have those things one may realise they are not what they are cracked up to be. Sometimes it's better to be poor and dream of the unattainable; to live in hope is better than knowing there is none. Yes, I'm a depressive. Seriously, money is distraction not a solution.

koti Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Being poor and remaining poor forever is the reason to get depression. That is true. But small, good things which require no money will make feel one better. A lot better. To a point in which one will no longer be convinced that he/she will stay poor forever.

StringJunky Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 @stringJunky Yes, in First World terms but not Third World terms. Being poor and remaining poor forever is the reason to get depression. It depends who you want to measure your circumstances against. To me, poor is worrying about where the next meal is coming from; to someone else it's not being able to go on ones usual winter holiday at Gstaad this year.

I'm not sure if a regeneration of financial wealth will thus fix the depression, but it may most certainly contribute to it in such cases. However, once a real depression has struck, more therapy is needed than a financial boost. Edited October 22, 2016 by Function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKrettin Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 you are right, there are some cases that some businessmen killed themselves after their business went bust. I clearly remember the case of a suicide, a young guy who had been playing the stock market and generated a capital of 32 million pounds sterling. There was a stock market crash and he lost half within 24 hours.Anybody in that situation who felt life was not living because he only had 16 million pounds left has obviously lost the plot. It makes you wonder what the hell was going on in his mind - I'd be quite chuffed with half that amount, or even a sixteenth. Wait - I'll settle for a thirtytooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he had a real depression after the terrible news? Or if his act was rather out of impulse? It doesn't seem likely to me that all of a sudden, one can become depressed, to me it seems as if you 'grow' a depression, rather than suddenly fall victim to it, given the neuropsychiatrical basis of a depression ...

This harks back to what I said earlier about everybody has a different idea of where poverty starts. Would Bill Gates be on a massive downer if he lost 80 billion dollars and was down to his last billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
