Depressed?

One person who left a comment on my previous post said that I may be suffering from depression. Maybe I am. Maybe I have not yet realized that I am depressed but I may already be suffering from it. Hmmm... That's not a bad idea, you know.

But you see, when I am depressed, that's when I am really, really inspired to write. Well, not exactly inspired. Let's just say that I like my work better when I'm depressed. When I'm happy, you won't find me writing that often. Well, maybe I'm wrong and things have turned around and changed everything. I dunno.

Hmmm... Why don't I go over the signs and symptoms of a person sufferring from depression so I can check if I really am depressed...
  • Loss of interest in normal daily activities.
  • Depressed mood.
  • Sleep disturbances.
  • Impaired thinking or concentration.
  • Changes in weight.
  • Agitation.
  • Fatigue or slowing of body movements.
  • Low self-esteem.
  • Less interest in sex.
  • Thoughts of death.
Hmmm... Going through the list, it seems like I'm not depressed right now. Yey! But going through these signs and symptoms of depression remind me of those days not too long ago when I wanted to do nothing but just drink alcohol, sigh a lot, sleep late and wake up really early with only one thing in mind, and I was agitated really. It was also the time when I was losing 2 kilos a week (which I gained right back up after getting off that depression stage). Oh well.

I've got no more time for depression, ya know. But I'd like that change in weight stuff. That is, losing weight. Not gaining it.

Your post certainly seems much more upbeat / cheerful / optimistic so maybe you were just having a series of bad days. I sure hope so as depression is not fun to live or deal with, not for you or for the people who know you. I speak from experience here as a clinically depressed person who is unable to take any meds for it due to other health issues.

Keep your head up kiddo they'll never take us alive lol

Hey Atomicgirl!

Hope you're feeling better. It's natural to get the blues once in awhile.

They say exercising can help lift your mood and of course, help you lose weight too.

Easier said than done I know.

Or maybe try just smiling and see if it sticks. :)

Who is Atomicgirl?
Atomicgirl is a single mom who is currently jobless. Well, she does freelance SEO and writing jobs and that keeps her busy. She dreams of being a professional photographer and she dreams of owning her very own dSLR. She loves the Internet and she also collects movies, and good reads. She considers herself to be a fan of Johnny Depp and David Cook. At present, her constant source of happiness is her son, James Nicholas Sky, who is a bubbly and talkative two-and-a-half-year old. Although Atomicgirl graduated with a BA Communication Research degree, this feisty Bicolana is quite satisfied with the industry that she is involved in right now. She now lives in Legazpi City although she sometimes misses the fun times she had during her 6-year stay in the jungle of Manila. She is a woman. She is a writer. She is a mother. And she is most definitely not a saint.

Buy me a cup of coffee.
