There are plenty of people out here. Many of the symptoms of depression can be difficult for outsiders to "grasp" so it is good to have a forum like this where people understand. There are also lots of support groups available that meet regularly so you might want to try to find one near you.
Have you seen anyone for treatment? People tend not to talk about depression but the truth is that a lot more is known about causes and treatment nowadays. If you haven't already you should seek a good mental health professional to get an evaluation. It is important to be diagnosed properly by a professional, once they know the root of the problem there is help available. If the cause of the problem is medical, it could be a chemical imbalance in the brain, there are many medicines are available to help. Sometimes it can take a while to find the right medicine that works for you without the problem of side effects. Whether or not medicines are indicated, some sort of therapy would be advised to help you cope with your symptoms, change your lifestyle to reduce its severity, and learn about the causes and "triggers" of your symptoms. The meds don't provide a "cure" they just even out the chemical imbalance so that therapy can be effective.
But sharing your feelings and thoughts is also an important step, so please post more. It is good to share with people who can and will understand.
