I've been depressed for almost 2 weeks now and I'm ready to be over. everyday I've just wanted to stay in bed And while at work I just want to go home. I've been irritable this past week especially today. this guy at work has asked me if I'm ok at least 10 times and I've said yes. And he's been trying to cheer me up which always annoys me when people do that. I know they mean well but its so annoying. I don't want to laugh or smile get over it! Actually its like I physically can't my jaw feels so heavy and my throats closed up. the last time I pretty much ignored him and went to sit by myself for a while because I knew I would snap if I stayed. and of course now I feel bad about that. just 2 more hours and I can go home

hang in there. As you know, it doesn't last but feels like it will continue to go on. Maybe speak with your T and/or pdoc????

I was like that yesterday. I'm in a depressed episode too and yesterday was so pissed off for really no reason. I was at my cousin's graduation and it was the absolute last place I wanted to be because I had to pretend that nothing was wrong. I love my family but every time one of them talked to me I wanted to poke my eyes out. I was screaming shut up in my head and at the same time tryin to smile and focus in what they were saying so I could respond properly...it was exhausting. And of course Even though no one knew what I was thinking I still felt like a jerk.

No advice, just commiserating. I totally understand. I hope you feel better soon.

Hey there, wachiki92! Nice to meet you, first of all. Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. Have you considered the possibility that you might not actually have a depression disorder? Generally most of the depression types requires persistent symptoms lasting more than two weeks. You could be just going through a bad period. If you believe you are suffering from depression though, i offer you to make a research upon the subject and try to get to know about your condition in more detail.

Depression is not treated so quickly in many cases, but it is definitely treatable when the right approachment is used. You can cope with it with patience, time and further help. I'm dealing with depression too and it has not been easy; however i can see that light at the end of tunnel. May you find your sunlight too.

Depression or not, i suggest you to consult a professional either way. Opening up to a trusted one and talking about how you've been feeling lately is a good choice too. Monitoring yourself closely and figuring out what doesn't feels right is a big step. And remember, there's no need to be ashamed about what you're going through. As soon as you accept your issues, you'd be more confident with who you are.

When dealing with your co worker, a positive attitude might help you not to get irritated. Don't forget that he's trying to reach you, so approaching him with gratitude would please both him and you.

Good luck and don't hesitate to seek for help when the times are bad. We are here to support you.
