i dont see any reason to smile.
Ive been like this for a while. I havent smiled because to be honest i dont want to, because i always smile. Just smile and get on with it. Just smile and move on with life. Just smile and be happy.
So i dont smile.

I dont see any reason to frown.
My life isnt that bad. I get 3 meals a day if iget up on time, i have a loving family, and i have friends and good health.
So i dont frown.

Which leaves me with a blank expression.
And i dont see any reason to be blank.
Because right now i dont feel blank.

And tbbh i feel pretty selfish posting this because so many people are worse off than me. Its understandable others are sad, because they actually have reason to be.
I dont have a reason to be sad. Or i cant think why i am, but i am. And now im pushing it on to people who read this. Im sorry. I should stop mopeing but meh.

Please don't discount your emotions or yourself. Your thoughts, feelings, and self are just as important as anyone else who posts here or lives in this world.

Hi niamhh504,

I have found depression has taken my reasons and desire to smile about anything several times in my life. I have been dealing with depression for about 29 years. I believe depression is a disease and it does not need a bad, or hard time in your life to come. Sometimes it just shows up! I have needed psychiatric medications to help me deal with this disease. I have felt well in the past on the correct drugs.

Have you been to a psychiatrist for an evaluation? Are you seeing a therapist or on medication? I am sorry you are feeling so down!

ive never been to a psychiatrist or theripist actually. So i dont even know if i am depressed or not. Though when i think about it, there must be something wrong in my head because i SI at times, my friend who is depressed thinks i should go see someone, and somehow last time in the quiz here i got the result severly depressed, so there must even be a tiny bit of depression.
I should go to a doctor, but i dunno. Im a lil scared to.

Hi niamhh504,

I believe depression is a disease. It is not a character flaw, or something you can just turn off if you have a strong will. Sometimes depression will heal on its own, but often times it will continue for long periods of time. An area in your brain isn't functioning correctly.

I understand it is scary to see a doctor, but having someone you know recommend a good one may help. I think getting a diagnosis would be interesting to you. Getting on the correct medication can help the misery you are feeling.
