[GenCat]

when you spend over 21 hours in the bed, not even to get up to eat.
you know your depressed when...keep it going!

[Lost in this world]

when not even a joke and make you laugh

[jesusplay]

When you find no joy in life, it all seems so pointless and repetitive. No one understands, it's me vs the world and the world, a big weight on my shoulders I can physically feel...yadadadaa

[bronzeowl]

You know you're depressed when you cannot decide what to do because you don't enjoy any of it any more. So, instead of doing anything, you end up opening your favorite game. Staring for five minutes. Closing it. Going to Netflix. Watching for five minutes. Closing it. Trying to read a book. Reading one sentence. Closing it. Until, eventually, all you can do is stare at a screen.

[Arethusa]

....you're just not hungry.

[themonster7]

When everything is going well in your life but you feel an uncontrollable sense of despair.

[herethennow]

when you're listening to an upbeat and cheerful song but all you feel inside is nothing. Either that or a sense of despair.

[Raindropvampire]

you manage to drag your butt into the shower and it feels like an accomplishment just because you bathed.

[IndieVisible]

I'll come back to this when I am depressed prolly won't be too long..

[Sadley]

you feel like everything is pointless, when you have no friends, when nobody wants to have anything to do with you.

When you see no future.

[Touch of gray]

when you were at the end of your rope and let go - and now you don't care if you ever find it again.

[HealingNSuffering]

When you know you need a shower but lack the motivation. Even though you can smell yourself

[unhappycamper463]

when you are watching midgets swimming on tv and are still crying

[shortandcute]

.....when you don't even care that your house stinks or is a mess....
,,,when you'd rather just go hungry than make the effort to shop or cook...
...when you stick your cats outside so they can hunt for food, 'cuz you just don't have it in you to feed them...
...when you nap all day and still feel exhausted....
.....when you're always asking to your kids to get you this or that--when you can easily get it yourself, but you don't have the gumption...
...when people think you're mad at them because you just don't have it in you to say hello to them or try to be polite or pleasant...
...when you are no longer employable because, at the few jobs you've had you a) were calling in sick all the time b) got complaints from people about your "bad attitude" c) just seemed to be a lot more tired than everyone else d) didn't get much done on the job because, well, you know.....e) never appeared presentable on the job because you couldn't bring yourself to so much as comb your hair, or iron your clothes, or even make sure they were clean and not full of stains and mold.....

Wow. Somehow it feels good to know that others have the same experience I have. This is so familiar...only I add a little alcohol to the mix to make it interesting.

If this is true, how did it get this way? Where are your friends?==

Uh, hello? This is a thread about depression.

[Poppy Princess]

I know I am depressed when I am watching the same youtube video... a third time.

Somehow, it does help knowing.

You know you're depressed when every little thing seems to make you feel so small.

I know what you mean---I've done that with a lot of movies and shows. I used to watch West Side Story at least once or twice a day, every day, for the longest time and would just cry every time I watched it.

[Ost89]

When hours pass without noticing anything other than your worthlessness,
when everyone appreciate you and your work and you think it's just garbage even saving someone's life
And when only answering your phone make you feel like suffocating

Yeah but that is a great movie!! Leonard Bernstein plus Shakespeare plus Gomez Addams plus Natalie Wood?? You may be depressed but you have outstandingly good taste!!

[SilverNeurotic]

When I feel on the verge of crying all the time...

[bronzeowl]

You know you're depressed when you're wide awake but you try to go back to sleep, anyway, just to avoid having to face the day.
