Everyone feels blue sometimes,but when feeling down turns into depression,you've got to take action...
FEELING blue because you a C for that essay you worked so hard on ? Because you didn't make the team ? Because you can't get invited to the cool parties ? Because your parents are arguing - again ?
Life is becoming more stressful for everyone.Being down or sad because something isn't going well is perfectly normal.Everyone has a bad day,or even a bad week,every now and again.The problem starts when you feel bad for long periods of time.If you feel down for two weeks,doctors say you should seek medical help for depression :)
EIGHT SIGNS YOU'RE DEPRESSED....
cant figure out if you're just having a tough time or if you should talk to someone? check out this checklist :
#1 you feel helpless and hopeless...
No matter what's going on,you have this feeling that everything sucks,and that nothing you can do will change that - ever....
#2 Everything bores you...
You smile when your friends joke,but you don't feel it inside.You used to love swimming but now just can't be bothered.Even food doesn't taste right.
#3 You are exhausted...
You feel like you weigh a tonne,and everything exhausts you.Plus,you feel sore and achy like you've been working out too much.
#4...But you have insomnia
Although you're tired,your thoughts keep you awake half the night.
#5 Your brain is mush...
you can't think straight.You forget where you put things,can't make decisions,and cant concentrate - not even when you're watching Edward Cullen or Katie Perry do his/her stuff :)
#6 You're fighting mad...
Everything and everyone gets on your nerve.
#7 You hate yourself...
When you think of yourself,you can make up a long list of faults,but somehow,you can't think of your good points.
#8 Your body looks weird...
Your eating habits have totally changed,and you find yourself either stick thin or super fat.And those changes happened in like a month !
DEPRESSED = CRAZY ?? xD
