So one can be depressed without FEELING depressed?
I dont want to live on medications. Is there another solution? |

| Ok this is starting to get creepy. I cant focus at all. I laugh and cry at the same time. Im starting to laugh spontaneously without any reason. Made an appointment with a psychiatrist, but i think i may be going mental here - no kidding. Am i losing a grip on sanity? |

But im not feeling depressed. I just cant focus. If anything, if i would feel bad its because my lack of usefulness > feeling bad, and not feeling bad > lackof usefullness.
How do i find out whether i have allergies or not? |

| This last month has been horrible. I cant focus on anything. Whatever ADHD problems i had have been multiplied in both magnitude and frequency. I cant read anything for more than 30 minutes straight. I always have this depressing, heavyesque feeling above my head. I cant bring myself to do anything ... |

| I cant help but think that its really not quite like that. When the sand grain becomes a pile? When does a few conversations and small talks reach into the critical mass which invokes "invitation for a hike"?

| How is it done? I cant help but thinking about relationships as video game "bars", where a conversation scores you a point, a good joke two points and so on untill you fill out your "bar" and go from "neutral" to "friendly" to "Revered" and so on. But it doesnt seem that way. How two strangers becom... |
