how depressed are you?

Post Reply New Topic

When you are depressed can you stand anyone near you, do you want to be alone or need comfort? Can you handle a hand on your shoulder form someone who loves you in that moment or do you vehemently reject and retreat into your own world? I do.

Clinically depressed, not sure, never been Diagnosed.
Emotionally, quite a lot, about 49% of the time.

I went into big time depression and seems only to aggravate ever since I got on WP: I read so much on it and it is like overkill?

I can't handle to read so much anymore and yet I am drawn to this board every day and spend hrs on it and don't do anything else anymore.
I am in a deep dip now...help

sorry to hear that but dunno how to say this but what aspie isn't?
i mean most of us (including me) is like depressed as hell your not alone
*edit: live isn't worth living if you dont live

that would be a no its unfair how whe the ones with the hard life get to deal with all the depresions and stuff it just isn't wright

Well I woudn't say I'm depressed but I fell down sometimes, when I do I my friends cheer me up.

i dont understand what you mean with that

when im depressed i dont speak to anyone.. i just dont feel like talking.. and if i have to go to work, well... i feel sorry for my co-workers.. i get cranky.

I tend to not talk to anyone either and thats a common behavior even for "NT's" if depressed. When you are really depressed you retreat.

It depends on the situation. Sometimes I just want to be completely alone in my own little world. Other times I seriously crave touch and affection. It's all or nothing for me.
But I am depressed practically all the time. It's clinical. So I spend my time occasionally amused, often amused in fact, but never truly happy.

I'm only depressed when some sort of personal downfall occurs or it's that time of the month.

I haven't been depressed in a long time. I don't let anything bad get to me, sometimes I become aware that I should be miserable but I never really feel that way anymore.

In a vast majority of cases the human mind is capable of pulling itself out of even clinical depression without medical intervention. I've simply found a way to perpetuate that state so I'm rarely bothered by much of anything anymore.

If there were a 'depression scale' of 1 through 10, with one being the least depressed and ten being the most depressed, I'd put myself around 9.5 or so. I'm in extreme 'withdrawal mode' as of this past month of August. I'm withdrawing from everyone and everything. I sleep most of the time now. I quit my job, moved back out west to help tie up some loose ends for my mother (help her get her house straightened out, etc., as she's basically an invalid now) and am finishing up a few other little odds and ends that I've left unthought-of for many years. I want to get my son enrolled in college and my husband back to work again soon. Once all these things are done, and the list of stuff to be tidied-up is complete, I'm going to take care of some final personal business that should have been done over 20 years ago. Strangely enough, I feel almost happy -- for the first time in years.
