Is it depression?

Question

I recently have been very emotionless and I’ve lost interest in many activities. I also self harmed for the first time ever just so I could feel in control of my emotions for once. Some days I’m overly happy but most days I  just want to sleep and I feel nothing or I just feel everything at once and over think every life decision. I don’t know if it is depression because I don’t want to self diagnose but I also don’t want to tell anyone about it to get help.

Answer

Those symptoms are all linked back to depression. I’ve been clinically diagnosed and have experienced all those things. Please please ask for help, whether it’s support from others or medical consultation. My symptoms spiraled way out of control without medication sadly and I see a therapist. I have my scars too, please don’t hurt yourself. If you want to self harm, use a marker and draw something where you want to self harm. I hate to see people have physicals scars from their battles. I believe you can get past this girl ❤️

Answer

It seems like it. However, the overly happy part then the just want to sleep part seems to be symptoms of bipolar. People who suffer from bipolar have periods of extreme highs then extreme lows. So you could be suffering from bipolar depression. Either way, for your well being you should see someone. You don’t have to tell family or friends if you don’t want to, but see if you can make an appointment. 💜

I go through this too, and i have depression and anxiety as well as some other personal issues. I'm not going to tell you if it's depression or not because I honestly don't know. it might be and I think you should tell someone to get help because self harm is dangerous and also you need to get better and feel good again ❤

Answer

It is difficult to say without knowing medlar background. But if it is impacting your daily functioning; taking care of yourself, going to work, going to school, keeping your home up to your normal standards, etc. you should call your Primary Care Doctor and see if you can get an appointment. They will take it from there
