Depressions+ The symptoms

30 Sept 2011


Do you have days when you feel that everything is out of control? When you feel burned out, crabby, pressured, wired and panicky? When others comment that you are edgy, restless, wound up and moody? Depression usually affects us emotionally and physically. Women especially tend to get physical symptoms when they are depressed. I am not amazed of this :| In a recent study, over 60% of teenage girls complained of feeling stressed. Three out of four agree that school is the No. 1 stressor. The list of culprits includes lack of sleep, parental expectations, self-esteem issues, sibling strife, boyfriends and dating, looking good enough, and the old standby, peer pressure.

  • Look at this symptoms, so you'll know if you are in depression, or no.
  1. Feel depressed all the time
  2. Lose interest in things you used to like
  3. Have a big change in your appetite
  4. Sleep a lot or not much at all
  5. Feel anxious or high energy all the time, or the opposite (have really low energy almost everyday)
  6. Feel tired and have no energy
  7. Feel bad about yourself (low self-worth/low self-esteem)
  8. Feel confused; have trouble making decisions
  9. Think about death or suicide
+irritability, headache, nausea, fatigue, increased heart rate, and a pessimistic outlook. 




If you have any of this symptoms, than this is kinda bad. You need help, because mostly for this teen-years this problem has to be solved.

My advice for you is that no one can save you, just yourself. You need to get out of this, because this is your life.
 Deal with it, try to see the positive sides of each thing. Eat more fruits and vegetables, listen to some inspiring music, get some vitamins, think more, walk more, read some interesting book in the park, DONT stay home, go at some parties, MAKE some. Polish your nails with yellow or pink, some funny colors :) Create your own style and make some bracelets etc...:) Do your best and all will be ok. Speak to somebody, let them now your issues & They will have you, mostly your parents. Dont forget that some friends dont really care. 
<3 I believe in you.
