What exactly could I have?


Question Posted Sunday March 22 2015, 10:40 am

Thank you for the advice you gave me about when I asked what was wrong with me. I do have a question though. If I do have depression than why are there times when I am happy? There are times when I feel like nothing could go wrong than all of a sudden my mood will change and I'll feel like the world is weighing on my shoulders. I looked up depression and it does shows some of the signs but it's not constantly going on 24/7. Sometimes it's every day and sometimes it's every week when it gets real bad, but when things bother me my thoughts seem to overwhelm me. I already have medical issues such as migraines and stomach illness that I'm on medication for, but I have allergies and orthstatic hypotension that always causes my mom to worry. I have passed out from it three times and twice was in the same day. The doctor said I'm gonna have to be on medication for that too.If there was even a chance I had depression and I told her, that would only cause them to watch over me all the more and never let me out of the house. I don't want to tell them because they are always checking on me from the orthstatic hypotension and I don't want to add more to it. Even if I did, I doubt they would believe me, 'cause I usually bottle up my feelings. I try not to let things bother me too much, but it seems like throughout the week, one moment I'll feel normal, then perky, and depressed. If I have depression how could I feel real happy at some points, and at some point feel nothing at all, while at other points I feel like anything will set me off or cause me to break down?

There are several different types of depression. I actually struggle with about the same one you seem to, where it is off and on. That happens to me too, where I am happy for a bit, but then the tiniest little thing could send me spiraling down into a deep depression. Depression works that way sometimes. Out of nowhere it could hit, and it usually hits hard. That's why medication is there, to help balance it better. (Even though my all natural stuff doesn't always work if I am Really depressed about something, but usually does) I understand your concern, but your depression could get really out of hand and make you do something you regret if you don't seak help. You could maybe ask your cousin or someone to help you get some kind of help? Like all natural meds, maybe? But I highly suggest you do something to help it.
Hope this helps~
