what is depression and how does it differ from being sad
stay tuned for some answers so what exactly is depression for me it was a
feeling that what the life force had been sucked out of me because I suffered
from depression on all through my life since I was a teenager and when I've had
it it's it's often felt that you know nothing's worth doing anymore I couldn't
serve muster the energy to do things I didn't look forward to things I couldn't
see the point basically and so my mood was very heavy and very down and
miserable I oh I had lots of negative thoughts running through my head and I'd
often look back at things that I felt weren't good though that I'd done and
would go over and over these thoughts in my head I shouldn't have done this I you
know why did I do that it's ruined my life for really really negative thoughts
but everyone feels slightly different I think the depression and when I had a
look became interested in how other people felt I I did a research and I
found a list of various you know comments about it so I'm gonna read a
few to you now hopefully this will help someone said feeling dark lonely scared
sleep is the only escape from your pain someone else said it's like your mind is
paralyzed someone else said it makes me feel like I'm a tiny seed stuck at the
bottom of a pot plant the more I tried to grow and break free the more dirt and
soil for it falls on me suffocating me and pushing me down it's truly these are
all you know very real feelings and someone else said being depressed is all
your emotions taken away from you apart from negative ones like sadness
anxiety and fear so all of these comments are very where that they all
have a common theme of being very negative but people describe them
differently and I suspect that we all know if one who suffers from depression
does feel it differently there's also a physical aspect to it too you know we've
suggested that in the illness in the heaviness that I feel very heavy hearted
my limbs seem to strangely feel heavier and I think a lot of people might feel
this you might get back pain on a bad stomach all those sorts of things so
there's a physical and emotional Thanks and as someone else described to
me once you know it's like you've got it's more visible pain than you've ever
felt physically and yet no one can see it and that's so true it's a very is a
silent disease if you like although you know people that are close to you will
notice changes in your behavior so how does it different from sadness more
sadness is it's much different because usually it's in relation to something
that's happened we lose a job or someone close to you that you you love has moved
away for a while and you feel sad about that but the mood will lift eventually
you'll find strategies to cope more easily and and you'll you'll be able to
still have pleasure in doing other things but when you're depressed you
can't it though everything seems very gloomy and and awful so that's the main
difference and also doctors will diagnose depression if you've had
consistently negative and dark feelings for two weeks or more which is not
normally the case when you're feeling sad about things there are lots of other
symptoms of course that doctors use when they look at depression and but they're
not necessarily the same for everyone the two main ones are anhedonia when you
when you lose interest in the things that you used to find pleasurable and
the depressed feeling that we've just talked about here the low mood and
negative thoughts running through your head so the other things that you might
find is you might lose your appetite to go off food you might not be sleeping
properly and your focus goes a bit you lose concentration on things and you
might be tired a lot you might feel a lot of tightness and fatigue and
recurrent thoughts or you know nasty things happening and even like hurting
or harming yourself and if you feel like this please do get in touch with
