If I could get some feedbacks as to if this sounds like depression or not to you...
I think I have gone through periods of depression before, during major changes or whatnot. Throughout that I am a very down to earth naturally happy person. I am very positive on things and smile a lot.
After a break up with my bf a couple years ago, I was very sad and it was very hard for me. After that I don't really know if I've felt happy. I mean I am happy in moments, but not generally feeling like I usually do. Since then I am good for a while, but then get really down. Which is fine, I'm sure it just takes time.
However, I've noticed a lot the last month or two that it just seems different. Rather than being a happy person and just getting down with situations, I feel more down and unhappy all of the time, with no reason, and just happy in particular moments. It just really stands out to me, because I'm used to feeling good. Sometimes I will get in a really good feeling mood and then it can be dropped back down within the next minute. I am a lot more irritable and I don't seem to get a lot of things done. I have taken online tests to see what the results on there are, and it says mild depression.
I just really want to feel like myself again. Not sure if it's just other things, (as there have been many changes in my life lately, but no bad ones) or if it would be considered depression. I've just considered that because I've been feeling this way for quite a while, and when I think about why I don't feel more happy, I'm not so sure why it's like this. I am tired of feeling this way and not really sure what the reason is for.
I have thought about making a doctors appointment, in the past too, but I just feel weird doing that. I'm not sure really what to say, or if it is depression or not. So just wanting to see what other people think!
Thanks!
PS- If it sounds like depression, are there any suggestions as to things I could do to fix it? As for the same if it doesn't sound like depression...
