Q: Possibly depressed ?

Even if good things happen to me i still feel upset inside. I smile and try to laugh but it feels fake to me. I cannot sleep or eat. Food looks like vomit when i look at it. When i sleep its very restless or i just cant get to sleep. I find it hard to keep interested in one topic. Also things that used to make me happy just don't work anymore. Can be Depressed? I don't want to go on meds since I am currently on Ritalin but I am starting to get worse.

Very easily could be depressed
If you don't want to go on meds you may want to try cbt which will teach you how to manage your stress and anxiety which should help with the depression. It takes some work but I think you will really be pleased with the results. Try and join a group or read the book by sam obitz (which is generally easy to read and identify with and teaches you the right and wrong way to use a tea form). I learned the tea form exercise in my group and it has become a staple in my life that helps me keep my anxiety at a minimum and it eliminated most of my depressive moods. Just a slight change in how you process things in your life can lead to large changes in your mood. I hope this is helpful to you Smile
