Depression symtpoms: irritable, hopeless, guilty feelings
Posted: 05-05-07 04:49am

Hi i have been suffering from anxiety with depression bouts for what is going on 7 years. I suffer from the following.
I eat more when happy and i tend to eat very little when feeling depressed
I don't find it hard to get to sleep but i am often up and down stairs a lot which is a change from when i was younger when i couid sleep like a baby.
Anxiety can be social but can come out of nowhere toilet anxiety as well hear raceing etc. depression is like just overcomes me i can be enjoying something when this happens as well.
I have had low energy for years and i feel i am getting weaker.
When i am happy i will have a shave wash my hair etc when i am not i don't see the point.
I feel guilty sometimes for no reason at all and in worse case feel hopeless.
find it hard to concentrate untill relaxe
I have periods where i waik around irritable waiking around the house in the garden till it stops. I am asking weither or not i shouid go and see somebody if so who? and what does it sound like?

According to the symptoms you report including a variable appetite depending upon mood, insomnia, weakness, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, low interest for usual activities, feeling of guiltiness and hopeless you could be experiencing some type of neurotic depression or anxious-depressive disorder. Treatment in cases like this often include psychotherapy combined with anti-depressives from the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (paroxetine, sartraline, fluoxetine…). You can consult a mental health professional for an expert opinion.
