how do you know

hi bad day. the last few lines say it all. these are depressive symptoms. labeling is the pits, and i hate it. remember this my dear friend-depression is a medical condition just like my diabetes is. just like my arthritis and so on. i can see by your signature you have a lot going on and when things build up we tend to lose it. please talk with your doctor. there are many different forms of treatment out there and your doctor is the first port of call to get the ball rolling. maybe writing some of your feelings / moods down and anything else pertinant as this will aide your doctor in his / her asessment.

know that we are here for you. take care and keep posting. others will come on with further wisdom. sending healing warm thoughts your way.

You can have depression symptons that last only a few days and then are back to yourself again. this does not mean you are chronicly depresssed.

However, folks with chronic illness or pain, can fall into a depression over the years of switching medications, rollercoaster pain rides, ebb and wanes of illness symptons. It all plays into the game. Secret is to learn positive coping skills to battle the depression that may come alone with all the downers.
