Is this depression?

[Guest Spd650]

Hi, thanks for reading.

For the first time in my life my yard looks awful..and I don't care. My car is trashed..and it's ok. Home improvement projects that I've enjoyed doing and planning..no interest.

Yes I lost my live in little about a month ago but after an intense period of mourning I've embraced the pros. So I don't think that's it.

Thoughts? Advice?

Thank you,

Steve

So you've no motivation to right now and feeling pretty blah. No. That certainly doesn't sound anything like actual depression. Sounds like human nature. But who knows. You might be.

[Guest Spd650]

Ok thank you. It's a very new place for me. Made me nervous!

[Guest SUeB]

Hey, i might be wrong, just saying it doesn't sound anything like it to me. And you're welcome.

it sounds like indicators for depression, in which case, your motivation to do the things you know need doing would be the next checker.

 

Given you went through a relationship loss a month ago, it's hardly surprising and very typical behaviour, unless you embrace those things as distraction.. But most tend to let chores fall off the list.

 

As I say, to me your solution to these things is the main thing.

Thank you both.

Let me just begin with,

 

I am not a  professional, and if you're considerably worried about having depression or being depressed, please go see a professional who can give you educated help. I'd like to begin with the fact that there is a difference between being depressed and having depression. I consider depression to be the persisting and lingering condition where you are depressed. You can be depressed without having depression, and many people feel depressed after certain events in their life without having depression. I think in your case it's more of a matter of being depressed rather than actually having depression. Even if the breakup itself didn't cause this, the change in your life might have. 

 

I would say if this feeling persists and begins to inhibit or obstruct your life and how you live your life, then you should be worried. As someone who has felt that lack of motivation before, it sucks ass but sometimes just giving yourself a break can do wonders.

 

Once again, if you are seriously worried, or feel that you need to know whether or not this is depression, please go see a professional.

 

(please correct me if anything in this post is incorrect I'm always open to new information)

[Guest Spd650]

I think you're probably right across the board. I've had the lazys before but my unfinished chores bothered me. This time they don't. So I'm probably depressed bit not suffering depression. I also think it's more to do with the sudden change in life style.

I'll keep an eye on myself. Thank you.

Hi!

 

Yes, that's depression. Depression actually has many forms, and one of them is apathy to life. Apathy to life is the feeling of nothing or things don't matter. When someone has this kind of depression they don't do things they used to love, they don't take care of themselves or their home. In some cases it leads to the kind of depression most people understand depression to be, and sometimes it doesn't progress.

 

Everyone feels this way sometimes, but what makes it depression is the length and severity of the feelings or lack thereof.
