I feel down all the time well not all the time i can be happy for a few days then feel really down and anger. I worry what every1 thinks, i also think that people are talking about me and looking at me. Recently i have begun to forget a lot of things even if some1 has just told me. I'm only 29. Im having my hormone levels checked just now as my periods are now over 3 weeks late. Don't think i can go on feelin down all the time.

Answer:

Go to your GP, they should be understanding. You may need a short course of anti-depressants.

Try and cheer up a bit, I know how hard it is sometimes, look outside at the sunshine, go for a little walk. Feed the squirrels and pigeons. These are things I do to try and remain positive.

Good Luck!

maybe you have a spirit of depression trying to over take you. Pray to the Father that He will deliver you. You're too young to be losin g your memory. I'm going to pray that things get better for you.

boo - I can tell you that what you are experiencing is completely normal. I was just talking to my friend today about the same thing saying that is how I felt and she is thinking the same thing too! - Perhaps it is the time of year. Don't worry about your memory, I forget everything and I am not joking either - problem is when you feel down, you lose concentration and motivation and it is easy to forget things. I would ask your GP for a routine full blood test and obviously, see what your hormone test says. In the meantime, try to think positively - you will come out of this. It sounds like you are becoming anxious and that is probably the reason why you are thinking that people are talking about you and looking at you - the aren't, it is just taht you feel low so are thinking the worst. Look after yourself and relax. Please don't ask for antidepressents or anything like that - I have thought about it myself at times but you don't want to take anything that plays with your mind. x

You are describing very common usual symptoms of low-grade depression. I am familiar with all of them. People don't realize the ones about , thinking people are talking about you, and having things slip your mind! That happens to me. You are doing the right thing having medical tests, working with a doctor. Slog through it, but if you are having thoughts of suicide, get some heavy-duty help immediately.
