Depression the deep dark hole of ourselves
"Save me from this nothing I've become" - evanescence
Symptoms of Depression
A bleak outlook-nothing will ever get better and there's nothing you can do to improve your situation.
Loss of interest in dailly activities
No interest in or ability to enjoy former hobbies, pastimes, social activities, or sex.
Appetite or weight changes
Significant weight loss or weight gain-a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month.
Sleep changes
Either insomnia or oversleeping (also known as hypersomnia).
Either feeling "keyed up" and restless or sluggish and physically slowed down.
Loss of energy
Feeling fatigued and physically drained. Even small tasks are exhausting or take longer.
Self-loathing
Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. Harsh criticism of perceived faults and mistakes.
Concentration problems
Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.
Irritability
Easily annoyed or frustrated. Lashing out in anger or snapping at others.
Aches and pains
New or worse physical symptoms, including headaches, backaches, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, and aching joints.

- I was depressed for a while - the cause? I'd forgotten to follow my joy/heart. There may be manifold causes of depression I don't know about, but I believe a chief cause is the condition of pleasing others before pleasing ourselves; somewhere along the line we've got to fight for our freedom, be true to ourselves, at least depression allows us to take stock and start afresh. Although it might seem otherwise in the depths of depression, there's good in all things,
Robbie

- Thanks for stopping by my lens and I appreciate your comments. I also have a lens on depression and Saint Johns Wort. May help you I don't know. I know it has helped me with the depression I encountered when I quit drinking. Also, ALANON is very helpful if your find yourself surrounded by active alcoholics. It's also a great support. I'll put you in my prayers and affirmations.
