Am I depressed!!!
Hi i dont have depression but i have been crying a lot lately.x
Hi
Not necessarily. Both anxiety and depression are linked to tearfulness, but depression is also linked to tearlessness and feelings of emptiness/lack of emotions. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's more common for depression to present itself as a numbness/lack of emotions/loss of pleasure in everything including things once enjoyed, rather than actually crying. I used to have depression and that was how it was with me. I'm more emotional with anxiety and tend to cry more than when I had depression.
Saying that, I believe some people do cry a lot when depressed, so maybe it affects people differently.
HI, my personal experience is that anxiety and depression seem to come together, one can trigger the other. my started with depression at school and anxiety came later when depression was not dealt with in time. x
Hi,
Do you find you are sleeping more or less, disturbed sleep, racing thoughts. Eating more or less,drinking more or less. Unable to make decisions. Not enjoying things you used to- if this has been happening for more than a few days you may well be suffering from depression and a good thing would be to go and see your GP. You say you cry at nothing,the emotional lability can occur with depression as well as thoughts of worthlessness I do think a chat with the GP would point you in the right direction
