Do I suffer from any kind of depression?

[YoungSem]

My name is Semir (Strange name, I know) and recently I went through a breakup. I know some people will just recommend to move past it but i really feel like it has changed me in a lot of ways. The relationship was the only thing that kept me from doing bad things at the time and having someone so important in my life taken away from me is like removing a part of myself. The symptoms I have are :

Trouble Sleeping, Mood swings, feelings of worthlessness/guilt, loss of energy, loss of interest in activities I usually enjoyed and just generally feeling upset and remembering moments from my relationship that I can't get out of my head

If anybody can let me know if maybe I am suffering from depression and/or how I can move past this moment in my life, I would very much appreciate any kind of feedback.

I do not know how old you are, all I can think and suggest if this is first love it can take a period of extended time to lick your wounds and be kind to yourself and your worries and concerns. It took me near on two years to get over first love especially if you have suffered some part a rejection.

Whatever happens first, second or even third love we always feel the negativity and associated time wasted caused by the loss, we all wonder if all this negativity is worth the trouble as we may have dropped our guard and become unable to move on because of it.

Failed relationships are always difficult we open ourselves to others, this is not a weakness it is part of living and finding someone else to hopefully spend your life with.

Live your life, there will be someone out their waiting to find someone like you to spend their life with.

We all need to educate ourselves and search for someone who has similar needs. Dust yourself down and possibly understand this loss as a possible good thing, they were not the right person to spend your life with.

We always seem to suffer throughout or lives as far as various types of loss are concerned, this is part of life, we move on.

Give yourself time, it is a great healer, medications just suppress your concerns, sometimes getting over this type of problem is better just taking its course. It is a lesson we all need to learn

Hey Bob,

I really appreciate your reply and honestly it has helped me to realise that I can move past it. Your advice was amazing and will stay in my head for a long time.

Hi Sem,

I really like what Bob said, and he is most likely spot on about your situation. I would totally agree to avoid medications right now... If anything, perhaps you could speak with a therapist...it might be good to get some professional feedback... It is not necessarily a 'long term' thing... sometimes just several talks are what is needed. Best wishes to you. I have a feel you ARE going to be just fine! Takes time!
