Checklist for Depression

 I got the following from MedicineNet.com and I’ve used it to access myself.

Depression Symtoms

Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood -> Quite often

Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism -> Sometimes

Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness -> Hardly

Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including sex -> Maybe.

Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down” -> Very often

Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions -> Quite often

Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping -> Very often

Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain -> Not sure if I’ve gained or loss weight.

Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts -> Never

Restlessness, irritability -> Sometimes

Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain -> Maybe 

 

I’m 80% sure that I’m suffering from mild depression.

 

Time of the Month

I wonder if my red eye has got anything to do with ovulation or menstrual cycle. It occurs monthly.. and for no reason at all. I hope I’m not becoming blind.
