Fuck, I'm scared of being alone, I'm scared I'm gonna loose a grip on myself and there will be noone to talk me back. How do you know you are depressed?

Bro, think of it like this. All the shit makes you stronger. Don't go live with your mum, live on your own. You will become more independent, you will learn you don't need to rely on other people.

Just remember, feeling bad is natural, for there to be happiness, there has to be the opposite.

This shit all makes you stronger, if you lived a life of care free happiness, you wouldn't be half the person you would be if you went through tough times, tough times show you who you really are. Get introspective.

Also, exercise, eat lots of fruit and veg and water, try cut out lots of junk food. Food has a massive impact on our minds, it's a drug by definition.

Oh look we're so casual all of the sudden, calling people bro. Bro, bro, bro. God fuck off.

you know you're depressed when you feel your world suddenly starting to shrink around you. it's like a feeling of omnipresent powerlessness, as if you are being forced down into a hole and have no way to get out of it.

don't worry though, psychjologists have been working on depression for years and there are plenty of things you can do about it. You will find lots of helpful suggestions just be looking online. As someone else has already said, exercise is important, as is doing lots of little chores. as in, if you see something that needs doing, no matter how small, sort it out straight away. these are all textbook things you can do to combat depression.

Hard to tell. I had it pretty mild, and I didn't even know until I was diagnosed with it. I just kept assuming I was having a bad day. Over and over and over again. Reading is also pretty much out of the question, too. Which only made it worse.

But being afraid of being alone is pretty normal, I think. If you have friends, call them regularly. But I have complexes, so I don't know how objective I am.

The problem with parents is that they're parents, and don't count. I mean, meeting up with them is good, but you really need a third party or you'll just get agitated over the fact that your mother is the only person you can call when you're sad. Trust me, it feels bad, man.

Focus on the small things. For example. right now I'm drinking vanilla milk so good it tastes like ice-cream, and it's keeping me from wondering what the fuck I'm doing home at 3pm on a saturday.

Lonely is a story. I am lonely.
Alone is a fact. I am alone.

I hope you fix your petty attitude in the future, bro. I was trying to help the guy out and you criticize me for saying bro.

Goodluck op

When you say "bro" you sound like a fratboy douche, and no one takes you seriously. Petty or not, that's reality.

You know, most people are at home or work at 3pm, they don't go out till later in the evening.

Posting a thread on the wrong board is the first sign of depression.

>How do you know you are depressed?

I'm assuming it's like stress or anxiety and when i'm either of those things i feel as if the arteries in my chest are tied in a knot, there's a lead weight in my intestines and i feel happy, or even to act happy with any enthusiastic inflection in my voice.
