Could I be Depressed?

Postby SoulSeeker » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:27 pm

I don't feel sad, but I've been feeling rather numb for the last few days. Don't feel interested in very much anymore, and nothing seems to bring me any pleasure. It's like the volume on my emotions have been turned way down, so to speak. What's worse is that I don't feel like my usual self either. I feel distant from the world and other people - maybe 'cut off' might be a better way to describe it. I'm functioning at work and am more or less functional in other areas of my life, but feel quite unmotivated and don't feel like I have much to look forward to anymore. The world around me seems kind of meaningless and empty.

I don't enjoy my food either - I can taste it, but it's just OK. My appetite has been down a little, too.

Could this be depression? The way I feel so cut off makes me wonder if I'm experiencing depersonalization as well. I've been feeling this way for the last three days, and there doesn't seem to be any cause I can put my finger on, other than just waking up, getting ready for work, and noticing that I was feeling really different.

They do sound like depressive symptoms but depression is usually insidious in onset, so it is unclear as to what you have got going on. Are you tired? I think the best thing is to see your Dr and tell them what is going on and how you are feeling. Good luck.
