Deferences depression and feeling down
Hi. I want to know the deferences between depressed and feeling down. I feel down sometimes but I'm not sure if i have depression or it's just my personality. I will be happy to hear some advices thank you:)
Hi Shinya, The best way I can differentiate between depression and feeling down is that depression sometimes saps ALL emotions from you (happiness, caring about anything, etc) and makes you feel like a shell of yourself. Being down means you’re still able to feel and experience the sadness in the present and not ruminate constantly about one single event or events for weeks on end. It’s a blessing to feel any emotions at all, and sadness is a temporary emotion that motivates you to fix things. Depression comes on for no apparent reason and seeps into everything you do.
