You can the difference if the feeling of sadness lasts longer after that while. If you don't feel that way then after a week+ you do, it could be bipolar disorder. Just be careful when self diagnosing because it could be too soon, always talk to a professional about how you feel.

With the blues, you can believe it will get better. With depression you tend to not be able to see the light at the and of the tunnel and become hopeless. The blues can become depression, so be careful.

If you are being feeling down for a while you can tell if it's depression or just in the blues by seeing if it goes for more than a day that you are sad if you feel sad every day than it may lean more toward depression if it's only sad for one day for a certain period and okay the next da than it's just you're under the blues.
