I feel guilty for saying I have depression. I don't know what depression is. I see people who have it much worse than me. People who self harm, people who've actually really considered or tried to kill themselves
I just can't get out of bed. I have little desire to do much and am sad a lot. inb4 just change your lifestyle. I'm already pretty active, I'm a stand up open mic'er, i work a physical job, have friends.
idk i could sleep like 10 hours and feel exhausted and just lay there fading in and out of sleep for another 2 or 3 hours after that. I'm just worried about taking medication, is it worth checking into? I just don't think my "depression" is severe enough.
I used to feel the same, ironically it's when things in my life started going really shit and I felt 10x worse and was diagnosed with clinical depression that I realised how long I had been depressed.
There's levels to this shit but you're still depressed and you need to address it and treat it as such. Maybe this is how you feel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysthymia
Either way, you should seriously consider seeing a therapist
