I'm on the border of depression and apathy

wow this chart really summed up my life for the last year.

Optimism rn i guess. Had an interview at a prestigious place that's in my field of study with plenty of room for growth. It went pretty well but now I just have to wait for the email telling me that they'll let me know if they have anything suitable for me in the future...

When does my real life start again?

This circle is pretty accurate. I should start keeping a diary or something and noting how long the phases last.
I was in the failure & boredom stage for the past week, before that, briefly, optimism, before that a long time of apathy, now am in depression. What a ride, lads. What a ride.

>>37242119
I have boredom, failure, depression & apathy combo.

Last stride of optimism was a couple months ago.

Can you manage to have moments of happiness and/or optimism while having depression?

I've always wondered if that doesn't tell "common depression" from "diagnosed depression".

I was optimistic a couple months ago...probably depression

>>37243253
I don't claim to have depression, since I don't. Most people who say they have depression just feel sad sometimes like a lot of people do.
From what I've gathered, if you have real, diagnosed depression then you shouldn't have intervals of happiness. It should all just be one crushing blur. Not entirely sure though.

>>37243330
Wondering for myself. I've been stuck in constant sadness/anhedonia for a few months, but sometimes it seems to go away for a short while (two days at most).

Always comes back, though.

This circle represents my live

The best way to know is to go to a therapist. They can diagnose you and also put you on medication if you need it.
But you can still feel like shit without depression, I sure do. I honestly just wish I could just sleep for a long time right now.

Just been in a really long (around half a year or so) deppression cycle (docs say its because I have it medically but I`m not sure I buy it) and now I think I`m entering Optimism, which fuck that I hope its just the eye of the storm.

> I honestly just wish I could just sleep for a long time right now.

Yeah, summed up my feels anon.

If you remove optimism from this cycle it would be more accurate for me. Also I think Im somewhere between failure & Boredom and Depression. Now that I think about it you should just replace optimism with boredom.

was in optimism for about 5 hours and now im in failure and boredom
