Depression

MikeTillman

For the past six months, I am crying without no definite reason. I had a sad childhood, strange mannerisms and wrecked life before (my parents broke up when I was five) but I did not feel anything till this time. I cry often and experiencing random burst outs of sadness, even when I am travelling, walking or simply trying to sleep. I don't know if this is depression since depression should be diagnosed properly by a licensed physician. Thanks for the answers.

(P.S. If you have further questions, feel free to ask me, I will not hold back any info since your answers are a big help to me.)

@zaijamarban I noticed that I have frequent mood swings and total lack of energy through most days, and I am oversleeping to this day. I have no total desire to talk to anyone (even I messaged them first but I will leave them wondering for my next reply).

Been really sad today, I caught my girlfriend with someone else yesterday evening.

Try considering therapy pets if you are someone like me who is fond of animals. There are several benefits of therapy pets. It is scientifically proven t interaction with a gentle, friendly pet has significant benefits. It really helps to overcome depression and cheers you up. As it is said, dogs are a man’s best friends so it decreases feelings of isolation and alienation in people. It also helps children overcome speech and emotional disorders. I have been suffering from ADHD and anxiety for years and during this painful journey what helped me the most is my emotional support dog. I found this article online and started searching for an ESA after reading this I must say having assistance or service dogs is a wonderful idea but make sure your pet should be well behaved.https://esacare.com/top-3-benefits-of-an-emotional-support-animal-on-adhd-by-14-renowned-experts/

Depression and anxiety are really life-threatening. People don't take it seriously but these can actually lead you to suicide. I had been combating depression for many years. The suffering, the ignorance, and feeling of low self-esteem is so worse. I use to ground myself in my room for days and got totally anti-social. I was recommended Medical cannabis to cope up with my anxiety and depression. Since last year I'm better than before. It's not easy to get rid of something once you are in it. I know Drug addiction can be life-threatening. Never stop using a drug all of sudden. Your body is immune and used to getting a particular dosage of that drug so stoping it can cause major withdrawal symptoms and is very uncomfortable. That is why I didn't rely on opioids for my treatment. https://mdberry.com/health-uses-medical-marijuana/ I read how experts appreciate medical marijuana for coping up with depression and I took that. Trust me I am much better than before. Infact back to normal. Raise your head, man up and combat this depression.

Your sadness and all those bursts of emotion you are feeling can be traced back to your childhood. you did not receive adequate attention from your parents or family and that's what caused you to have a troubled childhood. You most likely have a case of what is generally known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or generally known as ADHD. Look for an emotional support animal that you can adopt to help you treat this disorder https://esacare.com/top-3-benefits-of-an-emotional-support-animal-on-adhd-by-15-renowned-experts/

Feeling a range of emotions is a natural part of the human experience. From happiness to anger to sadness, emotions are your mind's way of responding to life's events, and on their own, they're perfectly healthy. Even anger has its place, and while many people show inappropriate anger, there are times when anger is necessary and justified. https://esacare.com/reasons-why-seniors-need-esas-as-companion/
All emotions play a role in your well-being. But when you start to feel like you need to cry for what feels like no reason, it may be a sign that you're suffering from anxiety.

I still somehow believe that you are either suffering from Depression or PTSD.
The mood swings you suffer from and the way you expressed you have been crying a lot certainly points to the early symptoms of depression. I would suggest that you read this https://mmjdoctor.com/benefits-of-medical-marijuana-according-to-top-20-experts-in-the-industry/ and go for alternative medicine. I have personally tried anxiety and depression medicines prescribed by doctors but ended up facing the worst side-effects such as hair fall, suicidal thoughts, etc.
I wish you would be better by now! 🙂

The first thing to do is ask what is causing the depression and then began the recovery to keep it stable with no meds and therapy. You will need some form of therapy which is called self-help therapy. This is where you talk to yourself to determine when or where did this depression began. Some do journal writing. Some do hobbies like painting, read puzzles, etc. The most you can do is exercise but if exercise is not for you then you will have to determine what will make your depression go away or be stable. Remember not every person's depression recovery will be the same. I do not take meds or do therapy. I do self-talk. I have good days and horrible days. I would journal write my thoughts than tear it up and put in the trash can. The least you can do is keeping yourself diverted. Hopefully, it will help you. https://mdberry.com/medical-marijuana-effectiveness-research/
