Blue

I think I'm depressed...what do I do!?! I havn't been depressed for like two years. I was happy as a clam about whatever I was doing and no matter what everything was ok. Just an even, good tempered, and solid mood. A few weeks ago it started going downhill. I just don't feel right anymore! I feel really bad and I keep hoping that the next day I will wake up and everything will be happy again, but it's just not happening. Now with this back pain I am getting even worse. I can't even exercise anymore which was something that was making me feel good every day, so I'm just miserable. I should be excited that I am going on vacation the day after tomorrow, but instead I just don't even care.

When I first started feeling bad a few weeks ago, I thought it was because I was lonely and I felt like I had no friends. Since then nothing has changed, but I'm afraid that I just feel bad for no reason and I'm just trying to find a reason, because at least then it would make sense. Nothing has changed situationally since I was happy so it must be my brain chemicals. Should I go on antidepressants? Or should I just try to wait it out?

Also my back is really starting to concern me. It is a constant pain in my spine and I'm taking a ton of ibuprofen which is lowering my blood pressure and making me drowsy. I just don't know what to do about anything!!!! I guess I should go to the doctor but I know that she'll just tell me to like take it easy and take ibuprofen. She might prescribe me 800mg ibuprofen at the most. I just want a solution! I'm too young to have this problem.

  1. Omg, now I feel responsible for your depression. Why did I bring up that friends thing?!

    Emotion is a funny thing. Sometimes it's hard to know the cause, with all the subconscious stuff going on. Maybe something is causing you some stress (your vacation, for example), and that sets of the brain chemicals that lead to depression. Or maybe the pain. Or maybe my big mouth. Then maybe something else will happen to reset the circuits again.

  2. Ha you are not responsible. Anyhow I'm feeling better now I think. Maybe it was just stress.
