Symptoms That May Indicate You're Suffering From Depression

Everyone on the planet feels worried or sad from time to time, it's perfectly normal and natural.  If we weren't to feel these feelings we wouldn't be human, and for the most part these feelings are unavoidable.  It could be worry for your children, bills you may have to pay, your workplace or maybe your health.  Whatever it may be, anxiety and depression is part of everyday life on this planet.

The problem is, that sometimes peoples life for you can become saturated with worry, going through your head 24 hours of the day and 7 days a week.  When this happens you must understand that this is not normal and can affect the way you feel, act or behave towards your self and others.

So do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Lets find out.

Below are some questions that you should ask yourself to give you a clearer indication if you maybe suffering from anxiety or depression.  I've been crying for no clear reason.  I pace around when I'm worried.  Sometimes I can't make myself get out of bed.  I avoid going into crowded areas.  I can't seem to make myself exercise.  I avoid risks because I'm afraid of failure.  I don't do things for fun lately.  I always play things on the safe side.  I've been missing work lately because I just don't have the motivation.  I'm really fidgety.  I've been doing everything at a much slower pace for no good reason.  I avoid people or places that remind me of a bad past experience.  I don't care what I look like anymore.  I spend too much time making sure I look okay.  I don't laugh anymore.  My hands shake when I'm nervous.  I've been letting things go that I need to attend to.  I feel compelled to repeat actions (such as hand washing, checking locks, arranging things in a certain way, and so on).If most of the above statements ring true for yourself then don't feel lost and alone.  Anxiety and depression comes into peoples life's 1 way or another, it can only be a problem if you let it get out of hand.  I suggest consulting your local doctor for advice on what you can do to overcome your anxiety and depression.

You should never let neither problems take control of your life. as this would be unhealthy primarily for you as well as others around you.  You can find more information on anxiety and depression in books and on the internet, in fact there are many dedicated forums for people to share their issues with one another.  Whatever you decide to do always take action, never sit idle waiting for things to change, in most cases it never does.
