Am I depressed or stressed?
I so hear you.I observed my behaviour and I've come to some conclusions -- but Idk how to get past this state of mind you described. I don't think you should call this thing it in a certain way, like depression (though it is possible to be so), just see how you can get past this.You know, when my world is "perfect", I'm feeling well. But then, there is some external event that just ruins everything inside of me. I lose my balance. I get stressed. Anxious. Thoughts start running wild, and there are so many of them, that I can't distinguish one from the other. It's terrible, I get strong headaches and get really tired and dizzy. Happens every single day, sometimes for an hour, sometimes almost non stop.And you know what the weirdest thing is? What I have just described there can happen from small things. Even from nothing at all! It's just because of thoughts, because of the fact that you can't control them. Or can't keep yourself from getting too involved in them. You get stuck in the first thought, and that generates more thoughts, more tension and panic.The pattern was difficult to notice at first, and I recommend that you notice it too, before you can even do anything about it. See what triggers it. For me, it can be anything from a friend that doesn't dedicate their whole attention to me (selfish, but that's me :P), to a deadline or eating too much.It can be anything. And in these moments, I panic. Because I am not going to be the most important to someone (who fuels my ego by being... mine), people are not going too see how good I am at what I do - and that means I am worthless, or I am going to be fat so noone's gonna like me. I AM NOT GOING TO BE PERFECT. I AM NOT PERFECT.What a horrible thing to admit. What a difficult thing to accept. What a burdain to let this be seen by the world.Hard to live by these limits, I tell you. But I guess you already know it.I think that when we learn to accept ourselves - and I admit, I have no idea how to do that - life will be so much easier.I keep searching and the fact that I don't know how to get out of this situation makes me downright desperate. Gives me headaches. Literally. Someday I am going to find the key. But -- hard to say when.
Can depression make you feel stressed?
Nervous system is comprised by central nervous system and autonomic nervous system.Your autonomic nervous system is broke up to 2 branches which is the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system.Your parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the functions of rest and digest in your body, so when you are relaxed and calm this branch is activated.Your sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the flight or fight functions which is activated either when you feel threatened, in danger, when you exercise, etc.Well when you are depressed obviously you think negative, you overthink a lot and you feel negative. If you think always negative and about the future, what might happen next, how can i handle that, etc… then of course you’ll activate your sympathetic nervous system because you’ll send signals just by thinking that you are in danger and this will activate it and making you feeling stressed.
Why do I feel sleepy when I am depressed or stressed?
2016 Dec: Sleeping for 14 hours was a perpetual thing for me. I used to sleep everytime and did nothing else.Reason(s):Distructive family environment: I have deleted all my answer in relation to it because too much of sympathy was coming along. This is to tell people that I am more than happy to move on.But yes, my family was a reason for my depression.My Best Friend: She left me because she could not bother to ask everyday, how I was breaking bad. She did not have the time to see someone go through so many problems. Today is her birthday and I have never felt so bad, not wishing her at 12 sharp.My studies: I never loved economics that much and that 3 year course drained me and my effectiveness.My skin and health: Severe acne, the doctor said. So severe that it would take 3 months of countless medicines to get them going. My weight increased and then eventually decreased, both with intense fluctuations.Coming back to the question, sleeping was my escape, I used to love it due to the fact that it got me peace and helped me avoid the devils outside.But the essence of this answer lies in the recovery.I sleep for 5 hours now and work really really hard. I am proud of the person I see in the mirror because she is doing some great things.I have a crazy bunch of friends who check on me. We do not party everyday but a 15 mins call everyday and we are sorted.I now study what I love. I read a lot and have started writing a little.My skin has never been so better. It has a year after the treatment and I am doing well. My health is super amazing and my diet is really clean. Plus I dress up everyday, like seriously. I love it.What can you take away from my life?Let it go love, let it be. You deserve more than depression, more than those panic attacks. Get up as your time has arrived. Slay in life not sleep and make it large!!
Why am I always stressed and depressed?
You are not a tree.Every one has their own internal troubles. You first have to accept your self for others to accept. Here is a small story of two pots a farmer had:The farmer used the two pots to get water from the near by riverOne of the pot was a little broken, hence leakyIt used to feel bad that it was not able to do its duty completely. One day finally it decided the put an end all the misery ask the farmer to break it. Farmer got surprised and asked “Why ?”. To which the pot answered “I’m not fulfilling my duty towards you completely. I’m so shamed of my self. I’m totally useless and worthless ”. For which the farmer answered, “Who said you are useless ? Let me show you something”. And farmer took the pot along the path he travelled daily to get water. He pointed on to one side of the path which was full of flowers and green than the other side. The pot was shocked to see the difference. It had never noticed this earlier as it was always sad and depressed and thinking about being a leaky pot. Then the farmer explained, that flowers on one side of the path is due to the water leaking from the it. When the farmer had noticed that the pot was leaky, he had thrown some seeds along side of the path, to blossom.Noticing the beauty it had added to the path, the pot was so happy. It felt a satisfaction in its existence, and was happy forever.Now, we all will be depressed once or the other time like the leaky pot. All we need to do is to find a farmer (mentor) or become your own farmer. Go out, start exploring, starting reading, start travelling and trying new things. You never know what you’ll be good at, like the pot never knew what it was good at.Read books across various genres, go to Goodreads and check out.See top movies of various genres listed in IMDb - Movies, TV and CelebritiesGo treaking with clubs like bmcindia.orgWhat documentaries from sites like http://documentryheaven.comLearn dance or some fitness routine or do yoga.Stay positive.

Why do I feel useless, anxious, lonely, depressed and stressed all the time?
It’s called depression and low self-esteem. It’s a clinical illness. It’s not that you are useless, it’s that your mind tricks you into believing you are. You should seek help to help you overcome this, whether it be with a psychiatrist or counselor. Sometimes, it’s from the childhood environment that you grew up in. If you were conditioned to think you’re useless, you’ll feel that you are useless no matter what happens. The simplest thing I usually do is make a list. If I’m too busy, I just make my bed. Even if it means nothing to make your bed, it will help you to see that you did accomplish a task, that is to make the bed. Something so simple can go a long ways. Practice gratitude and positive affirmations of yourself. Tell yourself that you are a good person. You are not useless. You were born in this world for a purpose. I hope you find the answer that you’re seeking for. Remember, you’re reaching out to Quora for answers, which means you did accomplish the most difficult task of all, to ask for help. Awesome job!

Can I get a doctors note for being depressed/stressed?
Hi there! I've been having a really bad time lately with life. I can't explain it all here because it would take a long time but long story short I am so stressed and depressed. I have actually started to lose hair I'm so stressed out. Anyways, I missed 3 days of work at my job so far and I want to call in again tomorrow. This is the worst time in my life. I feel so hopeless and unmotivated. If I call in sick to work again I need to bring in a doctors note. Will a doctor write me a note for 4 days if my reason is that I've been stressed and depressed?
