well, after a few more weeks of feeling fine, I am depressed again.


I keep getting short depressions (lasting a day or two) every once in a while. From what I remember of psychology classes, it's not considered a depression if it lasts less than 2 weeks.

anyways, here I am again in the middle of another 48-hour depression. I have an essay due tomorow... and there's only about 10 minutes of work left to do on it. I can't bring myself to doing that even. School is going well but I keep feeling like I should be doing better. Being so lonely doesn't help either.
Worst thing is, I could see it coming. I could see my thoughts bringing me in a downward spiral but I didn't stop it. I'm not sure if it's because I couldn't or I wouldn't.

I'm sure I'll be feeling better by tomorow. Don't worry about me. I just needed to get this off my chest.

Marie, I am there with you! Try to keep your head up. Things will get better. Have you gone to a doctor regarding this?

Do you have student health services. You cannot self diagnose from psychology classes and please don't do that. If you go to the student health services, they may be able to help you out there. Don't leave it til it is too late! I am thinking of you

No, I haven't seen a doctor yet. I keep putting it off.
I usually cope well with my problems, but once in a while it just gets too much.

anyway, feeling a little better already. I'm off to bed now, I'll watch a movie (something with Edward Norton should make me feel better
) and by tomorow morning, it'll all be better (and I can finish my essay before going to class)

I will get some help though. My depression might not last long but I hate the way I feel about myself during that time.
