Do you think I'm depressed?
Lately I've been feeling very down and some people have suggested that I might be depressed, but Im not sure. Since around a year ago I stopped doing ballet, which I used to love doing, because I just couldn't enjoy it anymore. I also lost interest in a couple of other hobbies that I used to love. I used to be a pretty good student but now I dont have any motivation for school. Everything that I do makes me feel exhausted, so I'm always sleeping. I used to be able to concentrate for long periods of time but now can't concentrate on anything and I'm always nervous. Sometimes I get very sad and I dont really know why. Other times I get very angry and I feel like Im about to explode, but I keep it inside.
It has come to the point where I have stopped caring about everything and I dont have any motivation to do things like I used to. Do you think I'm depressed or is this something else? Also what do you think I should do about this?

Perhaps you should talk to a counselor, therapist, or a doctor. It does sound somewhat like depression, but I don't feel like I know enough to say much more about whether it really is depression.
I had anxiety issues for the past few years and I feel that I've only just started to get over it. For me, I started dealing things that gave me anxiety, such as school, relationships and family. When I began to recognize that my problem was internal rather than external, I began reading articles about what causes anxiety and how I can start to change my perspective in order to deal with it.
Now, I understand that anxiety is not depression. But perhaps an internal evaluation of why you might be depressed, how you became depressed and what makes you happy will help you. Along with seeing an expert, I think you'll get to the root of your emotional needs.
I evaluate myself a author (a minimum of, I write) and that i'm no longer depressed. yet frustration or perhaps sadness is something that comes from writing, as a results of fact, as somebody else stated formerly me, you're actually not purely feeling your man or woman united statesand downs, yet your characters besides. i'm a very emotional guy or woman, i will admit, and that i'm getting worked up over stuff that possibly I shouldn't. Does how writing is going for me result my temper? i think of so. Writing is, for individuals who're smitten by it, a style of launch of their innermost self, and whilst hastily something happens and that launch gets up on carry, it gets all bottled up. i assume it extremely is why I call author's Block a ailment. you're being slowly tormented to dying by technique of the techniques which you will no longer write. Haha, so yeah. Are all writers emotional people? i think of so. Are all of them depressed? i bypass to could disagree with that one, inspite of the reality that they easily all would be depressed at distinctive circumstances.
Just on hearsay, it is difficult to guess or predict.
One has to consult a professionally qualified doctor who can only diagnose such illness after seeing the patients present health conditions both physical and mental.
You're either depressed, or bi-polar
i have several friends who are bipolar, and your symptoms sound exactly like them.
But depression sounds very logical as well.
I suggest you get yourself diagnosed by your family physician just to be on the safe side.
