Asking what the symptoms of depresson are.
Feeling dead inside.
No interest in anything much,or no interest at all.
Thinking of suicide.
Feeling like you have a dark cloud following you where ever you go.

Persistent sadness, not enjoying the same things you used to, tired all the time, increased/decreased appetite, increased anger, anxiety, lonliness......and much much more. If you think you're depressed you should seek counseling.

Things are not as much fun. You have a hard time getting motivated. It's hard to get up & get going in the mornings. You don't reach out to people.

Eating a lot, getting frustrated, thoughts of suicide... Doing things to make yourself happy even if they aren't needed... There's a lot.
