As I was reading this, i was thinking depression, but since you are already diagnosed, then maybe you need a stronger dose of your meds, or a new kind. Lexapro is a good one. Oh, and any thought of suicide is serious, go see a psychologist, ASAP. It also sounds like you have swings of mania and depression which could signal bi-polar...go see your psychiatrist AND psychologist.

I complained to my Dr. about the same symptoms, the short term memory bothered me a lot. She sent me for a sleep test. I thought I slept 8 hours, but actually slept 113 minutes. In that 113 minutes I quit breathing 178 times. Diagnosis was sleep apnea. Do you wake up with a snort or snore a lot? Wake up with a sore throat? Both good indicators of sleep apnea. I also suffer from depression an diabetes. I also feel like I can't quit talking and had a very shot temper. You described a person a whole lot like me. Good luck.

You're probably looking for expert advice and I doubt you'll find it here. You know you are depressed,also sounds like a self -image problem and anxiety. If this is a serious question you must get professional help. It might also help to know that most of the people who answer this question are truly concerned for your welfare and that people actually care for you. God Bless!

My guess is either a blood sugar problem is involved or maybe too much msg or artificial sweetners. I had this same stuff--a better diet and control of what ingredients were in my food---I lost weight, got a better disposition, cleared my mind and it was all done naturally. Sugar, white flour, msg, junk food, lack of vitamin B, all added to my problems--but in a couple of months I was able to purge my systems of all the poisons and I am better.

It sounds like you may be clinically depressed. Consult your doctor,their are tests that can determine if you have a physical reason to be this way. I had a chemical inbalance in my brain that is now being controlled with medication. Good Luck. i hope you get the help you need.

Very possibly a social anxiety disorder and/or combination with something else. It's difficult, but talking to a doctor can make all the difference... medication may be the solution.
It's hard to do, but it would definitely pay off for you I'm sure.

You have a disorder, and should see a psychiatrist who can make a diagnosis and give you some help. Don't fear it. Make the appointment and do it whether you have health care coverage or not. They have a way to treat you.

ADHD? Bipolar? Depression?
See your doctor.

me too, pass the joint please
In all honesty it sounds like depression. A work out schedule or a psychologist could help.
DON'T go to anti-depressants! They usually make it worse.
