am i suffering from depression?

Question

My live-in boyfriend ruined our relationship when i dicovered that he had two kids, and lied about them- several times. For some reason i suspected that he had kids- but he would always make a joke of it, and say i didnt know what i was talking about. Well i stopped sleeping. I would go to bed around 4 and wake up at 8 and be fine all day. I didnt eat that much. I havent cooked ANYTHING in weeks, and i dont care either. He was eating cereal on paper plates becuase i stopped caring about the home that we shared. I thought i was pregnant, and he told me that if i were- he would have nothing to do wiht me or my child- then everythign got worse. I didnt get any sleep after that. My period was 3 weeks late, for no reason at all. I ate less, and slept less. Do you think im am depressed or stressed? i never really had to deal with stress before he moved in, and he moved out now, so i guess i will be ok- what do you think?

Answer 1

Its probably a combination of both. Give it a few weeks, get on with your life and if you are not feeling any better by then seek medical advice

Answer 2

It does sounds alot like depression.Most people think with depression it means you sleep alot and cry all the time.Which isnt true.Ive had long serious bouts with depression since i was 12.Its varies alot from person to person.I have went thru times where i wasnt sleeping at all,or eating.When i couldnt get out of bed for months and just felt hopeless.There have also been times ive been able to function day to day.And carry on normal around other people.
What you need to do is go to your family doctor and tell him/her about how you are feeling.He/She should be able to recommend you to a good doctor with the skills to treat depression.You need talk therpy and to try a antidepressant medication.There was many out there that help.

Answer 3

Some guys are just, well to put it plainly close-sighted? Not sure that's the greatest word to use but, you should deffinatly go talk to someone about it.
A lot of times, when we get depressed our body shows it, even if we dont notice it, and other people notice it. And from what your saying you have a few signs of depression.
Try and go back to your regular schedule, and do things to make yourself happy - go out and do things with your friends, (I dont mean that as in go get drunk and wasted, just have fun, go see a movie or go out to eat together).
Try talking to a counselor, doctor, or someone really close to you;
Things should settle down in time.

Take care of yourself, and good luck.

Answer 4

Any time we base OUR life around someone Else's, we are setting ourselves up for failure. You said he lied more than once to you about his children and that's a red flag for anyone!!!!!!!!! He's got the compassion and humanity of a cobra. You're much better off without him.
I have no clue as to weather or not your depressed. You might be angry, disappointed, lonely and disillusioned. Not everything is depression.
Life is awesome........start to love yourself first then work on.....I'm worth it, and set your goals higher.
Good luck!
Gos bless you.

Answer 5

I'm very sorry about the things that happened to you. It does kinda sound like you're depressed. If it's really bad you should see a doctor and talking to someone (like a friend) will help you get through this.

Answer 6

I would suggest seeing adoctor (possibly a Naturopath).
