Depression

Thursday, May 16, 2013

No. Not me..haha

I just remembered that last Wednesday, April 8, I met this girl from University of Indonesia Faculty of Psychology.
I got her number from twitter. One of followers of one of my followers retwitted her twit about her need of patients with depression. She needed some female respondents, 20 - 40 years old, and gave her number there. So I met up with her.

She was very nice and charming. Maybe it's part of her job. We talked. She dug my personal information and I gladly gave her everything since she's a psychologist. And... good news, I don't have depression. But I have Narcissistic Personality Disorder and some Obsessive and Compulsive Disorders, and some other personality disorder. And I got very good new knowledge about the symptoms of depression.

Those symptoms are:
1. Feel sad and drowning, can't heal the pain even if we want to
2. Lack of self worth
3. Either can't stop eating or don't wanna eat at all
4. Either can't sleep or sleep for a very long time
5. Don't care about taking shower, washing hair, and appearance stuffs
6. Not interested in doing hobbies or interests
7. Blaming
8. Don't wanna meet people
9. Suicidal

To be called people with depression we need to have at least 5 of the symptoms, and they have to last for about 2 weeks.

I feel sad sometimes. I'm in a gloomy mood sometimes. But it's just because I'm a drama queen. I have the urge to make some dramas in my life.
Stop eating is something difficult for me, but it's just my bad eating habit.
I sleep for a very long time and sometimes can stay awake all night. But it just depends on my mood. Sometimes I feel so tired because I'm simply a lazy couch potato. Some other times I just stay awake all night because I have something to write, some ideas, some thoughts, etc.
I don't care that much about my appearance. But that's because I don't think it matters.
I don't wanna meet people only when I'm in the mood of being alone. Because sometimes I just enjoy being left alone, only talking with myself, write something, do something fun alone. It's priceless!
Suicidal? Hell no! I hate death!

And I don't have them for two weeks. They just come and go.
So, okay, that's all I wanna say in this post.

Bye!
