Depression

Depression. I hate the feeling. It comes out of nowhere and hits full force when least expected. When I should actually be happy, I find myself feeling the exact opposite. From wikipedia, clinical depression exhibits the following symptoms and signs:

1. Persistent sad, anxious, or empty mood
2. Loss of appetite
3. Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
4. Restlessness or irritability
5. Feelings of worthlessness, inappropriate guilt, helplessness
6. Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
7. Difficulty thinking, concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
8. Thoughts of death or suicide or attempts at suicide
9. Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed
   
10. Decreased energy
11. Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as digestive disorders

Aside from feeling suicidal, I would have to say that I've been experiencing everything else. I guess that the only question is the duration and how badly it affects my general lifestyle. If things get too bad, I should really get some medical help. I should just take things easy, but I can't. This place is quite literally killing me. I really need to get out of this rut as soon as possible and return to my old happy self.

EDIT@1500: Decided to sleep it off. Got up at 9am and lay in bed, doing nothing, until almost noon. Taking it easy. d:

UPDATE+1: I'm fine already. Sleeping in did me a world of good. This is still the top post because there's nothing else to blog about at the moment. Hopefully, I'll have other things to write about soon.
