17:05

Tremendously upset over decoupling from a long time mate?The freebies from the officedon’t leave you ecstatic anymore? You feel overworked and underpaid? Having a hunch that you might be demoted at work, if not fired? You might be suffering from depression if any of the following holds true.

1. Insomnia or Hypersomnia

Scientific Definition: Insomnia is trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night. So your sleep is gone for reasons other than love? Or you hibernate instead of sleeping? This is a symptom of depression if you cant sleep because worrying wakes you up all night, or you sleep too much to avoid waking up to the truth that you are worrying too much.
2. Concentration issues
You are at a meeting since half an hour and all you could pay attention to is the color of the conference table. Depression leads to concentration problems. You are unable to aim, focus or respond aptly, since you heard none of it. This leads to high degree of embarrassments, when asked for an impromptu suggestion, which again, adds to the depression.
3. Reckless Behavior
You forget to prepare the report that you were asked to, and you have no idea how? Havingmemory issues lately? Unshaven for days? These are signs of Depression, which leads to carelessness at its best. You mix things; you slip things, and end up exaggerating the misery.
4. Self loathing
You might not have been a narcissist, but now you start hating yourself. The mirror reminds you of plethora of things you lack in. You start disliking the way you talk, walk, eat, sit,look, and the list is endless. Even the guy who wears leather pants to the office and has a phoney accent seems perfect to you. You wonder why God made you the way you are, which indeed, my friend, is perfect.
5. Disliking the daily chores
Even watching television seems like a work? You derive no fun in taking your dog out for a walk? Another symptom of depression is when you don’t find the daily chores interesting any more and wonder why you have to do them again. And again. And again, everyday.
6. Aches and Pains
Your mental trauma is of such powerful degree that it affects your physical health also. You suddenly start having pains all over your body and despite the expensive tests, there is no sign of any problem, and this upsets you even more.
7. Helplessness and hopelessness
You feel that nobody is ever going to help you in whatever you are going through, and you have ‘no hope’ that anybody is ever going to help you in whatever you are going through. This, my friend, is a sign of depression when you think that humanity no longer exists and even if it does, it doesn’t exist for you.
