I think there are other threads along these lines, but I just took a few assessments online that suggested I may be depressed, which is sort of depressing to me. haha.
I've never really thought of myself as depressed--I really think I get overwhelmed with my anxiety, and, were it not for that, I'd be fine. If anything, I've thought I may have had bouts of slight depression, but nothing major. From these assessments (I realize this is not an actual diagnosis), it appears my depression may be more severe and pervasive than I realized. I guess I always assumed since I am optimistic and not suicidal, that I'm not really that depressed.
Honestly, I think I'm somewhat of a realist. I know when I am blowing things out of porportion, and I know the accurate consequences of my actions most of the time. I also see the light at the end of the tunnel. I recognize that bad situations are usually temporary, and once the discomfort passes, life moves on and isn't always terrible.
Currently, however, I feel like crap, and it's all because I'm behind in school and my house is a mess. Everything else is going fairly well. :bigsmile:
