I think I may be depressed. - March 20th 2010, 09:45 PM

Not that emo I-hate-everything type of depressed, but actual clinical depression. I just don't seem to care about anything anymore. I'm not doing my school work, I'm being lazy on the job, I don't care whether or not I see my boyfriend. I can't even motivate myself to cook a decent meal. I don't even go to sleep, despite how tired I am, because getting into my bed seems pointless. It's not like I'm never in a good mood, but more and more I find myself apathetic.

There is a history of depression in my family, and I was diagnosed with depression about four years back. I went to therapy a few times, but the psychologist just kept blaming my depression on my sexuality and religious beliefs, which were not the causes. So I'd rather not get into therapy again, and I am 100% against taking drugs. I was just wondering if there was any other way out of this. I wouldn't consider myself "at risk" or anything, so I suppose I could just ride it out like I did last time, but I would prefer not to. Any advice?


and if you should hear the cries and calls
through the thinnest of the walls
don't you get yourself so blue
it's just the sound of me getting over you
