depression?

sometimes i do wonder if i am getting into depression. not that big time depression-depression type of depression, but rather mild depression.

you see, i have been feeling troubled about lots of things. my mum's passing, my dog's passing, family, etc... and lately, about my health as i have not been able to sleep well, have breathing difficulties, experience frequent chest tightness, etc. i also do find myself getting lethargic these days, have no interest in things around me, i do not want to go out of the house, and indulge in porn (excessively). there were also many instances where i found myself choked with tears... my mind is just too disturbed. and often a times, i think about useless unproductive thoughts such running away from people, from this country, or for that matter from life. yes, death - my own passing. everything seemed to be so meaningless currently.

i do recognise that these are signs of depression and i need to manage myself. and i am writing these thoughts out as an outlet for me to vent. need to be mindful of this phase i am in and not to allow it to consume me. 

as it comes, it will also eventually go.

  1. Hey the difference between one who is depressed and one who nearly is, is c awareness. As long as you are going through this with awareness... so wallow in the Slough of despond for a while... we all need to. And when you're ready.... we'll be here.
    Hugs.

  2. Yes, awareness, mindfulness.
    Am keeping tabs on myself and consciously telling myself to snap out of it when I sense myself going moody...
    Thanks for the reminder too.
