Hey, um...what are some symptoms of depression?

Is this for Trivial Pursuit or somethign? No cheating.

No, this is out of pure curiosity because I think I may have it...

Do you not want to do anything ever?

Do you think everything you do is eventually going to fail or be pointless?

Are brief moments of induced exhilaration your only escape from a constant lull?

If you feel like this for more than a month then yes.

The psychologists say there are other scattered symptoms but this is what matters.

yeah....it's been going on for several weeks.....and i hate myself

Yes you are depressed.

Stay busy. Force yourself to do things all the time, look for new things to do. You will not want to, you will not feel like it. Depression doesn't go away on its own. You have to kick it in the teeth and give it the finger, yeah?

Depression is completely justified when conscious.

okay, thanks guys :)

 and I've been cutting...

Keep on doing it, everyone likes a cutter! As long as it's a girl...

 How dare you say such a thing!  You must not understand why people cut....

I think its meant to be funny.

I know....but it offended me....this is not a joking matter....

Wow! This is krazy!

yes...yes it is....

Well then, why do people cut themselves?

there's alot of reasons....anger...just wanting to feel something to know that you're still alive...

For attention, usually.

Another thing I forgot to mention: stop letting other people feel sorry for you, and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Oh. At least you don't cut other people when you're angry. As far as being alive, I can take it or leave it. Not that big a deal for me personally. Being alive is sooooo overrated.

but do you understand what I'm saying?
