It's a weird one for me. Mostly I have anxiety and OCD but because I breakdown a lot (like every week xD ) that I started seeing myself having depression because I just got tired of it all.
The symptoms will vary probably to different person but for me it's usually have no more sense of achieving anything in life, can't see what would happen past 5 years ( Like if you ask someone where do you see yourself in 5 years? most will say will have a successful career) and the inability to socialize with other people too.
The thing is about depression is that it's not really straightforward, you can have other mental issues apart from it which makes it more complicated. A combination of issues from having depression, anxiety, social anxiety, insecurities, lack of self esteem are the more common ones.
It's a good habit to don't overthink too much ( Yeah coming from a guy with OCD ), leave it what it's supposed to be and just don't bother with it too much.
I've actually been diagnosed with severe depression last year by a psychiatrist !
For the story, I'm actually a teenager, so professionals in my country do not always agree if they should diagnose me or not...
So after asking many times to different professionals, last year at a special establishment pre entry interview (a sort of school with treatment) a psychiatrist said to me that I was in severe depression ! I personally wished they did it before because it would have spared a lot of imposter syndrome and illegitimate feelings... I've been depressed for a few years now I guess (still feels a lie when I talk about it...).
For the symptoms, I'm lacking motivation, envy, I had (TRIGGER WARNING) >!suicidal thoughts, and made suicide attempts, self harm!< , and other stuff i guess.
Im depression bc i constantly thinking about kms and bc i dont feel any joy to the things i used to love. Some symptoms may very, in my case some symptom are there one day and they disappear and then come back again.
The last time i really felt sh*tty about not doing the things that i want/have to was in 2020 during the lockdown in France.
I always had suic!dal ideas since maybe 2019. My mood can very depending on the trigger. Sometimes im in denial and depression makes me think that maybe i just make all this thing up to have some advantages (like not going on an exam for example) or to use it as an excuse to why im a failure. Sometimes i feel my body so heavy its so difficult to get up from my bed. Sometimes i dont want to talk to anyone. And often i hate myself and im mad that im depression bc I could do a lot of things but i spent a lot my time on my phone, scrolling and stuff so i feel guilty. And sometimes i think like im not grateful enough bc some people have worse than me.
So it depends, most of the time i feel normal, theres time when im so happy i feel like im not sick anymore and i stop taking my meds which, you guessed it, you shouldnt do it at all. And then when i stop taking them like 1 or 2 days after i feel very very depressed.
Self harm, no interested doing anything, taking bath also feel so hard to do
