As someone who's very open and public about having anxiety and depression, I think it's important to know the signs of depression. They can be so subtle, and difficult to notice, but they're there. For me, I noticed a lot of these after my dad passed away. Anyone can have depression, and it just takes something to trigger it. Know the signs and help yourself or someone else.
1.Over-eating
If you catch yourself eaten honor snacking just ‘because’, it's one thing to snack because you're bored, but it’s another thing to binge stress eat.
2.Over-sleeping
Sure you might be busy and stuff, but if you catch yourself over-sleeping and being unmotivated, don't overthink it.
3.Skipping classes or work
One major sign of being unmotivated.
4.Randomly crying
Ever just randomly started crying and didn't understand why? And unsure of what you're sad about?
5.Misanthropy
Basically a fancy word for thinking everyone is dumb and annoying.
6.Sitting in the shower
Had those days where you just sit in the shower and let the water hit you while you just think, and think?
7.Time going by slowly
If time feels like it's slowing down, try to be more aware of your surroundings.
8.Not eating
People forget that even eating disorders are triggered by depression. Some binge eat, some don't eat at all.
9.Not getting any sleep
Insomnia goes hand in hand with anxiety & depression.
10.Not showering
Any time you feel unmotivated or lazy, force yourself to get up and get ready for the day!
