guys i feel like i'm going crazy. Ya would have thought your eyes would dry up after crying so much..I mean i'm sitting here in tears, all i do is lay in bed all day and yeah you've guessed it crying.
i've worked out why i'm so depressed..i think it cause of rejection and not on just one ocassion from the same person.Can that make you depressed. This has been going on now for over a month. thanks :(

I just found this and it has me to a tee.
What is Atypical Depression?
Sufferers of depression with atypical features will respond to negative or positive external events. They'll feel deeply depressed or somewhat hopeful depending on the latest situation they are faced with. Their mood will brighten considerably when dining out with friends or enjoying a good movie. But when they are alone, their mood will slip back into the dark depths of depression.

This type of depression usually follows an interpersonal rejection by a lover, boss, or close friend. People with atypical depression tend to overeat and oversleep, whereas people with melancholia often are characterized by weight loss and insomnia.(i'm defo not overeating my appetite is gone terrible)

People with atypical depression feel paralyzed or too tired to get out of bed. Chocolate is particularly important as a comfort food.(i'm sitting here with a massive bar of chocolate as we speak)

AWW....I'm sorry your so depressed. I dont' know what Atypical depression is. I was diagnosed with major depression. its been over a year of counseling, psychatrist, medication....its been HE....!!:mad: :blob_fire

I know exactly how you feel. i've cried and cried rivers till i could cry no more before i got on the right anti-depressant. part of it is from chemical imbalances in the brain and alot of it was from a petloss that sent me into a major depression. i had all these emotions coming at me i could not control no matter what i did. no matter how much i talked about how i felt. the emotional rollercoaster was horrible. its better now with my med. i'm taking generic prozac. has helped alot. i dont' cry in the shower anymore if at all. or set in the bathroom in the dark on the floor with the door shut and cry and cry. those days are far and few but i still have my moments.

i encourage you to get help if you think your crying and depression is lasting to long. i waited to long to get help. thinking i can handle this. i'm strong. i was wrong. i was to the point of self harm i just coudlnt' stand it anymore. depression is not something you can handle alone. no matter how hard ya try.

well, i'm probably not making any sence at all. just wanted to write that your not alone with this disease that is never ending feeling like a failure, looser, worthless. crying alot. oh, ya.....sometimes its all i can do to face another day.

hey..no you made perfect sense..
Yes i do think that this has gone on way to long.its been over a month now but the thing thats causing it is still happening and i just think that it wn't stop until its sorted. i've tried numerous times sorting the problem but this leads to further fights.
This isn't anything like ive ever felt before. Sure i've felt down everybody does but it lasts lke a day or two at the most but this is like the last month and ive had only 2 days where i've been myself again..
My eyes are killing me from crying, just can't seem to stop.

i wish i could stop crying too.
i just feel so emotional. every lil thing sets me off. seeing someone on the street who looks sad makes me feel sad for them and ill start crying.
this has been going on for about 7 months. i keep waiting for it to pass...
i will have some really good days. but then at night when i come home i just feel sad and dont know why.

Hi Emma, so you were rejected, does this make you feel like you are a worthless, unlovable ......? Emma, you are not worthless or unlovable! Rejection is part of life, it does not mean that we are worthless. If no one ever got rejected who would be happy? We would have a bunch of people who are together and married, etc., and they wouldn't even be right for each other. "Rejection" is just people trying to find other people who are right for them, it is nothing more. Why else do you feel worthless?
