depression?

Question:

i used to be depressed my for as long as i can remember, until i met my bf, but i used to do things like talk to myself like i was two people having a conversation about anything, but i wouldn't realize i was doing it til about 10 min after i started, someone told me that that is a sign of severe depression, is it?

Answers:
I would not think it would be a sign of depression.there could be many reasons that attribute to your behavior. As long as it is not happening anymore, do not worry. Should you feel it beginning again, I would consult a Dr. It may be harmless behavior or it may be damaging. Hope the BF can keep you happy.best wishes.

Not necessarily a sign of depression, but you might want to have a check over just to make sure everything is running smoothly.

I used to have the same problem. Ask your doctor about it. Just a regular physician should be able to help. I've been depression free for about a year now and all I did was ask my doctor about it and he put me on the right track without using any medications for an extent period of time. I don't know how severe you would call it but it is depression from lonelyness. I used to be the same way.

I wouldnt think it would be a severe case of depression, but it is one of the symptoms of it. My advice is to go to your doctor and discuss this with him/her. What will happen when/if you and your b/f part ways. Not being negative but it is a part of life. There is no way of knowing if you had symptoms of psychosis, that is something you were describing. I would still go for a check up.

I do that too, and if you have depression, I have depression. However, I don't believe that depression is a medical problem, I think it's a problem of lacking something that gives you energy, ambition, and happyness. When I have a girlfriend, my depression turns to severe manic swings that I keep to myself. That's when I start to talk to myself, I think you might be manic, and possibly need some balance, however I'm not a doctor nor will I ever be, as my IQ just barely passes the bar for the medical profession and I have no ambition. So don't take my word for it, but I still hope it was helpful.

Depression consists of the following:
Physical Symptoms/ disturbances: 1. APPETITE/ 2. SLEEP / 3. MENTAL AGITATION/ 4. ENERGY LEVEL
Psychological Symptoms: 1. LOST OF INTEREST/ 2. FEELING OF HOPELESSNESS & HELPLESSNESS/ 3.HALLUCINATIONS / 4. SUICIDAL IDEAS

What you have may not be depression but could be something more sinister like SCHIZOPHRENIA which includes hallucinations/ lost of touch with reality/ etc.
You need serious assessment by a doc, man.

I think everyone talks to themselves at one time or another but the only time to worry is when you start getting answers back.. then head for the shrink. No- it's kinda weird tho. But i catch myself doing that too.
Don't rely on your boyfriend to make you happy, it can only hurt you in the end.
