Am I depressed?

Question:

First off I really hope none of my friends find this topic that would suck. Anyway, last night I cried myself to sleep and I don't know why I was crying I just felt liike I needed to get it out of mysystem so I just thought of a lot of sad stuff like what if I or someone I love or care about died.

BTW this has nothing to do with the Dane Cook skit on HBO.

Answers:
Everyone gets like that from time to time sweetie. As a matter of fact I went through something similar tonight- I wanted to cry for no apparent reason. But just incase you are worried here are the signs and symptoms of clinical depression:

Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
Changes in sleep patterns
Reduced appetite and weight loss, or increased appetite and weight gain
Loss of pleasure and interest in once-enjoyable activities, including sex
Restlessness, irritability
Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as chronic pain or digestive disorders
Difficulty concentrating at work or at school, or difficulty remembering things or making decisions
Fatigue or loss of energy
Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless
Thoughts of suicide or death

If you experience five or more of these symptoms for two weeks or longer, you could have clinical depression. See a doctor or qualified mental health professional for help, right away.
