Not just upset but a sense of complete hopelessness, all the time. People suffering from depression may lose interest in things they usually enjoy.
Feeling down in your mood and sad. Not wanting to be social and withdrawn for the fact you feel bad inside. You want someone to talk to but you feel they won't make the problem go away and they do not have a answer and cant make the problem change. Grief or a loss is a factor. Being fired from a job. Some great personal rejection like the loss of a love or cheating love or divorce yours or someone elses. You get all caught up in a black cloud and you just down and don't care about nothing not even yourself. You kind of drag and do not care how you look or what others think. That is what depression was like for me.
Then you need a window broken for hope and a job or some way to feel needed an included. Even at that the sad feeling kind of lingers. YOU cry alot. If it gets too bad where you want to do yourself harm See a Doctor and Talk Talk Talk until you and the one you want help from see a way out. In the talking some one is listening for the problem and you clear yourself and find out what is keeping you down. GET HELP
Many people refer to themselves as 'feeling depressed' when they are just feeling a bit down.
'Depression' (sometimes referred to as 'clinical depression') Is generally considered to be where someone has:
a depressed mood
problems sleeping or sleeps too much
eating patterns have altered
loss of energy
feelings of worthlessness and / or guilt
poor concentration
movements have slowed down / speeded up
thoughts of death / suicide.
If you have five or more of the above symptoms, (which have to include 'a depressed mood') you are considered to be depressed. However, it can be dangerous to self-diagnose, only a doctor is qualified to make a diagnosis of depression.
Press means to push, depress means to push down, depression is when you have 'pushed down' a feeling or emotion or experience, preferring not to look at it. Enlightenment is the opposite, it may mean being aware and reflecting on the situation/emotion knowing it's source within your being and 'lightening' yourself of the burden.
It means "low", i.e. feeling "down" or unhappy.
a feeling of hopelessness and sadness all of the time...
