What are the physical symptoms of depression?
Q.What are the physical symptoms of depression?
A.Constant tiredness, loss of appetite, comfort eating, difficulty concentrating, difficulty communicating, not being able to be bothered doing anything anymore, feelings of worthlessness, wanting to die, feeling like nothing will ever make you happy again...etc Also, headaches, insomnia, and second to tired, very tired, to the point that ppl cannot believe you are that tired, or understand it; some ppl eat too much for comfort, ; and then there's crying, lots of crying. a lot of the physical things i think come from not having the will anymore to do the things to be active and healthy. Not every one who is lives with depression cries, some people think that depression is over whelming emotion, but to some people depression is a lack of emotion. I don't cry. But I constantly think of death. Not suicide (although I have attempted suicide) but death. The not being anymore. I lack motivation, ambition, I have very low levels of energy. I constantly think I am a worthless, useless waste of space, an oxygen thief. I can rarely see anything positive about me or my life whatsoever. And I would love to be able to cry, I would love to cry all the pain out of my heart, I would love to be able to feel, I mean really really feel. Instead of living in a void...instead of having an empty space where real emotions should be.
