The saddest words I've ever heard.

"How much longer before you run away?"

He knows that I'm not happy in this city. So far from friends and family.  A fast paced life I've already walked away from years ago.  A girl I hated then, a girl I loath to become again.  The idea of becoming that girl is depression.

Depressive symptoms:

Behaviour

  • not going out anymore
  • not getting things done at work/school
  • withdrawing from close family and friends
  • relying on alcohol and sedatives
  • not doing usual enjoyable activities
  • unable to concentrate

Feelings

  • overwhelmed
  • guilty
  • irritable
  • frustrated
  • lacking in confidence
  • unhappy
  • indecisive
  • disappointed
  • miserable
  • sad

I hate this field.  I've always hated this field. Is it because this field reminds me of the girl I hate?  Or is it simply because its depressing.   I hate that I've withdrawn from him, because I do love him.  I just hate this city and the life it offers.

Thoughts

  • 'I’m a failure.'
  • 'It’s my fault.'
  • 'Nothing good ever happens to me.'
  • 'I’m worthless.'
  • 'Life’s not worth living.'
  • 'People would be better off without me.'

Physical

  • tired all the time
  • sick and run down
  • headaches and muscle pains
  • churning gut
  • sleep problems
  • loss or change of appetite
  • significant weight loss or gain
