can you be depressed and not know it?
Posted on Monday in so you think you can dance | by Peter
or not feel it? maybe i don’t know if i’m depressed or not, is that possible? sometimes i feel the signs of depression but i don’t know if i’m depressed because i can laugh and smile with people but i get down on myself a lot and have this ‘what’s the point?’ mentality a lot. i don’t totally feel like not doing anything….but i think i have low self esteem and no motivation to do anything to better myself but i listen to music and dance around in a good mood….so i’m confused…i feel depressed and then i don’t.
background:
did bad in high school, down that i’m just going to a community college [not what i planned] i haven’t started school yet and i don’t feel like going through w/ it….
i’m gay and i’m always seeing negative comments about it online [i'm on the comp a lot]
i have no friends-friends…so i feel alone and stuck at home day after day
i have no family [i do, but they're never around and we're not close so i feel alone more]
i’m 19
life is boring…i have a job and that’s all i do with my life
sure you can be, you could have been depressed your entire life and not even know it, because what you feel is normal. Feeling happy is foreign to you.
lots of people dont have a life outside of work. They get up, go to work and come home, just to do the same thing all over again. There are places you can find that will accept you for who you are. Just keep trying.

You can definitely be depressed and not know it. You are at a fork in your life and going to college (it doesn’t matter what kind). So you did bad in HS …you can start out at CC work hard and transfer!
Find and activity that makes you happy, a hobby that you can share with others, something that will get you in touch with ppl who share interests with you. I went to college in a different country, no friends, no fam…the first few months were terrible, but I joined a few clubs…those led me to new things, new people, and memories that make me smile!
Hope this helps!

You should check out your local GLBT group. If you don’t have one, you should be able to find one in a nearby town. If not there is always people to meet on myspace or facebook. Who cares what people think about your being gay. It’s 2010! There are lots of Gay sights to visit to meet people. Go out there and have some fun for on ce.
