Dear all, I’m not writing this post just because “Mental Health” is nowadays making a buzz after the demise of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, but because being a sufferer of depression I can let you know some actual warning signs of this cruel disease. A disease that has no visible symptoms, a disease that people feel shy to share about, a disease that makes even a strong person weak.
For our generation, the competition is really high to achieve anything in life and therefore in the race to grow fast we forget our-self and keep ignoring what we really want. And steadily, it leads you to go into stress and you don’t even realize that it’s happening. No matter if you are a teen or an adult, you can be a victim of this mental illness. Here I’m sharing 10 hidden symptoms of depression. Get to know if you relate with some of them.
1. You get easily irritated
Even a small thing can annoy you and you get upset for the whole day without telling anyone. It's called a mood disorder which makes you hate everything. Believe it or not, you find even a good morning text irritating, you sense your praises suspiciously, you get easily hurt, and you feel worthless.
2. Chronic fatigue
You feel constantly tired; mentally as well as physically. No matter if you don't do anything and keep resting for the whole day, you still feel exhausted. Getting out of your comfort zone looks like a tough job.
3. You’re having anxiety attacks
Everyone feels anxious about something but if your anxiety suddenly reaches an intense level where it's out of control and if this situation remains for a long time, know that you're depressed.
4. You feel detached
You keep avoiding people yourself and then start feeling as an alone soul. It later results in the phobia of stepping out. You like being alone but it scares at the same time.
5. You have no patience
Waiting for something is not your cup of tea. You want everything instantly. And if you do not get that, you lose control over your emotions.
6. It’s hard to focus
Psychologically, overthinking reduces your mental energy. If you experience it for a long time, you may become unable to even think clearly or unable to concentrate.
7. Headaches
There may be many factors of a headache but stress is a common cause of it. As per a study, people who experience migraines are most like to be anxious.
8. You lack motivation
You've lost the spark to do things because nothing seems interesting to you and you start believing like you can't do anything. If you start doing anything, the idea of quitting keeps running in your mind.
9. Under-eating / Over-eating
A depressed person does not take care of himself and his diet, it may result in weight gain or weight loss. You start having an upset stomach too.
10. Insomnia
It's one of the major signs of depression. You keep regretting your past, thinking about the present, and stressing about the future while trying hard to fall asleep. Sometimes, insomnia becomes another reason to stress about in the night.
