Great question, FunnyValentine.oh thank you! well i took it and it said i have moderate depression. which i can see i guess? i dont know i havent been to a therapist in a long time but i think im about to make an appointment or something. i just dont like talking vulnerability to strangers like that
For an official diagnosis, doctors may use one or more questionnaires about the symptoms you're experiencing, such as the Beck Depression Inventory and the PHQ-9. Here's a copy of the PHQ-9 you can take online: https://www.mdcalc.com/phq-9-patient-health-questionnaire-9
Valentine, it's understandable that you don't like talking to strangers/therapists. It's very hard for me to find a therapist that makes me feel comfortable. Perhaps there are some things that you can work on by yourself without a therapist.Hm, yeah i agree that i really should get a routine going. i feel like i was more talented/motivated in high school but that's probably because i got dressed every day and i had a routine. thank you so much for talking to me!!
I don't know if these will apply to you or not but here are 2 things I personally have worked on:
1. I journal every night. It is part of my bedtime routine. It does not make the depression go away, but at least my journal is a safe place to vent. There are many variations, like bullet journaling & gratitude journaling. I am not someone who requires myself to write 3 pages or 15 minutes (or some of the other rules I've heard). If I'm too tired to write much, I allow myself to just write the date and the word "exhausted".
2. When I got laid off at the start of the pandemic, I stopped taking care of myself. I stopped showering. I stopped exercising. etc. I lost my routine because I had nowhere to be and I literally couldn't go anywhere because of lockdown. I worked to re-build a routine. I felt like I didn't have the energy to stand up to take a shower but I could take a bath. I started doing squats & other small exercises at home. I kept a water bottle nearby to remind me to stay hydrated, etc.
