Are you ever in denial about whether you're depressed or not?

I don't think I am, but every once in a while I just lay on my bed and stare up at the cielling. It's as if I'm sleeping with my eyes open...lost in no thought. I don't know...at times I'm happy, but when I'm by myself I start to think, and it just makes me unhappy. What to do if you're in this situation? I don't feel right, and don't tell me this is natural, it's not natural. Lately, I've even started to talk to myself. I can't tell if I'm actually talking, or if I'm talking to myself in my head. If you don't feel like answering here, you can email me at queenazooga@yahoo.com, or whatever. Just...help me.
Answer:
Yes, I was in denial about being depressed. I would have crying spells everyday before going to work (I like my job - so I'm not sure why that was the trigger), I was unable to sleep, I would get irritated easily, etc. It took my oldest daughter asking me why I cry so much to wake me up and go see a physician. I have been on my medication for only a month, but I can see a significant change in everything (for the better).
You or me? Anyhow, when you suffer from a mental disorder, it not at first apparent that you have one. Not to yourself anyhow. Depression has many kinds of symptoms. you can look on www.webmd.com or www.symptoms.com and see if that matches what you are feeling. There is nothing wrong contacting a social worker or therapist. Most cities have a family service mental health center. Your local health dept or your family dr can make a recommendation. If you cant afford to pay you can go on a sliding scale or apply for state benefits like medicaid to help you. Sounds like even if you arent depressed , you feel like you need help . You should look at that as a way to start feeling better.. and help you through your confusion. do contact someone and ask for help right away. It sometimes takes too long to get it.
