How can you tell you're depressed?

[Enkephalen]

We all get depressed now and again. Some of us are depressed more than others. How can you tell when you are depressed? What sorts of things do you do to try to cope or to give in to your depression? Do you take to your bed? Do you listen to sad music? Do you cry a lot? Do you eat yourself into a stupor?

And while we are on the subject of depression, what do you do to drag yourself up from the depths of sadness and back into feeling better?

I get really anti-social. I pretty much stay in my house/bedroom and sleep/surf the net/other stuff. I also tend to eat sweet food (ice cream, candy, etc.).

Usually Mox helps me when I'm feeling down...he always knows how to make me laugh.

i know when i'm depressed cause i hate myself & all of TK!

And i generally don't care about anything life related...except for sex.

When i stop carin' about sex i'll be dead.
