I think I might have depression

[mocha delight]

I’m new and think I may have depression as my gp thought I might have a touch of it but I think it’s more then that as I’ve got most of the signs/symptoms which I new I did have a slight case of it. But ever since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea & coeliac disease (gp thought it was just the stress of diagnosis) but yet things still have not changed and In fact has developed more so since the gastroenterologist I had been going to completely mishandled my case. I’ve tried talking to one family member but they kind of ignored it and another one I tried to talk to but it did not go as planned. So I’ve come here as there seems to be really great support here.

I hey mark I am overweight and struggle with losing weight as it seesaws to so I’d love to have the problem of losing weight but in a healthy way of course. And hey at least your lucky to not have seesawing of eating/sleeping to much to barely eating/sleeping much (most nights it’s also like I’m very tired & not tired at all at the same time to) plus I kind of feel that at night when I try to get to sleep I feel like I just can’t switch my brain off at all so I lie there so long that I don’t remember falling asleep at all.

Hi mark I’m 31 and still living at home and I also wake up very early in the morning and it takes hours to get back asleep. And it sounds like your son & daughter keep you busy on the weekends in a good way.
