Mooooooooooody...

Back to mood swings. Happy for a second, then depressed for the next hour. Anyone out there better not tick me off this few days. Must be the hormones having its war in my mind, or is it just plain depression? If i'd refer to the DSM IV criteria to diagnose depression, i definitely fullfill it! Lets see the diagnostic criteria...

At least 5 of the following symptoms present for 2 weeks, one of which must be either depressed mood or loss of intrest :
  • Mood - depressed (sounds so familiar...)
  • Sleep - increased or decreased (insomnic since god know when)
  • intrest - decreased (definitely, especially with exams coming up)
  • guilt / worthlessness (not yet, and i hope that i will not reach this stage!)
  • energy - decreased or fatigued (totally drained!)
  • difficulty in concentrating or making decisions (nah, not there yet)
  • appetite / weight increase or decrease (both with EXTREME REDUCTION!)
  • psychomotor activity decreased or increased (reduced...)
  • suicidal ideation (oh, it's a everyday norm for me, otherwise i would lead such a boring life)

So, i met 7 out of the 9 criteria. Not bad. Currently, im just not in the mood to be in a world with any other human being. I want to just shut myself out from everyone if possible. TOTALLY NO COMMUNICATION. Period.
