I woke up at the sound of my alarm. I turned it off but I just stayed on my bed, lying. I just starred in nowhere. I don't feel my body. I just want to stay on my bed. Lying. Doing nothing. I am quite scared. Especially now, it has almost been 2 weeks since I had been like this. I am scared that I have depression. I can't have depression. I can't become a successful psychologist then.
I closed my eyes, trying to sleep again. I don't feel like going to school. I can't seem to find any motivation anymore. I decided to just sleep. I just want to sleep forever.

Depression (just a brief explanation of what depression really is)
• Depressed mood or a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities for more than two weeks
• Mood represents a change from the person's baseline.
• Impaired function: social, occupational, educational.
• Specific symptoms, at least 5 of these 9, present nearly every day:
1. Depressed mood or irritable most of the day ,nearly everyday,as indicated by their subjective report (e.g., feels sad or empty) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful).
2. Decreased interest or pleasure in most activities, most of each day.
3. Significant weight change(5%)or changed appetite.
4. Change in sleep: Insomnia or hypersomnia (Insomnia - trouble in sleeping, Hypersomnia is when you want to sleep and sleep)
5. change in activity:Psychomotor agitation or retardation
6. Fatigue or loss of energy
7. Guilt/worthlessness: Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt
8. Concentration: diminished ability to think or concentrate, or more indecisiveness
9. Suicidality:Thoughts of death or suicide,or has suicide plan.
If you have these signs, kindly look for a psycholgist or psychiatrist. Stay strong! If you want any counseling, I'll be happy do so! My advocate in life is to raise awareness in the Mental Health. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
