It certainly sounds like it. If you have gone so far as to try to hurt yourself, you need to talk to someone; a doctor!

Depression is not something you should be afraid to seek help for, it is a common but potentially serious problem that is growing everyday.

See a doctor now! You will be glad you did, in the long run!

Good luck!

Maybe your just bored?

I think you may have depression. My sister has done exactly the same thing. And now the docters have put her on special tablets.

Depression

Depression is another risk factor for heart disease. In fact, women who are depressed are twice as likely to develop heart disease than those who are not. Depression is common in both women and men after a heart attack.

How can I manage my stress or depression?


Good health habits can have a protective effect against stress and depression. Regular physical activity relieves stress and depression and lowers the chance of heart disease.

Taking part in a stress management program may decrease the chance of more heart problems for those who have heart disease. By attending stress management programs, you can come up with new ways of facing everyday challenges.

Some ways you can lower your stress include:

Taking a deep breath-this helps your muscles relax

Closing your eyes and resting

Thinking of relaxing things

Exercising or taking a walk

Eating right-limit foods with fat, sugar, and salt

Talking to a friend about your troubles

Changing the things that cause you to stress

Focus on the good things in your life!


If you find yourself feeling down or "blue" for a long time, talk with your doctor about how to get help. Keep in mind that help from family, friends, and other heart patients can help. Exercise is a great way to help reduce depression as well as stress. Check with your doctor before taking any over-the-counter remedies.

Ask your health care team or doctor for additional suggestions about how to manage your stress or depression.

How do I know if I have stress or depression?


Signs of stress and depression are very similar and may include:

Stress

Change in sleeping patterns, such as inability to sleep
Mood swings
Feeling angry, afraid, nervous or helpless
Crying frequently
Lack of energy
Unusual eating patterns, such as eating too much or a loss of appetite

Depression

Inability to sleep, early-morning waking or oversleeping or a need to sleep too much
Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Decreased energy, fatigue
Appetite and/or weight changes
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
Difficulty concentrating
Restlessness, irritability


I would recommend that you go and see your docter. I hope that you get it all sorted.
