Depressed

I don't exactly know when it started, but i have felt like total shit lately. I am irritable, cant sleep, when I do, I over sleep. so i got to thinking...

I took several on-line depression screenings (no, not crappy Bolgthings or Quizilla tests). These are from actual depression websites.

Your answers reflect the presence of significant depressive symptoms. It is advised to seek a psychiatric consultation


so what do I do? Go to a psyc and spend more money that I don't have and time that i also don't have. Or keep on staying up until 2-3 A.M. and always having to risk speeding tickets on the way to school?I also pondered problems with my Pineal Gland, which is responsible for the production of melatonin, which is regulated in a circadian rhythm. Another possiblity is S.A.D. http://www.sada.org.uk/ and http://www.nmha.org/infoctr/factsheets/27.cfm

    You can take Melatonin capsules. Ever since I started taking them, I've felt better. They're herbal, so you don't have to worry about filling your body with worthless medications.
