There are two main types of depression, most depressions are ‘software’ related, only some of them are ‘hardware’ related.
If you believe to have a depression, then here are a few questions you can ask yourself:
- Are you ready to take very high risks (for example driving way too fast or tend to neglet important meetings and friends) ?
- Do you smoke cigarettes/weed (yes I know your secrets haha) or drink alcohol more than usual?
- do you feel like you have a certain relieve after consuming it?
- Are you very unhappy with yourself or your life?
- Do you lack interest in your hobbies or things you found interesting before?
- Are you afraid of failure? Especially when you do everyday stuff?
- Do you even feel like taking your own life?
- Do you lose control over your emotions regularly?
- Do you feel the urge to prove yourself to others or to constantly dominate?
- Do you argue with friends and family a lot?
- Do you feel like you have to do a lot of sports to feel better?
In the mental state of a depression, it is clearly normal to have less energy and to not feel like doing anything.
Don’t blame yourself here, you are responsible for yourself, BUT one cannot just stop being depressed, so bare with your own.

The best thing you can do, when you are depressed, is to take action.
The most important thing here is to take small steps though.
Even if you’re a tough guy, taking too big steps may wreck your ability to regain happienes and motivation and may set you back by months!
