Someone living with depression has many different feelings to try and
deal with on a daily basis. Sometimes these can become so overwhelming
that it is almost impossible to get through each day. There are a lot
of mental depression side effects that these people have to deal with.
For instance, depression interferes with both your personal and
professional life by making it harder for you to deal with normal
events. If you are dealing with depression, then you may find it hard
to get out of bed for fear of what the day may bring. You may
experience insomnia or you may find yourself wanting to sleep all the
time. Either way you will feel tired and worn out all the time.
A depressed person will have very low energy levels and feel tired and
worn out even when they first get out of bed. You may feel lonely, sad
and empty inside for no apparent reason. You will no longer enjoy
going out with friends and doing the things that you use to do. In
fact, you would much rather be at home alone where things are easier.
Holding a conversation can even become difficult as simple decisions
get harder to make. Basically, you begin to lose interest in
everything that you use to care about and nothing really matters
anymore....
