Depression
Pls evaluate if I'm just stressed and sad or have depression: Feeling emotionless most of the time, neverending thoughts (want to shut down my brain but can't), sleeplessness, pretending to be ok with everyone, getting annoyed by suggestions on being positive or to be more active. Please note I've been suffering from chronic illness called fibromyalgia, have taken ayurvedic treatment...it's ok to an extent but not 100%. Scares me to death to think I'll get back those severe pains.

Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately.
