I grew up thinking that I was quite happy and fortunate in life, but I was probably quite sensitive inside. I was bullied by a group of boys when I was young, and I ran to tell the teacher, but the teacher criticized me instead, and this incident left a deep shadow on me. Another time, I received a letter of termination just because I greeted a friend too often, which made me especially sad.

Slowly, the emotions got worse and worse, and sometimes I would even think about suicide, but I couldn't really do it every time. There were days when I was even afraid of all life around me, including myself, and felt especially helpless.
I'm a little scared to think about it myself, I've been in this mood on and off for 2-3 years now, on and off, I wonder if it's a psychological problem?
Hi, buddy! Hiya!
Let's start with a brief explanation of the difference between depressive mood and depression:
Depression:It's a normal emotional reaction that everyone experiences, such as feeling down when you're frustrated, out of love, or stressed, but you can usually adjust after a while.
Depression:This is a more persistent psychological disorder that requires a professional diagnosis and manifests itself in multiple episodes of low mood without mania, which usually interferes with daily life.
Let's talk about it.Some common signs of depression:
Typical symptoms of a depressive episode:
Persistent low mood
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
Changes in appetite, such as eating too much or losing appetite
Sleep problems, possibly insomnia or trouble sleeping
Slowed down or agitated
Feeling tired all the time, no energy
Feeling useless or guilty
Poor concentration and fuzzy thinking
Thoughts of suicide or death
Other related symptoms
subduedCore SymptomsCan be summarized as "three lows":
downcast
slow-witted
lack of energy
Based on your description, it sounds more like a momentary depressive mood than a depression (butIt's best to go to the hospital or a specialized facility to get checked out for specifics), which can be regulated by some simple methods, such as:
Focus more on your studies and enrich yourself
Talk to your friends often and share your happiness and worries
Take up a hobby such as running, listening to music or reading a book to divert your attention
One more word of encouragement: it's better to live one day happy and one day unhappy than to choose to be happy! (Let bygones be bygones, we can't change it, but we can grasp the present and look to the future.)
I wish you progress in your studies and get in a better mood. Go for it!
