DEPRESSION COMMUNITY
am I getting depression symptoms? I am afraid

am I getting depression symptoms? I am afraid

I am a hispanic 35 year old male. I always considered myself of a healthy person with health habits, but in the last couple of months my health is going down and my quality of sleep is getting worse. I have a very stressful job that pays well and I can not leave because many of my circustances. I am not married and I don't have any kids, but I have a family to support in my home town.
In the last couple of months I haven't gone out once with my friends, I keep contact with people outside of work to a minimum and I am keeping my problems to myself, because I think I don't want to worry others and at the same time I have been always very private. I wonder if is depression what is getting to me, or maybe just lack of sleep so I can cope of the demands of my job. Anyway, in the last couple of weeks I started having a consistent dull pain on my left temporal and my left eye is red and my eyes are getting droopy. I wonder if I might have  an stress issue that sleeping can resolve. Today I was prescribed Rozerem so I can sleep better. If my headches continue should I think in seeing a Neurologist?

It does sound like the stress in your life is causing the unwanted affect of depression. Depression and stress can cause sleeping problems. Headaches can also be associated with stress, which can cause anxiety. Exercise is a great way to fight the depression. Try to get out at walk 30 minutes a day. Walking will also help to relieve your stress. I wish you all the best.
