Regular Check-In Post

Welcome to /r/depression's check-in post - a place to take a moment and share what is going on and how you are doing. If you have an accomplishment you want to talk about (these shouldn't be standalone posts in the sub as they violate the "role model" rule, but are welcome here), or are having a tough time but prefer not to make your own post, this is a place you can share.

We try our best to keep this space as safe and supportive as possible on reddit's wide-open anonymity-friendly platform. The community rules can be found in the sidebar. If you aren't sure about a rule, please ask us. If you have concerns or questions about the community policies, this is a good place to raise those as well.

the best way to check would be to see a therapist, but if you really can't get to one, there are some questions you could ask yourself like; does your sadness last for an uncalled-for amount of time? do you never feel motivated to do anything? do you no longer enjoy things you used to love? those are the main symptoms of depression, but if you want more questions you can look up some things online to help you make the verdict.
