I have not yet been diagnosed with depression, but I have close friends who have been diagnosed. So based on what I saw from them, I know I kinda have some depression symptoms. For me, the hardest part is not being able to sleep sometimes. Vacation is the only way that is effective, but not practical.

The trigger for my depressive moods have always been the feeling of being abandoned or being left alone. It could be a breakup with a girl friend, or it could be close colleagues left for other companies, leaving me being the only person on the team. Or a graduation with me being the only one that have not found a job or being accepted by a grad school.
