I don't know what's wrong with me ? Everyday I could be doing anything and then all of a sudden this wave of sadness and dread just washes over me sometimes it gets to the point where I break down and cry am I depressed?
yes sounds like either anxiety or depression ...or both as they often occur together the word dread suggests anxiety ... a sort of fearful feeling that comes on for no real reason have you had it long ? don't worry with a bit of research on your part you can find ways to deal with it .. either self help or professionally
You have no way of knowing unless you talk to a professional. Please seek help if you feel like it is a big concern. Talk to your doctor or counsellor who can refer you to someone who can help you or research resources in your community that can help you. Good luck
