What's the difference between depressed and fed-up?

Post Reply New Topic

Seriously , this question has been bugging me for years!

Feed up is anger. "By gollly Im not taking it anymore!".

Depressed is just despair and apathy.

Fed up is anger indeed. But it is also tiredness. And too often my tiredness just gets viewed as depression

Depressed is feeling lousy even when life is, relatively speaking, good.

Fed up is when you're sad and tired and angry because you're stuck in an untenable situation and don't know what to do about it.

If fed up isn't addressed, guess what it eventually turns into?? Yup-- depression.

I would love to hear an answer to this also. I am told that I am always depressed. But I say I am just not happy with work or the way things are going for me.

So when life is generally speaking not relatively good it is normal to be fed up then.

Sometime I am just too tired to make a fuss but it never lasts long. Depression to me is like a tunnel. There is always light at the end of those.

I always thought that depression was anger turned inward.

Take the person whom you enjoy most in the world
I'm tired of dealing with you!---------------------------------------------feed up
I don't care you're there I want to but don't----------------------------depressed
Co worker to you "its time for work your running late".
I'm not going to deal with the world f___ them all I'm going to bed--feed up
I need to get up but can't figure out what good it will do-------------depressed
Child tries to get parent up.
response the same for both "leave me alone"
Though for feed up you probably broke/ need /want some thing it can wait.
Thought for depressed why can't the world let me be I don't want to see it I have screwed up every thing.
Depression is ether sorrow or apathy based with a strong emotional base.
Feed up is more a surface response to different stimuli can be powerful to but not the same.

Depression is what comes after the anger is gone or turned on your self long enough.
"Common" depression 5 stages not all will get to all the stages! I wish I could say the same.
Pessimism
Her attitude is poor.
When depressed, she develops a pessimistic outlook on life that prevents her enjoyment of pleasurable experiences and activities.
Poor Appetite
He eats less or more with no interest in the food
His favorite foods are no longer of interest because his appetite is affected by continuous suffering that consumes his mind and body.
Sleep Disturbances
She overworks.
She either sleeps too much (hypersomnia) or too little (insomnia) in her attempt to escape the pain of depression.
Self Blame
He's self-hating.
Feelings of guilt, shame or worthlessness control him as he tries to accept his loss.
Suicidal Thoughts
He feels hopeless.
Morbid thoughts of death and/or suicide take hold. He may express the wish to die as a consequence of his depression.

If there's light at the end of the tunnel, it's not depression.

Depression is when you don't bother to get out of bed until you can't take the pain from starvation anymore.

I like to think of depression as a medical condition where, despite what's going on in your life, despite how you think, you will always be depressed. However, if you are always going to be in an untenable situation, then you will be deeply unhappy, unfulfilled, etc etc. For all intents and purposes, if you can't solve what's making you unhappy and it's an ongoing problem, you're also going to be depressed.
I would love for there to be a terminology difference between these 2 things, but I really don't think there is. Where depression comes from isn't necessary as part of the diagnosis of depression, and I suppose that makes sense because we know jack and s**t about what causes it. Take your vitamins, exercise, and eat right is about the best help out there as far as I'm concerned.

If you call yourself fed up implies that you're fed up about something, which implies to me that it's not due to your emotions not working properly. Of course the vast majority of people who are depressed due to something being broken in their brain or body or whatever, will have crap going on in their lives, like most people do, and so it can be hard to really know what's truly wrong with you.

I agree that if there's a light at the end of the tunnel, it's not depression. The depression tunnel's too long for that!

I've had both, many times. For me, when I was depressed I would think that hurting myself was a good idea. When I was fed up I'd think that hurting somebody else who I was mad at might not be such a horrible idea. I only tried to hurt myself though, never anyone else out of frustration or being fed up. I've only hurt somebody else out of self defense when I've been hit or have been just about to be hit. As in them drawing back to hit, or something similar.
