I think there’s something wrong with me but I don’t know what…

I get depressed randomly and I can’t function, all I can do is curl up in a ball. I can sometimes pull myself out of it but most of the time I can barely even think and I start imagining I’m someone else from somewhere else to distract myself. But then that gets really hard to get out of and i cant seem to get back to thinking in my own life.
I have an awful attention span as well and an awful memory. I can’t seem to keep track of whats happening around me, ever. Like I get really angry or upset and I know theres a reason but I dont remember till like hours later. And everytime i have to do something important instead of doing it I curl up in a ball and my mind goes blank and i cant feel time passing and i do absolutely nothing until its too late. But it only happens when its something really important for me, like for my health or future. So it seems like this wierd self destructive reaction.
I dunno do I just have depression or do I have like some kind of bipolar thing… just does anyone know what this could be?

I´m not a doctor, so I can´t tell you what it is exactly. But I have what you´ve described from time to time too. One thing you definitely should look out for is what has been put into the food you eat. A depression can come from certain ingredients in pre-processed food. As soon as you know if you are allergic to anything in your food, you could get that out of the way first and then narrow down other possible triggers for your “curl up-states”. Consulting a doctor (though I never went to one because of my problem) seems to be a logical step, too. I wish you all the best of luck, take care!
