Aiee, ouch.

My jaw is just like, off.  It clicks when I move it and it feels like its misaligned or something.

Do you grind your teeth? Has your jaw been struck?

My pen leaked and now my hands are covered in deep blue blotches. There is no more soap at work, so its going to be like that for the rest of the day.

Yes to the first one, no to the second one.

I have a nightguard right now to prevent "clenching", which I assume is similar to grinding.  Been a few weeks and its still a problem.

I feel like my jaw dislodged itself spontaneously last month and now every time I move it it clicks.

For TMJ disorder (jaw clicking) a lot of times is linked to stress, so doing relaxing stuff can sometimes help, as can anything that helps you from tensing your jaw muscles over long periods of time (such as when you are asleep). Personally I suffered from it for a little while but made sure to start actively unclenching my jaw from time to time (since I would just unconsciously clench it while awake) and it cleared itself up over a month or so. However in more serious cases I'd suggest seeing a specialist if you haven't already, there are often several things they can get/give you that can help stop it from happening.

Brain, why you gotta idly consider death whenever I'm bored. This is making me feel like a caricature.

I'm given to understand that it may be due to habit. I don't presume to know you or your history, but I've read that having depression and/or suicidal thoughts at a formuative age (whatever that means) can cause that. The idea is that regardless of what's going on, death is always a possible out. Even when the thing to get out of is being bored.

I'm still not sure if I have depression. I have self esteem issues, trouble controlling my emotions, and when I was in high school I literally cried myself to sleep every night.

But save for one single incident I have never attempted suicide. I always have enough energy to go through my daily life. I can use reason to beat my emotions, which is something depressed people seem to be incapable of doing reliably.

Maybe it's more that I have a terrible attitude than my brain has terrible chemical balance.

- Being suicidal is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition of being depressed.

- Contrary to what you appear to think, most depressives are experts at suppressing their problems to hide them. Lots of the time when someone offs themselves because they couldn't take it any more, their loved ones had no idea that they were having this sort of trouble.

Go see a doctor - preferrably a psychologist or a psychiatrist. It can't hurt, and it might help tremendously.

Again, though, I'm able to see the beauty of this world and appreciate what I have and I don't think that's a trait that depressed people have.

[TD1]

I'd say that still counts as depressive. It's not that they can't see beauty, it's that they're inexplicably sad regardless.

[TheBiggerFish]

@Cinder:...Yeah,I agree with Th4Dw4rfY1.

[Frumple]

Nah, that's pretty much entirely disassociated from depression. There can be a correlation but it's not a very strong one. Can depend on the type a bit, but eh. Otherwise helg seems pretty on point.
