Unsure

I work 2nd shift and hate it! I hate having to be up until 2 or 3 am and then sleep into the afternoon the next day. This means that I keep this schedule even on the weekends. I go to bed at 3 or 4 am if not later and sleep till noon or later. I eat a ton of drive through food (probably 90% of my meals) and I've gained a ton of weight. I sit around in my apartment with the blinds drawn and avoid going out (I went out a lot in college). I can't bring myself to clean my apartment even though I have a few day old dishes just sitting out with mcdonald's wrappers and old pizza boxes. I just step over them and watch TV on my couch. I am not socially awkward, no one would guess that I live my life like this. I am very good at putting up a front for everyone else. I often think about suicide. No plans to commit suicide, just things that cross my mind as I'm driving usually. Things like swerving my car into guardrails or on coming traffic, jumping off bridges as I cross them. Again, I am not going to carry these out and have no desire to end my life, they're just thoughts that come into my mind as I'm driving. I sometimes do cry, but it's usually for a reason. Like the fact that I hate working the hours I do and that I work very hard but my boss doesn't think I deserve a promotion that he has given to people with less experience than me and less knowledge of the work we do. What do you all think? Is this legit depression? or am I just down in the dumps and need to get a grip? This has been going on for at least a year.

Hey Ladies,

Me and my female coworker are both mid 20 somethings and single. I work the afternoon shift and she works days. Every day when I come in she greets me with a "Hey (my name), how are you?" We've really gotten to know each other over the last few months due to this overlap in our schedules. If I happen to be walking into work as she's leaving, she'll always engage me in conversation about anything at all for as long as I stand there and talk to her before saying I need to get to work, etc.

There will also be a day out of the week when she will completely ignore me, but is as nice and bubbly as ever the following day and for the rest of the week. She will also not interact with me on facebook even though we are friends. In fact, she'll comment to me in person about a post I made, but will never respond online to it.

She'll also tell me "have a good day" as she's leaving if no one else is around, but will not seek me out if there are others around to tell me to have a good night. She will tell other guys in the office to "have a good night" even if she hadn't been talking to them. A while back, I mentioned to her how I was having trouble sleeping now that I am working nights with the sun's schedule. So, she offered to let me borrow blackout curtains for my room.

Without fail, she's has asked me "got any plans this weekend?" for the last 7 or 8 weeks now...

Just the other day when I showed up to work, I decided I was going to play her game and try to not talk to her. As I was sitting at my cubicle, I received an email from her out of the blue saying something to the effect of "Hey, I checked out that TV show the other day after we talked about it." This naturally drew me over to her desk to talk for a bit...

She also talks about how she needs to go and workout because she's getting fat...which of course isn't true. One day she mentioned how another coworkers hair was "cute" and how she could never get her hair to do that. Is she fishing for a compliment?

Finally, she was planning a trip and invited a lot of her close friends at work. One of her friends came up to her and started talking about the trip in front of me (as I was talking to her). After this other person left, she asked me if I'd like to go on the trip.

I am confused as hell about all these different signals I am getting and lately I feel that she's definitely interested in me, but I am not too sure with the other behaviors I have seen from her. What do you ladies think?
