Is this the symptom of my depression? please help me..?

Question

Im thinking about going to the G.P tomorrow but i want to make sure it is first. This has been happening for a time now..I get scared and insecure when i talk with new people..i feel like they are looking down and laughing at me. i feel very awkward when i socialize.. i fear of ignorance, criticism, and fear of being left out...! Is this anxiety? ( i did get bullied for 2 years in my childhood)

I get very tired easily at work and sometimes cant concentrate. Im finding it hard to be happy. I get angry very quickly and paronoid everytime. Ive gained a lot of weight because i feel so empty and i just eat makes me feel a lil better. Just feel so ugly everytime...hopeless ..and stupid. I stress easily if something has happened ..and get really scared. I dont know but coming back home in my room makes me feel much better and going sleep. I cry for no reason...just feel sad and miserable...and sometimes i do think of suiciding ...cuz im so used to thinking how life will be if i end it.

Answer 1

Counseling helps a lot, you can release all your bottled up feelings and they'll listen and calm you down. Counseling helps me quite a bit when I feel hopeless, sad and miserable too. You should go to the G.P. too and see if they can give you medication if necessary and hook you up with a counselor who can talk with you.

Whatever you choose to do I hope things get better for you and that you feel much better about life and everything.

Answer 2

im no expert in this area but it defo sounds like you are depressed. I strongly advice you to go and see your G.P. Any thoughts of suicide are a sure sign of this. When you go and see your doctor they will get a professional to help you and in time you wont feel like this any longer. Good Luck and all the best. :-)

Have I Got Signs of Depression?



If you have been feeling down, or out-of-sorts, your thoughts can easily turn to whether you are depressed or not. This first section will take you through the signs of depression and how depression is diagnosed.



However, whether you 'fit' the depression diagnosis or not is unimportant. If you are feeling so down that you need to do something about it, that is enough.



Usually, our clients report one or more of the following:



Exhaustion on waking

Disrupted sleep, sometimes through upsetting dreams

Early morning waking and difficulty getting back to sleep

Doing less of what they used to enjoy

Difficulty concentrating during the day

Improved energy as the day goes on

Anxious worrying and intrusive upsetting thoughts

Becoming emotional or upset for no particular reason

Shortness of temper, or irritability

Not all people have all of these, and some have different signs, but if you are depressed, at least some of these will probably ring true with you.



The individual signs of depression - the way you feel - are what are used in diagnosing depression. So it's easy to see why there is so much confusion, seeing as the signs are generally common emotions and feelings.



There are also physical effects of depression, which we'll come to later.

Only a qualified doctor or health practitioner can formally diagnose you with clinical depression. However, how they reach this diagnosis gives an incredibly important insight into how to treat depression.

Answer 3

It appears that you are depressed. Meeting GP is a good idea. But GPs are so busy and overloaded he might get rid of you by giving some anti depressant tablets. Please ask him to refer to a psychiatric counselling. The NHS system is fully overloaded and even there you might not get the correct help if you are not lucky.  

Answer 4

From the look of it, you are unable to control your emotions. Seeing a good GP will help and he'll probably give u some pills to pop to ease your anxiety. However, i'd recommend you to talk to someone, like a counsellor so that you can pour out your concerns in confidence. Take care!

Answer 5

How long have you been having these symptoms? The general rule is if you have been having these symptoms for more than 2 weeks and they have been interfering in your life, then it is depression.

Don't take it from me, I'm no GP. Only a doctor can make an educated diagnosis.

Answer 6

Everything you describe in your question points to depression.  You must go see your doctor and talk things through.  You may be prescribed medication for a while or for some counselling. Hope you soon start to feel better.

Answer 7

not only are you depressed, but you may have social anxiety disorder. what you wrote in the first paragraph sounds a lot like you fear being in social situations. however, many people do feel as though people are judging them wherever they go - it's not so uncommon - so don't feel like you're the only one.

anyway, since i'm no expert, you could try typing into google "depression test" and "social anxiety test" and it will give you a more credible answer.

anyways, good luck to you! i'm sure you'll feel better in time.
