Who would I talk to if I think I may be depressed?!

I am going through the same thing. I've lost a lot lately and I am batteling a lot of things that happened in my past. I feel like giving up, even thought about taking my own life a couple of times. but the fact that I believe in God and had been raised in the church kept me from performing such a thing. i know i have a lot to live for. But it got to the point where I knew it was just time to talk to someone. but even when i started to get the help was when i had the thoughts, but the thoughts eventually passed by me doing what my doctor told me to do, and by praying and reading my bible. And if u don't believe in God, go with what u believe. anything that will help u. I've started to open up to my family, but b4 I did that, which I still am learning how to do, I see a psychologist. what they do is they ask about your routine and what happened in your past first to see what they need to work on with u. my situation is I have to set boundaries and balance, and I'm learning how to do that. and the fact that I'm learning how to open up to my family more helps a lot. and u should try journaling as well. it feels good to let it out on paper if u can't let it out to anyone else at the moment. exercise is good. I still feel down. i have my good days and bad days, but the fact that I am now starting to experience some good days says a lot; it says that I'm really coming along. and i'm able to tell people things that i've always been afraid to tell them because of how people take certain things when u tell them. but see a psychologist. they were created for a reason. that's what they're there for. if u have friends, talk to them. but u even have to set your boundaries with them sometimes. But u should try it and see how it works outHealth Question & Answer

I think the best person to go to is your doctor.

Explain how you've been feeling, only your doctor can decide what the problem is. From there you can get counselling and medication - it's a long road and it's difficult but there's so much help out there. Talk to your boyfriend as well, tell him what the problem is and hopefully he will understand.

Good luck.Health Question & Answer

Instead of looking for someone to diagnose you it might be a heck of a lot better to find one or two or three happy people to hang out with. I would avoid situations where people sit around talking about themselves (coz inevitably that would prompt revelations of how **** you feel). I joined a mountaineering group, took to the hills with quite a bubbly bunch of people, stopped talking about how **** I felt, started enjoying the hills and felt heaps better.

I began at Glenmore Lodge in the Cairngorms. Why not fork out for a long weekend's activity holiday there, meet some new people and have a good time.? Beats being diagnosed - coz there's almost always a diagnosis.Health Question & Answer
