Umm, I feel a bit silly writing this, but I'm pretty sure I'v got depression...so here goes

I'm sorry this will be a complete essay, but I just kinda need someone to talk to who will actually listen and no tell me I'm being silly.

I'm 18 yo, at college studying hairdressing. I have been feeling very low and having not very nice thoughts for about 2 years. I don't want to get up in the morning, I lay in bed at night crying for no reason, or thinking about what death would be like and it scares me when I think like this. I get upset over the silliest things and they can push me into feeling very low and lonely for several days. I'm finding it harder every day to get out of feeling like this and often put on a happy face for everyone else when all I want to do it shut myself away and cry for a few days. I sit and comfort eat crisps, chocolate, biscuits, big dinners, and then cry because I'm putting on more weight.

I don't really know how to explain everything properly, but basically, I just don't feel like me any more, as far as I know nothing has triggered it off. I want to go speak to my doctor, but he's not very good and just poo-poo's everything (I had a perferated ear-drum once and he said he didn't want to give me anything for it!) I'm just getting increasingly scared of myself as I've started thinking of suicide

I don't really know what else to say, apart from that I'm very worried about myself and all I can see in me is my dad, who has severe depression.

Hi Jayleigh and welcome to the thread.If you are feeling so bad that you are thinking of suicide you really must go see a Doctor.Is there another Doctor at your practise you could ask to see?If not i really think you must see the one you have.If you are honest with him about how you are feeling and tell him you are having thoughts of suicide there is no way any Doctor worth his salt will "poo-poo"it.In the meantime the samaritans are at the end of the phone 24 hrs a day so do not hesitate in phoning them.I am going off line to watch casualty now but i am sure someone else will be online for you to talk to.Big ((((hug)))) you are not alone in feeling as you do and it WILL get better.

Hello JayleighAnn (((HUGS))) Welcome to the depression support thread. Everyone here is really friendly and supportive.

Sorry to hear you're feeling so low.

I would suggest that with your symptoms you take the step to make an appointment with your GP. The Doctor will be able to diagnose depression, if it is that and maybe prescribe medication and/or refer you for counselling. Perhaps you could make an appointment with another Doctor and not your usual one who you don't feel is very helpful. Maybe it might be a good idea to write down how you have been feeling, just in case your mind goes blank during the appointment and then you can just hand it to them.

In the meantime do you have a good network of friends and family members that you can talk to? Feel free to continue posting on here

Hey welcome to the thread.

It's difficult to give medical advice on here as the rules state no medical advice ... so I will go and see if I can PM you instead.

Hi
I don't know where to turn now, I feel like my life is a mess, no medication works and I feel like a complete failure compared to the others on this site. I thought I was doing ok but I guess not.
I thought writing it down might help, but I guess not

Hello, welcome to the thread. What medication are you on at the moment? Maybe there is something else that the Doctor could prescribe.

Do you know what's caused you to feel this way?

thanks razorbladekisses im on efexor? i think tried just about everything now, some days are ok then others are like today, if it wasn't for my boys Id have done myself. Ive never been a "happy" person, been worse since my brother was killed, can't see the point anymore, don't get me wrong I love my kids but maybe they'd be better off with someone "happier" I feel so inadequate.
Maybe Im hormonal
