Iv had depression for nearly 2 years now, n recently it has got really bad, im havin to see a counsellor and might be put on medication tomorrow, going to see the doc about it. Im just so scared, I havnt got any energy, i get about 3 hours of sleep each night, im meant to be at skool, its my last week before i break up for christmas holidays, for yet more revision for exams after christmas. I cant even walk about I'm so tired, cant think or concentrate, cant do any of my work. Iv been at home today and yesterday because i simply couldnt get out of bed. I jus sit about and cry, havnt got the strength to pull myself together and get up like i did before. is this how ur meant to feel when u've got depression?

This is depression. There may be certain things that go on with one person and not the other, but what you just described is definitely depression. I say you go see your doctor, start meds if they recommend and you'll start to feel better very soon. Please keep posting to let us know your progress.

Yep, sounds like depression.

I think going on meds would help you a great deal. They take awhile to take affect, but when they start to work you feel so much better.

Anyway, I have to go back to work.

Take care

Hi there!


Yes this sounds like a classic depressive episode hun,, but remember it doesnt have to be, and wont be this way forever.. Just remember to be totally honest with your doctor because they have heard it all and can help you best if you are totally truthful, even if is a little embarrassing..More importantly too,
