How do you tell if you are depressed? I never thought i was until this morning when as i was driving to work i thought to myself..i wish soemone would just hit my car and put me out of my misery. i mean i would never hurt myself and i don't really want to die but i am so fed up with everything. I have chronic stomach problems that give me diareah and i take pills to control. i have recently been getting really bad headahces where i can't do anything for days. and i am always always sick. with whatever. like i had the flu about 3 times this year already...not fun and i seem to get every little cold out htere. i have good days and then i feel great and then someone happens and i just feel miserable. i just don't know what to do . half the time i think that everything is in my head and that i am making myself sick if that is even possible. i am going to my doctors tonight ..anythingi should mention to him?

There is a quiz at the top of the board here, that can help you decide if you are depressed.

Welcome to the board!!

I agree with Trac, take the quiz and print it out to take to your doctor. I have felt that way myself: wanting a truck to hit me. Sometimes just putting one foot in front of the other is sooo hard.

This is a great place where everyone understands, and a wonderful place for support.

I look forward to getting to know you.
