I want to get diagnosis for depression and anxiety BTW.should I?

After spending a lot of time and money I got a diagnosis for major depression. Spend nearly 2 months trying a medication that gave me the shits and made me unnecessarily drowsy. Didn't improve my mood at all.

I feel like an idiot for thinking meds could fix me. Would not do again.

Worth a shot. Some people don't get benefits from meds, other people are literally saved by them. It all depends, but it's worth a try surely.

>>18278860
Damn that means that's a no from you. So do you get better by yourself or its still look hopeless. What's your tips for possibly depression people like me. How do I know I have depression?

>>18278861
Does getting diagnosis long? Because I have to study for important test this year.

1. Go to doctor
----there's a chance but no guarantee it will help
2. Don't go to doctor
----there's an absolute guarantee it won't help

Meds will just turn you into an emotionless zombie and make you fat because they alter your metabolism

An official diagnosis helped me to realize that my depression was unfixable. It's just part of who I am. I won't ever be rid of depression and it will always be a passenger in my life. Once I understood this, I focused on coping strategies. My depression is a manageable disease but not curable. I will, without a doubt, turn to negative destructive thoughts if I allow myself. Keep your depression at bay at all costs, or it will ruin your life. Cope, cope, cope, distract.

A good sign of depression is feeling hopeless about the future for a very extended period of time. You feel like a burden on everyone around you. It's staying up late doubting if you'll ever be happy. It's regretting your whole life. It's pretending to be cheerful in so many social situations you've become just a mask. Depression is personal, though.

I do have a feeling of hopeless for quite amount of time. And yes I do feel like I'm a burden. And yeah I lost good amount of sleep because of this, it's like
>will I ever be happy.
>will I die alone
>will I found myself a misaki.
But I don't the answer. Or I know but I just turn blind eye to them. I keep telling myself
>it's gonna get better.
But well I keep finding myself repeating the word. It's become a mantra for me. It's even harder for me that my mother and my father(mostly my father) don't really believe in me.>>18278888 I hope it's a meme illness and just by breathe deep and 2 hours of walking with book and some balls will make me better. Maybe I gonna do some thinking and decide whether I go or no.

Thanks here's a (you) :)

THIS.

Also the rule of thumb is do so if it's been like this for at least a week.
