Depression Understood Forums

Hi
I honestly am not sure what i am doing, i havent been diagnosed with depression but i sometimes have suicidal thoughts although i have never attempted suicide or self-harmed. On the outside i am usually a very bubbly person but when i am alone i dont know...
Usually when i get upset it has been triggered by something small that i will completely overreact about and i know i am overreacting but i cant seem to stop crying
A lot of the time i feel completely worthless
I am not coming on here asking for sympathy, just maybe to share stories with people who can relate to how i am feeling
On the other hand maybe i am just very sensitive
Should i go to the doctor and see if i am or should i just deal with it? I know i have a privelidged life so maybe i should suck it up.
I dont know, i am very confused
Any comments would be valued

Hello,
I'm not doctor, but it seems to me that you do suffer depression. I say this because of my own experience with it and it's symptoms.

If I were you, I'd see a doctor about this- someone with the credentials to diagnose.
Currently, I've been started on some depression meds that seem to be working...

Anyhow, welcome to this site. I hope it brings you some peace. Always know that you're never alone. People do care.

Hello 4EverMe
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, you have no idea how much it means to me, especially the bit about how people do care because i think we all know what it feels like to feel unloved.
I will take your advice and see a doctor, until then just reading other peoples discussions on the site are proving so helpful in realising it is not just me and to stay strong etc.
I think this website is the start of a good path to new beginnings for me and i wish you all the same.
