Feeling Down, Fatigue, Random Bursts Of Tears, Suicidal Thoughts. History Of Self Harming. Depression?

I constantly feel down and have no energy to do anything. I have random bursts of tears and have self harmed on and off for about a month. I have a voice in my head that always tells me the worst of situations and i have had the odd suicidal thought. Is this depression or am i just stressed. Im too scared to go to my GP and ask.

Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have been having.

From the information you have provided, you are most likely depressed. And with suicidal thoughts, please you need to visit the emergency room to get help now. Try to avoid being alone by yourself and in areas that you cannot easily get help.

Remember, depression may have an identifiable cause that can be treated. So consulting, getting them investigated and proposing a plan for you is a great idea. NEVER be ashamed to talk to your doctor because that is the exact reason why he's there. he cannot be there for you to technically avoid him by being scared!

Hope you find this helpful, informative and guiding.
I wish you well.
