Sounds more like a self-esteem problem. Depression comes in may different forms. We can't tell you if it is or isn't because we don't know. Talk with friends and your parents about how you are feeling. If you are that concerned it could be depression then ask your parents to bring you to a counslor. A counslor will be able to tell you if you are depressed or not.

I think it sounds more like anxiety. Anxiety can have many controls over your mind, as with depression also. Make an appoointment with your doctor, and let him know exactly how you are feeling, and what you are hearing. You have to be completely honest and give all of the details so they can get you the best help possible. I suffer from severe depression, and anxiety, and I have many restless nights where my mind just keeps running and I cannot sleep. Kind of like right now :) Stay positive, both anxiety and depression can be beat.

Do you intepret the voices to be your conscience, or actual voices of other people?

thanks for the advice and support. ive been depressed for a while, 3 years, i was just wondering if hearing voices is a part of it. my doctor has tried me on 2 different meds, and they had bad side effects. i don't really know where the voices come from, i don't really know. Some of voices include thoughts telling me to hurt myself
