just go to the GP and tell him/her you think you might have a touch of depression and is there a test you can take to check that out?

You'll do the test, find out, and then can talk about your options. Usually either counselling or medication, or both.

You can think that through, and see where you want to go from there. :)

Please don't ignore your feelings or put them off . Unfortunately , that will only hurt you more . I'm sure you need to speak to someone professional asap. I have conquered feelings like yours successfully many times but you must reach out in person . I can even feel your pain through type and feel for you . Please be proactive and put yourself 1st ! You can't even imagine how much better you will feel , even by just taking the 1st step ..I am here for you if you would like to message me . You will be in my thoughts ..with much warmth !

Get through one day at a time ... get and stay 'busy', and hook up with a medical evaluation and treatment plan. Put none of this off. Do it ASAP.

I agree with everyone. You need to see a doctor asap. There are so many ways to beat depression or at least learn to live with it. Medication, therapy and education are just a few.
Please keep us up to date so that we know how u r doing.

Sending much love & prayers.

I also agree with everyone - therapy saved me. I was in a terrible place, and with the right mix of meds and weekly therapy, I finally feel like myself. Please keep us posted, and if you need a friend, count me in! Hugs from Atlanta!

I am so very sorry this is how you feel, for I have felt this way myself many time: depression, despair, anxiety, panic, hopelessness. Being alive can feel very hard and painful. Meds help me, as does an active prayer life. Resources are out there; if nothing else you can go to the nearest hospital and ask for help. I will pray for you. Hard as it may seem to believe right now, it does get better.

I agree with what everyone has posted - go see your doctor and tell him exactly how you're feeling. I was in your situation 2 years ago, and thanks to my doctor and the medication he prescribed me, I am in a much better place now.

It's overwhelming and you don't know what to do - the first step is talking to your doctor and he/she will know what to do and can connect you to other people who know what to do to help you feel better. Just like you posted here, go to them and say "I need help". They'll take it from there.

I agree with everyone. Please see your doctor asap and just explain how you feel. Meds, therapy and prayer have saved me. Please don't feel embarrassed either. You may feel ok at times, but please seek treatment.
