how do I go about being diagnosed with depression? I want to get better im tired of being sad all the time. Do I talk to a counselor or do I call my doctor? What do I even say to them?
I would say try to find something that makes you happy, a new hobby, and keep your mind busy like that. It helps.
And of course you will need help. What helps me a lot is going to church and talk to the pastor.
I want to find something to distract me something that will make me happy but I don't know where to start. I used to enjoy reading and I lost interest in that. Then I played rugby and that helped a lot it was my outlet to my anger but I don't do that anymore. I feel like I don't have any time. I go to school Monday and Wednesdays and work Thursdays-Sundays and it really sucks but I cant just not work because I need the money to support myself. I basically only have Tuesdays open and most of the time I just want to sleep all day and lay around. Like today im still in bed and its already going to be 3 in the afternoon. I don't want to do anything but theres so much to be done.
You can talk to a therapist or your go, whomever you will feel most comfortable with. Both should be able to diagnose your problem and prescribed the correct medication. The best thing to do is just talk about how you feel as openly as possible. Explain that you feel this way and you know that you have a problem because you feel sad all the time.
