Here's my story:
I am a 19 year old male. Ever since i was 16 i have had what the doctor has told me is depression. One minute i can be perfectly fine, living my life like normal, working, going out etc... then suddenly i feel like i do now. It just hits me randomly and i dont know why.
When i get like this it usually last about 2/3 weeks and then goes again, but i have got used to the fact that it will always keep coming back. When i have it, it makes me feel really tired all the time. This weekend i slept nearly all day saturday and sunday but when i woke up i was still tired!
I made myself go into work monday but when i was there i felt really self concious like people were looking at me more than usual and had to keep checking myself. I also found it very hard to concentrate and focus. I work with computers and usually do alot of things at once, being on the phone and using the computer but on monday i couldnt seem to do even the simplest of tasks or make the easiest of decissions. I dont seem to like company other than my immediate family when i am like this and tend not to go out at all.
I have been on fluoexetine anti - depressants but i dont think these work. I have had a spell off it before which cleared up with no-medication, but on another occasion i was put on the pills and it got better so the doctor thinks aww yeah these work and keeps putting me on them. But i am on them now! And have been for the last 3 months and have started feeling like it again this weekend!!?!
Im going back 2moro but doubt they will help me anymore.
Have i got depression? If not, what is wrong with me? I have been signed off work and will lose my job and friends if i dont get fixed
Thank you.
