Considering going to see someone
« on: September 05, 2010, 05:36:52 PM »
I tend to keep to myself in general. I have no problem being open with friends, and there's a couple of friends that pretty much always know what's going in my life, but I don't really make it obvious how I'm feeling, especially when I'm feeling down.
I've had a lot of stuff going on lately. Work has been stressing me out to no end, found out a couple of months ago that I have high blood pressure so I've been trying to manage that so I don't have to go on meds for it (the stress of work sure isn't helping that), in terms of my relationship with this girl I'm just so damn confused and it hurts just not knowing, and my Nan passed away on Monday so my family has all gone over to England.
Over the past month or two I've just been going up and down, having stupid mood swings. I might feel good for most of a day, and then just start feeling depressed and having overly negative thoughts about absolutely everything, assuming the worst, and just not wanting to be bothered with simple tasks.
I suppose I'm just unsure as to whether this warrants a trip to the doctors to see if there's anything there. I know if I managed to sort this stuff out then I'd be fine, but I'm sure I'm not supposed to feel as bad as I do when I have my lows, and they happen pretty much every day, it just seems stupid. I guess if the doctor suggests a mild anti-depressant or something, it might be worth it if it helps.

Talking to someone about everything always helps a lot. It might be worth going to see a professional to vent everything out hear there perspective on it.

all the best with it!

I can only give the advice I know of and worked for me. Best thing to do is find a friend or loved one that you can talk to and express everything you can. If that doesn't help, then I would suggest to going to see a therapist. Most people I know have had some kind of help like this and it's not that uncommon.
