Hi niamhh504,
I believe depression is a disease. It is not a character flaw, or something you can just turn off if you have a strong will. Sometimes depression will heal on its own, but often times it will continue for long periods of time. An area in your brain isn't functioning correctly.
I understand it is scary to see a doctor, but having someone you know recommend a good one may help. I think getting a diagnosis would be interesting to you. Getting on the correct medication can help the misery you are feeling.
