I have debating this for awhile now: should I go get help from a doctor or a therapist for my depression?
I have been experiencing it for the last 3 years. My parents told me I've shown symptoms since I was about 8 (I'm 20 now) but I guess I never linked the two together until I got older.

The first time I think I hit rock bottom was in the middle of grade 12 during a fight with my best friend of 7 years. Our friendship ended and the rest of the school year (about 6 months) was absolute hell. She was texting me calling me names, tearing me down and making my life terrible because she got all of our friends at school to do the same. I couldn't go to school for many days because I would just lie in my bed crying. There was rumors going around about me and people always talking behinds back. I started pushing all of my friends I still had away and I isolated myself. I had been pushed to my limit and I wanted to die. I didn't want to live my life one more minute. Luckily a friend helped me and made me realize that my life is more valuable than to end it over a stupid girl and words.
We eventually mended things 10 months later so I didn't think I was experiencing depression anymore. Then in the past 2 years, I've been having financial problems and I'm in a lot of debt. I've also had issues finding jobs because I've moved to another city and back a few times for university.
My latest issues that make me feel my lowest is over money and a job. I breakdown about twice a week at night and I just cry because I start thinking about how I don't have a job and I'm behind in bills, and how my credits getting ruined and how that's effecting my future. It all makes me feel hopeless, worthless and like I have no future. I also feel like the only way out if this hole is to end my life because I'm trying so hard to get a better job but I haven't gotten any calls. My boyfriend just got this amazing job and everyone keeps talking to him about it right in front of me. That triggers me because it makes me feel worse about myself and then I break down.
I also get irritable and angry easily and if someone criticizes me even a little I blow it out of proportion and I end up crying and thinking about all my problems and wanting to die. I also self harm sometimes. It's not something I always do. I've done it twice in the past year.

The reason I'm debating going and getting help is that maybe my depression is just from not having a job and being financially stable. When I do get a job will I be magically cured and be happy again? If so, then going to a doctor/therapist will be pointless because they can't help me get a job.

Does this make sense?
