Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I suspect I might be suffering from clinical depression. I graduated from school recently (a Ph.D. in life sciences) and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I have been applying for jobs for 4 months but no job offers yet.

My depression started slowly but has picked up to the point where I can't sleep, I am never hungry, can't focus on anything, feel lonely, no self confidence. I have even started to cry privately at first but lately I have broken into tear in front of my family. I think they think I am nuts.

I am angry at myself for getting this down. How could I let this happen? Am I that weak?
