But you know with everything that's gone on for you...........I'd say it's understandable that you're finding things hard.
Some stress/pressure on yourself in achieving the degree, your bereavements, thinking (or not thinking??) about the future now you have your degree............
Obviously we can't diagnose but maybe a mix of everything going on........??? And maybe you're right to be thinking depression and anxiety because they can sometimes be closely linked together.............and with everything you've gone through.
Do you feel like you could talk to your doctor about what's going on for you?? Then hopefully they could support you on the route to take e.g. referral to a pdoc, or counseling??
And you know we're here to offer you support too.

I am trying to understand why am I feeling this way. I am not going to lie about being scared of having a depression or anxiety. One of my uncles has it and he struggles on a daily basis. I don't want to get to that point. That would make matters worse for my family and I.
I tried contacting a counselor last Friday so hoping she can guide me in the right direction.
