I think I may have depression but I'd like to get a little feedback before I take the time to see a doctor about it. Basically, since I was a really young man, maybe since 12-13, I have been unhappy but had no reason to be unhappy. Since that age up to now I, occasionally, feel like just giving up. It's the type of sadness that is bigger then just the blues. It's paralyzing. Since that young age to now I've had a constant sad feeling but occassionally, maybe two times a year, I have really bad episodes of sadness. It's so bad I don't want to get out of bed. I barely talk to people if I talk at all. At those times I just don't see the point I'm so upset nothing seems woth dealing with. Usually I could work around my sadness and pretend like nothing was wrong but not during these intense episodes. It feels like I can barely breath at these times.

So, should I see a doctor?
