I...dont know what my prblem is..

OK Hey everyone.
I am new here.My name is Nabil and Im about to turn 19 in July.
For the past 3 years,I have been going through depression on/off season.At times I am so lost,these thoughts overwhelm and I have to difficultly find a mechanism to stop them.Its like I am fighting with my own mind.
On the otherhand,after this phase of fighting-I am relaxed and I feel like I have finally gottern control of my problem and everything if fine.I am becoming stronger day by day but the problem eventually comes back and is still in the back of my head.

I just want to know whether other people face this phase of uncontrolled thoughts or not?Or am I alone in this

In my next post,I will tell you THE REAL STORY behind this ' problem ' as to why it occured and how it occured...how to affected my life in coming years.

hi Nabil, welcome to PC!

You're definitely not alone in having those phases. I went through a lot of them before my full-blown depression hit, and I still go through them occasionally after my meds kicked in. It's good that you try to fight off those thoughts, I know how hard it can be!

((((((((((((((((((Nabil)))))))))))))))))) Welcome to PC. I am really sorry you are hurting so much. I think you will find that many people will understand what you are feeling and provide support to you. It is so easy for depression to overtake you.

Thank u guys so much.
BTW,Can I seek professional help here?I mean,are there only depressed people here or helpful professional psychologists as well?

Hi Nabil,

Welcome to PC. I'll try to answer your question as best I can.

The Psych Central forums are all peer support forums. In other words, you get feedback/support/suggestions from your peers, not from psychotherapists.

Psych Central does have a section called "Ask the Therapist" where you can post questions to therapists and hopefully you will get an answer, but it may not be right away. If you go to this link (our home page) and scroll down a bit you will see the link to "Ask the Therapist"

Again, our forums in no way constitute professional therapy, it is strictly peer driven. No one here can diagnose you either. You would have to see a professional in person to get a diagnosis. The great thing about PC is you find folks who have gone through the same issues as you possibly and can help with ideas on how they managed those issues, what worked, what didn't work etc etc.

I hope that helps answer your question!

Take good care.
