Pills are an easy answer for the short-term, but it's also beneficial to focus on what the issues really are - like the not sleeping, feels of helplessness and hopelessness. There are many reasons I'm sure for why you are feeling the way you are, you probably just haven't found a way to really express them.
I suggest getting on meds if you feel it's right for you. Sometimes taking them can make you see yourself a little more clearly, and help you understand what's going on with your head. If you don't want to take medication, then try therapy. It could help you... |

Having helplessness and hoplessness definitely goes with depression. Maybe you are worried about the label of depression? I agree that a therapist along with meds is the best way to go. I need to do that myself...I've been on meds but don't have a therapist yet.

You might as well try the pills. If it helps, you will have a chance to live a better life.
