How do I know if I am suffering from depression or if it is just a funk I am going through?
I have been told that I suffer from several disorders, depression being one of them, from someone I trust. I don't know how I would know. She suffers from depression and is also bi-polar. I just want to know if going to see a therapist or psychologist is what I need. I don't want to waste someones time. |

check this out if you are curious:
Psychological Tests and Quizzes My advice is that if you don't want to see a professional right now, maybe find someone you trust, someone who doesn't know you, and talk with them about the possibility. Like a local nurse or doctor, and maybe print out a couple 'tests' that you can do and discuss your answers with them. Then again, I don't know your situation so take some warning with my response... |

I have to see a specialist. I need help. I have my close friends that I can talk to, but I need answers, sometimes having someone listen is just not enough. After all of the reading I have done in the last few days, I have few issues that I need to get help with.
I have taken the tests on this site, also on other sites and they all say very similar things. I am depressed, with borderline BPD and moderate BPD, OCD, and codependant (which I really don't like). I don't like taking medications or drugs of any kind, so this is going to be a trip lol. Right now I don't feel anything, I'm not happy, sad, depressed, manic, nothing. It's like no emotion. I need help, it has taken me a long time to even admit it, I don't want to put it off any longer and convince myself that I will be fine. I won't, I know I won't. There are dark thoughts, and they scare me. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
