well, I've been thinking about this for a while and have realised that for th past 4/5 months i have not been myself and in the last 2 weeks it has got a bit more serious. I always used to be very optimistic, but now i never smile, I'm never happy and i can't even make a joke, something i always used to do. But over the past 2 weeks, things got worse, i started crying for no apparent reason and i find it impossible to socialise and my self esteem is dropping by the second. I decided to look up some of the symptoms, more hoping that i wouldn't be depressed and that i was just being getting paranoid, but many of the symptoms i have, here are list of the ones i have
sadness
irritability/anger/hostility
tearful/frequent crying
withdrawal from friends and family
restlessness
feeling worthlessness
lack of enthusiasm and motivation
lack of energy
angry
difficulty concentrating
thoughts of death (NOT SUICIDE)
Headaches for no apparent reason
self-injury
extremely sensitive to rejection/criticism
i never used to be any of these thing and I'm not trying to self diagnose, i just want to know whats wrong with me.
if i am, how do i ask for help? my mum would never listen but the school phycology teacher is my head of year, do you think i should go to her,?I'm really nervous of making a fool of myself if I'm not, but there is definitely something wrong with me
