I'm scared of getting official depression diagnose (tw: talk about suicide)

[(Anonymous)]

I have decided to get an official diagnose for depression, sometime this week. I didn't want to but it has been getting worse. I don't have motivation to do anything, I failed so many courses, I'm getting more and more tired and seriously thinking about suicide. What stop me from doing so is my fear of pain and effect on others. So I have decided to at least get an official diagnose. Even if I can't afford therapy and medication I can still know there is a reason I'm like this. But I'm so scared. I have no money for treatment and I may be known as a crazy person my whole life, and who to say I can recover. Let's not even talk about the possiblity that's it all in my head and I'm just a lazy horrible person.

I have depression. Being diagnosed with it and the accompanying OCD was one of the biggest reliefs I've ever felt in my life. Because at least I knew what was wrong with me and that there was a possibility of it getting better.

Hang in there, anon.

The way you're talking, it is most definitely NOT "all in your head." You're suicidal. That's pretty damn symptomatic of depression, and the entire rest of your post sounds like my thinking when I was depressed.

An official diagnosis is a GOOD thing, OP, because then it means you can start doing something about it, and look to a future where you don't have to feel this way anymore!

The worst thing that can happen if you continue to let your depression go untreated? Suicide. Death. No longer existing. Being an ex-parrot.

Please don't let that happen to yourself, OP. Take care of yourself! There are websites out there, such as 7cupsoftea, that offer therapy or at least someone to chat to, if you don't have the $$ right now. There are also lots of tips out there online from people who are depressed for ways they combat depressive symptoms.

Look up cognitive behavioural therapy for depression, as well. No doubt there are online thought journals, apps and the like, which can offer that function.

LOADS of people have depression, it doesn't define you as a "crazy person."

I have it. Officially diagnosed last year. Trust me, it's not all in your head (being afraid you're making it up as an excuse to be lazy/horrible is part of the disorder), and having a doctor tell you exactly what's wrong is a relief.

Depending on where you live, there may be resources available for people who can't pay. What country and state/province are you in?

Yes to everything the other posters have said. Please get a diagnosis (I did and it was a relief), and depending on where you are, you can see if your school will offer any help with referrals or even on-campus therapy. I'm at a small school, but we do offer that service to students free of charge.
Hang in there, Anon. There's nothing wrong with you; your brain is just working against you, and you didn't cause it. And if you know what you're fighting, you'll be better able to defend yourself!
