I'm worried my mental illness might be more than 'just' depression, but I'm also worried that maybe I'm just borrowing trouble and seeing symptoms where there aren't any, much like Web M.D. might convince someone they have cancer.

Oh just call yourself self-diagnosed aspergers and have done with.

I'm actually firmly against self-diagnosing and am not at all worried about symptoms that typically fall on the autistic spectrum, but thanks for playing.

Go fuck yourself.

There's a huge difference between self diagnosis and "I think this might be more than just depression."

Thank you. I'm not gonna lie, that comment rattled me a bit. I've been struggling to remind myself that it's okay to be concerned.

I worry about that too. There are things I haven't brought up to my psychiatrist because I worry both that I might be imagining things and that the more problems I claim the have the harder it becomes for people to believe me (I have issues with paranoid fears that people think I'm lying all the time and the attitudes toward mental illness don't help).

Though even depression isn't always "just depression". There are some weird symptoms that can go along with it. I'm lucky enough to have the kind that comes with a side of psychosis.

I have a tendency to be a bit melodramatic. The last time I visited a doctor I feel like I played things up, like the symptoms I was discussing were there, but I was making them seem worse than they were. It makes me hesitate to say 'Oh, I'm feeling X' because maybe I'm not. Maybe I just THINK I'm feeling X because I read about X somewhere. And I definitely can sympathize with the paranoia. I'm so nervous about seeming like a complete basket case, or someone who's just desperate for attention.

Those kind of paranoid fears are pretty common with depression. Depression works as a chemical imbalance and a set of thinking patterns. "I'm not good enough." "They won't believe me." etc. Talk to your doctor about it.

Same, and the fact that now apparently my short-term memory is screwed isn't helping. Not remembering entire conversations does make you feel a bit nuts.

I'm sorry you're having memory problems! I hope things are okay.

I'm having some physical stuff checked out, and frankly I'm hoping they'll find something.

Fingers crossed! Hopefully it's something that can be managed or treated.
