Depression?
Hey guys, for about four months now, I've been suffering from (in my opinion) severe depression. I'm completely out of it, I'm not interested in any of this shit anymore, and I find myself drinking quite often, which always takes me away from the action so I can just switch off. I'm even having suicidal thoughts these days.
Most people are now thinking, “Tell your friends or family.” Yes, I have already told my friends and also what is bothering me and how I am doing, but I have been saying for the past two weeks that I am feeling well again, even though the opposite is true, because I don’t want to burden them with it and I want to avoid them getting depressed themselves.
It's not really a question, so I'd like to hear your opinion on what I should do.
No one in my family knows, only two of my friends.
thanks to everyone who answers and reads this 🍀

I think it’s important that you understand that it’s just a stupid phase and that it’ll be over at some point. You weren’t always depressed, so consider it a disease that needs to be treated and is over at some point.
I have also had such thoughts for the more open and helped me to accept the world as it is and to accept my negative experiences as destiny.
“Jo people, since approx. 4 months I have a severe depression. ‘
Depression is a partially severe mental illness and not a bad phase or what the same. You can’t diagnose yourself with depression as much as you can’t diagnose yourself with cancer. I personally find something very disrespectful to the people who actually suffer from this disease.
You can’t even judge if you’re heavy Depression. If you had a severe depression, you’d be accommodated in a clinic. Of course, with a severe depression, you cannot go to school or to work. Generally, with a severe depression no longer works much in life. In this state you need help.
If you had a severe depression, you would know because you would need a medical report and would have been with the doctor alone. Also, regardless of the medical report, you would have been looking for professional help, as it is so bad for a severe depression that you are no longer able to cope with. In most cases, you are already looking for medical help with a slight depression.
I don’t want to talk about your problems and your suicide thoughts. Don’t get me wrong. But please did not claim that you have a severe depression as long as there is no expert diagnosis. Such statements give the impression that a severe depression cannot be so bad if you can still celebrate and baptize with it.
‘Most now think “Sag’s to your friends or family”
I don’t think that friends and family are enough to assess your condition so extremely badly that you understand being ill with a severe depression. Therefore, you should contact your family doctor, a psychiatrist or psychotherapist. There it can be explained whether you are mentally ill and if so, what disease or disorder is present with you.
If it is actually a depression, you should definitely go to expert treatment. Because depression is a serious illness and not a bad phase.
Here is explained what a depression is:

Even without depression, you can contact your doctor at any time, a school psychologist and local counselling. There are also some help offers online.

Thank you for your answer.
I find it a bit disrespectful that you talk like that if you have no idea what is going on in someone and if I tell myself that I am mentally and physically in the end, no doctor can have the opposite.
If it were so easy I would do it but after that is not I will do it alone
How do you know who has any idea or not whether someone is affected by this disease depression or not?
I actually have no idea what’s going on in you. However, I only take your problems and have called you several points where you can get help. Please take the help if you don’t know about yourself.
I thought I could tell you in my text that it can also be very bad without it being a severe depression and above all that you can’t diagnose yourself. There are many reasons for feeling physically and mentally ill. The least of them fulfill the diagnostic criteria of a severe depression according to ICD. Nevertheless, you should let yourself be examined and help. Maybe you have a depression, maybe you’re bad for other reasons. No one can judge this and is not decisive either. It is important that you seek professional help.
Your opinion that you are supposed to have been ill with mental illness, counts and doesn’t care.
You are certainly healthy until a specialist (psychiater) and/or therapist has given you a diagnosis after appropriate examination, at best you have a guess!
Your symptoms have absolutely nothing to do with this disease, at best with alcohol addiction and debility.
Explore this disease and don’t write such a nonsens.
You may suffer from depression, I’m not a doctor and I’m not taking the right to judge. Although, in principle, one can never give such a serious diagnosis itself. I myself suffer from a Borderline personality disorder, which has been diagnosed with depression. You talk to me about a moderate depression, but in life I can do as well as nothing more than little things.
(I am not really more than working on the nose in social life)
With me there is even a acute psychotic episode which, without medication, exposes in an acute panic, mistrust, paranoia both hallucinations.
All this is not self-diagnosis and without medication, I would probably be just in bed, would stick the ceiling or just vegetate me.
I’m consciously still in a harmless way to make you realize what I’m talking about.
You see that you need help and yet you don’t feel like asking others for help. You should be aware at the latest that you obviously can’t find help alone. Believe me to be involved in the environment than they think in retrospect, you do not trust them enough to ask for help.
Talk about the experiences in my environment and they did not understand why I had rather mutilated myself to open.
Hello DRDaviid👋🏻
So you don’t have to save your friends, man is responsible for himself, and at the moment you should be less important to be a knight and save others from your abyss, but to save yourself and stop lying to others and you. Are you serious, your masquerade is buying you? You’re just maneuvering in, believe me I had depression, and I had a friend who acted like you, shame and not wanting to fall to the burden, just made sure he pulled back, which only strengthens depression.
You need help, professional way, you don’t get out of it. So turn to a doctor and describe your problem, do not go to your hometown in stationary treatment, but a little further way to get away.
