Not sure I have depression

[Nothelpless]

Hi everyone,

I just joined. I have had chronic sinusitis, but when I explain my symptoms to doctors, they look me sideways finally, a doctor said you have mood issues and referred my for counseling. I didn't believe him because my symptoms we're physical. No sadness. Since then a few other doctors have said the same thing

My symptoms are pressure in the head, bad motor skills, can't write properly, slow speech, difficulty driving. Can't focus on anything, and get confused easily. I'm a teacher and I make a million silly mistakes while teaching I have accidentally thrown money in trash. My house is never clean because I'm not motivated to do anything. Brain and sinus scans show tumors

My sinus thing is chronic, I use pseudoephedrine and antihistamine all the time. My breath stinks as side effect, and I feel horrible. I don't know if 8 years of people covering their noses everytime I open my mouth led to depression. I'm isolated all the time. Helpless and hopeless all the time

Hi there, your post seems to match your username haha. My opinion is that perhaps your illness has affected your mental health. This is not uncommon, since you have no control over this issue and as you explained it has indeed impacted your life for a long eight years. I do think you have depression symptoms such as lack of motivation, and isolation which can be a cause or symptom, as well as difficulty concentrating. These professionals are called professional for a reason. Much luck and love.
