Hi Ektas,

Welcome to the community. What makes you think you have depression? What are your symptoms and what has happened recently in your life?

Have you talked to your Doctor about this? That is always the first thing I suggest.

I think your first move should be to see a Doctor. On this site there are a lot of medical professionals and then there are people like me who suffer from depression. We are here to support you, but we can't make diagnoses or suggest medications.

I'm sorry that you feel alone and that you struggle to deal with people. I know what that feels like, as I bet a lot of others here do, and I know how horrible it is to feel uncomfortable when out and about.

You will never be alone on here. Could you tell us all a bit more about yourself so we can get to know you better and try and help more? I noticed that you posted on another forum for those in India. I live in the UK.

Hi how long have you been depressed for? It also sounds like you have social anxiety as well. Google online depression/anxiety tests and they will give you a guide. The only way to get medical help I to see your doctor. I know this can be difficult so is there someone you can take with you? Or maybe you could write down how you are feeling and just give it to the doctor.

Doctors see a lot of mental health problems so don't be embarrassed to go please. x

Hello Ektas! Please make an appointment with your GP & talk about how you are feeling. Also confined in family because you will need their support. I have both depression & anxiety. I felt stupid & ashamed to talk about my anxiety with my family. Which made me even more depressed. Once I told them about it it was a huge weight lifted. So please go see your Dr & get help asap.
