Am i depressed??

hey im new here just a few questions. I've been on and off with my boyfriend for about a year, i keep breaking up with him and getting back together but i think its a massive mistake once i do it. I do love him an di wanna be with him but i dunno why i keep doing this.
I've also been really emotional lately and i feel like i just cant get enough sleep im just constantly tired and sleeping during the day, its starting to effect my life because im not getting college work done or studying for my exams or anything??

i dont wanna go seek help as im embarassed so just thought id stop by these forums and talk to someone.

thanks i suppose youre right its just im afraid that my doctor will think im putting it on or whatever. Im from ireland where depression isnt really seen as an illness i always think??maybe im wrong but i think the old fashioned irish catholic girl in me thinks that haha i will make an appointment this week after college and keep you guys up to date!!thanks for being so nice!!

Hi,

I hope you are well today Try not to let what others may think get the better of you. You are who is important and if you are concerned about your health, definitely go see your doc.  Hopefully he/she can figure out what's going on for sure and that way you can start to cope.  It does sound like signs of depression, but you need to be diagnosed to know for sure.

Take care & welcome to HW!
