Hi guys,

I have been feeling what I think is depression (I say think because I haven’t been diagnosed and aren’t quite sure what I’m feeling) for quite a few years now. I become almost a different person and I am not very nice to the people I love. I’m not violent or rude but I can become passive aggressive and grumpy and it makes me feel awful because they don’t know.

I dont know why I am feeling this way and I am seared to go talk to someone because I have no explanation for why I am feeling this way. I have tried to talk to my family time and time again but words never come out when I go to tell them. They are super amazing and would be super helpful but I don’t know what it is that prevents me from telling them.

As I mentioned I have no idea why I am feeling this way and struggle to even explain to myself how I am feeling or what I felt when I come out of one of my states.

Just wondering if anyone else has felt confused in the sense they are scared to talk to someone because they can’t explain or say what is wrong even though something clearly is

Thanks heaps in advance

hi Corey, welcome to the site, and can I ask you to do a couple of tests, one is the K-10 test, it's to see if you have depression and to what degree, and I say this because anxiety comes under the label of depression, and the two of these go together, so if you have one then the other one will be right behind you.
The other test is to google 'ocd test online australia', because from what you have told us I believe that you may have 'intrusive thoughts', although I'm not qualified to say, however I've had OCD for 58 years, do these tests a few times, but not straight after another.
This will give you an indiction and please get back to us. Geoff.

hi Coreyb, don't worry if any of these tests prove positive, because that's where your help will begin, so don't be afraid to let us know. Geoff.
