Depression, Lack Of Concentration, Feeling Lost And Lonely. Advise?
For years I have been hiding what I now come to try to execpt might be depressions. I see no way out. But I am scared to see a doctor because if you look at my live its not really what i would expect a person with depression to have. I have a lot of friends and am in a relation but i fell lost and lonely. I have a good education and a very good job, but I fell like a loser in everything I do. I get things done but I feel like I can't concentrate. I have had so many bad experience with doctors with other sickness. Despite it turning out that I was sick, the kept telling me that I am imagining the symptoms and don't take it serious without knowing what they are causing with this. I am not able to talk about this in person to someone because I have been keeping up the show for too long and can't stop if I am around people.
