After talking to my GP

After years of denying that I may have depression, I finally talked to my GP about it.
I felt very uncomfortable about talking about this subject, but I pushed myself to talk about it, as I had put it off for far too long. I was asked the usual questions and was asked to fill in the short questionnaire etc.
I was asked what I wanted to do, I said that I didn't want to take medication, but I'd rather talk to someone instead. On top of this I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, a form of discoid lupus etc that has added to my depression for around four years (and been struggling to get on top of my health issues).
I've been finding myself becoming more depressed (to the point I do not want to get out of bed in the morning or never waking up), never feeling happy and not feeling comfortable even with my close firends. I hardly talk when I am at home or when I'm out. Having social anxiety too doesn't help either.

The first step to healing is to stop denying the truth, and I'm glad you finally opened up to someone about it.

I'm glad too, but I didn't tell my GP everything, Which I think I should have. Now just waiting on seeing a psychiatrist.

I also suffer depression and it's best to talk to someone about it, as difficult as that can be. I hope you get better!
