does this sound like depression?

Don't try to not break down, be honest with your doc and just let whatever happens happen

every time i go to my doctor i break down....its normal and natural!. they are used to it....and you would not be going through what you are if you didnt. i have een seeing a counselor and cry all the time!. like the other person said.....tell the doctor everything you feel...just like you have written....or write it down to take with you. i get the feeling of helplessness....and that you just want to shut it all out and stop it. crying is worst for me...anything can set me off. it is all a vicious circle. but the good thing is you can feel better....and all this can stop. whether with tablets or counselling or both. trouble is without getting some help if will just carry on....one thing i have learnt the hard way is that i cant 'get better' on my own and i now have accepted help....but that all started with seeing the doctor. depression and anxiety are so interlinked. breaking down in front of the doctor IS normal. good luck. x

Totally agree with responses Weeasy, and yes it does sound like your anxiety has brought about depression with those depressive thoughts.

Im suffering at the moment with both and I cry most days sometimes just for a few moments other times I can be sobbing on and off all day.

some things to bear in mind.

If you've no apatite try eating little and often, half a banana or a sandwich is better than nothing.

Avoid alcohol and too much caffeine

Do go seek help from your GP and don't hold any tears back, you don't have to say much as the Dr will know exactly what your saying when you start, but if your unsure how to start you may want to just say "I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety and I'm finding it very difficult to deal with it and I'm having thoughts Id be better off not here so I thought I'd better come and see you about it",, your GP will then take the lead and take it from there, if you feel like crying or can't hold it back then don't hold it back let it out.

You are a precious person and the person saying you'd be better off not here is not the person you normally are, it's your anxiety speaking.

You will recover even if you did nothing so by going to your GP you will be quickening up the recovery process and getting the help you need.

Hope all goes well with your Dr And I think you will find your on the mend soon.

It doesn't matter of you break down while talking to your doctor. He is your doctor and his job is to try and make you better. You should not be ashamed of talking to him. 

Hi Weeasy. Please don't worry about breaking down in front of your doctor. Sometimes I think they need to see how bad we are feeling to understand what help we need. Don't be embarrassed. Doctors see all sorts every day. And the more honest you are, the better. It does sound like you may be depressed. Anxiety and depression often go hand in hand. Or sometimes we just get a bit run down from feeling anxious all the time. Either way. Don't listen to that negative voice that makes you feel like ending it all. You are not yourself when you're anxious and even though the thoughts feel real. They are not. It's a bit like when someone gets angry when they are drunk. They think they are right but in the morning they regret it and know it was just the drink and not really them. I hope that makes sense. Be kind to yourself. Find ways to relax and tell your doctor exactly how you feel. This will pass and you will feel well again. Good luck and try to have an enjoyable Xmas. Xx

Personally...from someone who has had clinical depression for 30 years, you sound like you have severe anxiety disorder.
