Depression?
Hi guys, I think i'm having a depression. I use the term "think" because I dont really know whats the symptoms of depression. But let me tell you what I feel for the last couple of years until now. I actually out of balance in terms of thinking, what I mean is that i'm full of doubts in all my decisions in life especially in school. Also I can't seem to not to overthink everyday. And when I do that, my head starts to get really hurt and it leads me to cry. I think thats all, hope you guys read this so that you can advice me freely. Thank youuu!

Hi--that makes sense what you're describing that you feel like you're unsure about everything that you're doing, you find yourself struggling with difficult thoughts, and you end up feeling really hurt/upset the longer you think about things.
Here's a link I found that has some tips for coping with depression. A few ideas I got from skimming through it are to write down any thoughts that you're worrying about, try to critically examine them to see if they're actually true/realistic/helpful, and find some activities you're able to redirect to as a distraction/substitution if you find that thinking about things doesn't feel worthwhile.
