Am I Depressed?

❕This test does not replace a diagnosis from a Psychiatrist or a General Practitioner. This test is supposed to tell you if there is a greater reason behind the sadness you experience and if you show other signs of depression.❕
It is meant as a first assessment. If you ask yourself whether you might be depressed, you should definitely take this test to get certainty and gain an idea of the extent as well as what you might be able to do about it.
If you really do show signs of depression, it is worth contacting a psychotherapist.

i cant do it anymore. i self harm and have scars all over my wrists with fresh cuts too. i attempted suicide twice and every day i think about death. when im high up somewhere, i look down and imagine my dead body at the bottom, wishing it was reality. and i have no motivation to do anything. its hard to shower, get changed, go to school, focus. and nobody knows this is going on, bottling it up is getting hard. people are slowly starting to know, and im so desperate for help but i cant muster up the courage to tell anyone what is happening. my teacher is very worried though. she knows i have an eating disorder, and often says shes worried about me because im so depressed. i will probably soon tell her i self harm, just so shes aware and so that i can get it out to someone. i just dont wanna live anymore, life is hard, life is horrible. i hate myself and being alive. i need help that i will never have the strength to get, so ill sit here and be suicidal and depressed until i try to kill myself again and hope that this time it will work.

ty if u read this, and if ur having thoughts like this, or living like i do/having same feelings, please please please go build up some courage and get help at your own pace. its worth it xx 🫶

Something is going on. You probably already know that yourself.
In your answers, you have shown very alarming signs that point to a depression. And it's not just a mild depression, in your case it's clearly advanced and more severe.

Depression is like a demon of negativity, that gets bigger and bigger every time you believe what it tells you. When it gets to big to handle, you decide to end it all to get away from the pain of the demon.
I really don't think I can do this anymore! Life is really just a test and everyone gets a different test, some harder then others. Some people just decide to give up on it.

My half sister moved in this year and a few months ago got kicked about being she was being manipulative and abusive (mostly verbally the worst thing she did was throw a pan at my sister). My mother has been really upset about it (my dad is my half sisters step dad and we have the same mum), and I’ve had really mean friends that I’ve only just left, I’m behind on assignments, and my sister is telling me to do better. We both know I need to but I don’t have the energy. Idk if I miss my half sister she wasn’t mean to me and it’s just so confusing, and then on top of all this my friend took me to a comic con to cheer me up and my guinea pig died while I was gone. This is the worst year ever and I honestly don’t know what to do I’m trying to look into the positive but for gods sake we get 2000 dollars every 2 weeks for my family of 4 and our house is breaking apart. It’s horrible. Anyways, thank you for reading this and actually listening to me, I needed it. And just remember you can always get better don’t hurt yourself, prove those people against you that you can 💝 beat their ass

It says: Something is going on. You probably already know that yourself. In all questions you have shown very alarming signs that point to a depression. And it's not just a mild depression, in your case it's clearly advanced and more severe. Have you sought help yet? If not, please do it soon!

Yes I am seeking professional help, I even have to take medication for my depression & anxiety. The anxiety pills are working great! But my depression pills are not working at all. Iv'e been taking them everyday for about 3 or 4 weeks. (I have taken different medication for my depression in the past, they didn't work either. So I changed my medication.) I don't want to tell anyone that these new pills arn't working. Iv'e had my depression for 4 years, but for like 2 years no one new I was depressed. So i'm kinda used to feeling depressed, but recently Iv'e been feeling numb. Like some days I wake up & feel emotionless, or over the course of the day I start to feel emotionless. it is so weird & confusing.
