    Hello everyone,i not really sure how this goes but ill give it my best...im currently in my early adult years and find that life is a chore.I have a great respectable job that i enjoy doing,its the only thing that keeps me going,but i find that i dont get on with my work friends as i would like to. my sense of humour is much different and i get serious about my job.they hate the sight of me,i overheard talking about me so many times but i never let on.my job is very specialised and i wanted to do it since i was a kid.but it requires me to live away from home from my few friends and family,ive been living away now for the last 2 years and had a girlfriend at the time which i looked forward to seeing at the weekends but we split up and i dont want to start another relationship again.(i tried hard to keep things straight but it never worked,i didnt like her attiude to life or what she was abusing,i tried to help her but i believe just did what she wanted.she would never do anything illegal in front of me,then a trusted friend got in touch with me saying she was on porn sites on the web and possibly cheating.i could go into so much detail but id rather not.after the split up a lot of rumours have been made up and now noone talks to me.basically ive lost a lot of trust for people/women espically)i suffer and have suffered depression a lot and it getting worse.i get suicidal thoughts every now and again,but i keep thinking theres a reason to live.i left school due to plummeting into depression,and mental reasons.At school i kept to myself and never arose to any bullies.i got bullied for 6 years and the memerioes are still there.my school psych suggested i take anti-deppressents but my father said no because of the side effects.i now spent my life working all the time because its the only thing keeping me going.my job have mental health checks which if i need a psych and take anti-d's i probably lose.i thought about leaving my job but ill have no money, jobs are hard to find now and ill never probably be able to do what im doing now again and get the same money.i spend my evenings after work alone and miserable.i did an online test for mental problems,here were my results.

    yep.

    dont rely on the internet for diagnosis of any illness, mental or physical.

    talk to a qualified doctor. there are other treatments besides anti-depressants out there

    Internet tests are worth the paper they are printed on.

    Go to your GP.
    my job have mental health checks which if i need a psych and take anti-d's i probably lose

    What sort of job actively punishes people for actively trying to seek treatment for a potential problem? I'd check the legality of what they are doing if thats the case.

    Internet tests are not worth the paper they are written on.
    Go talk to your dr there are other treatment options then anti depressants.
