I'm so depressed right now

    Hi everyone,

    I have been feeling really down the last few days and my head is all over the place. I have been experiencing stiffness in my knees the last few months and I think it could be a sign of Rheumatoid Arthritis. My brother suffers from it too. I'm not here looking for medical advice because I know it is not allowed on this forum.

    I am going to the doctor this week but I am not optimistic about the outcome. I am having trouble focusing on college work and I have a few last assignment to be done before the semester ends. I have been spending most of my time researching this disease on the internet. On top of this I have stomach bug, and I have been stuck in the house the last few days.

    I keep thinking to myself, why does this have to happen to me? I'm see myself not having a normal life from this condition. I'm worried about things like having a future partner. Who is going to want me if I have this disease? I can honestly only see one path in my life and it is really dark and depressing.

    I'm so anxious and depressed right now, so worried about how this could change my life. Please help!

    One thing il advise you is dont try self diagnose off the internet i used to have anxiety problems and reading symptoms on the internet made me think i had every disease going
    Trust me when i say things do get better and best of luck in college

    OP,

    You were advised HERE both to seek medical advice but also to seek professional help for the range of issues you had posted about. This thread continues in much the same vein.

    Ongoing issues are out-with the scope of PI posters. There is an excellent thread in the Psychology Forum on how to go about finding a counsellor, therapist or psychologist for yourself HERE.

    All the very best
