text: am i depressed? i found out a while ago that i wasnt allowed to return back to my home overseas. ever since then i have been agruing with my freinds all the time, and been angry or sad all the time and im just not happy, am i depressed or just unhappy? you dont need a doctor..all a doctor is going to do is give you medication and way to may people are on medication that dont need to be. i know because my doctor tried to do the same thing to me and i dont need medication. your depression sounds situational..in fact the reason you are depressed is because you cannot go home. you really want to go home so your frusterated that your not getting what you want. all you can do is be patient and accepting of the situation you are in now and make the most of it..try and be kind to your friends, and speak to those who may have similar experiences to yours. if worse comes to worse speak to a councellor, but dont run off to the doctor and get meds unless you feel like killing yourself etc. im sure once you come to terms with not getting what you want youll feel a bit happier again.,
