Thanks for giving this opportunity to write and express my opinion freely.

Yes, you do sound depressed. I think the hallmark of depression for some people is that you just want to hide from the world. And depression is usually brought on, not by one stressor, but by a bunch of things, little or big, that together seem *overwhelming*.

From what you say it sounds like you don't suffer from a lifetime of depression, just a recent episode. If that is the case, look up for there is hope! Depression is the most treatable mental illness on the planet. It takes some time of just taking good care of yourself, doing therapy and/or talking things out, and patience.

If you're not a lifetime MDD, don't go for meds, they just mess you up. (I have nothing against medicine, but too often antidepressants are used as an "antibiotic against the common cold".) Rest, sunshine, multivitamins, and a walk in the park may do you more good than drugs.
