Your making the right step in confronting it hun
get yaself along to your doctor and they will ask you some questions, and if the same as mine will give you a questionnaire which will ask questions about how you do and have felt etc it is these answers that will help the doctor to decide on the best way to go forward with you. Whether it be through medication or councelling or both!
As i say tho...you are doing the best thing for yourself by admitting the way you feel and wanting to do something about it! Depression is not a nice thing to deal with and i have suffered with it from around the age of 12 .. so i know what your going through and how your feeling! Do the best for yourself and see your doctor, they will help you!
