# You feel miserable and sad.
# You feel exhausted a lot of the time with no energy .
# You feel as if even the smallest tasks are sometimes impossible.
# You seldom enjoy the things that you used to enjoy-you may be off sex or food
# You feel very anxious sometimes.
# You don't want to see people
# You find it difficult to think clearly.
# You feel like a failure and/or feel guilty a lot of the time.
# You feel a burden to others.
# You sometimes feel that life isn't worth living.
# You can see no future. There is a loss of hope. You feel all you've ever done is make mistakes and that's all that you ever will do.
# You feel irritable or angry more than usual.
# You feel you have no confidence.

Anti-depressants are best used temporarily and you need a prescription and treatment plan before taking them. I'd suggest that you go to see a psychologist or mental health professional who you can TALK TO. These specialists understand a lot about emotions and moods and can help you identify what steps to take next.
