    I feel depressed
    I feel so down and irritated for about the past 3 months. I feel worthless at many points of the day. In the morning I can't get out of bed hardly. Yet at night I cannot fall asleep/ stay asleep. Im getting migraines more severe and more often and my stomach is just a mess. Im constantly having an upset stomach or crampy feeling. Some days I wake up and my entire body hurts. I do have a fiancé who makes me very happy, but at times I feel he doesn't love me. I make little problems bigger and every minor issue irritates me. I cry very often and I just feel so lost. I don't know what's wrong with me.

    There is a difference between being down in the dumps, or blue, as opposed to clinical depression which can only be diagnosed by your Doctor.

    Your first course of action should be to write all your symptoms down, and get in for a checkup. Talk to your doctor, and if he/she prescribes an anti-depressant, take it as prescribed. It sometimes takes more than trying one medication to see any effects, but it is worth the effort.

    I agree it's time to chat to your doctor. The physical symptoms could be a sign of depression or alternatively the physical symptoms and depression taken together could be the sign of some other illness.
