Effortless thanks for your reply. What you said actually makes a lot of sense.
Yes there are plently of reasons for my depression. Primarily my life isn't going in the direction I planned. I did the wrong a levels and than didn't get onto the course I wanted to do at university.
I tried twice for a place and than became worried because friends were on their second years of degrees and I hadn't even started mine. I became very worried about my sister when she started experimenting with drugs.
Now I seem to have lost all confidence in my ability and my life has no direction. I find myself worrying about everything and have panic attacks when I go out. Apparently anxiety is common with depression but i'm worrried that things will never go back to normal. I'm not sure if I should continue aiming so high. I guess my inability to be normal and do normal things is really worrying me. When the doctor offered me a pill that would solve all my problems I was tempted, I know its a short term solution but I've felt awful for months.
