I'm going to see my doctor next week for a few things including my depression. I've been super pessimistic and depressed and its really starting to cause problems with my friends and family. How should I bring it up without sounding like and idiot and making things awkward.
Just straight up tell him you feel depressed. Explain how you are when you're depressed.. like you want to stay in bed, cry, etc. He's your doctor, he's not going to think you're an idiot Depression is pretty common now a days I think.. especially with people around our ages. I've been depressed since I was about 14, and it was weird talking about it to my doctor at first, but he is the one person that can really help you with it.
