Default Depression
 
I was just wondering if it was possible to be depressed without having suicidal thoughts?
Maybe a stupid question idk.

Yes, of course. Suicidal tendencies are just one symptom of clinical depression.

Edit: List of symptoms from the NHS website (which probably isn't exhaustive, by the way).

Sorry.

But yes, you really should make an appointment. If you want to PM me for the sake of chatting to someone who knows what it feels like, please feel free (it's almost ten years since I was first diagnosed). Otherwise, best of luck with your appointment.

^ Hence why I don't really agree with reading up on symptoms on the internet, it's all to easy to think you have them and in turn make yourself worse
If you're worried, go to the doctors as soon as you can, they can tell you a lot more.
