Do I have depression?
feeling restless all the time
- can’t concentrate; always on my phone, scrolling
-falling asleep on my sofa every single night (it’s worth noting that I have autoimmune illness and I am on the lowest medication for)
- feeling like the world is going to come to an end if something trivial happens - I keep having this weird problem that i am going to bankrupt and end up starving on the street without my family there to help
- Feeling completely isolated from everyone
- isolating myself from family and friends - preferring to watch tv at home. Because of low energy.
- Worrying about the death of my parents, loved ones
- Having no energy for work - always looking to skive off and do the minimal, but even that I work really hard when I can, and my colleagues do praise me and think I am great despite having a tenuous relationship with my manager
- worrying about middle age and hitting middle age even though I’m aged 34.
- getting myself into random fights with people– including falling out my family members
- can’t concentrate; always on my phone, scrolling

Speak with your GP - they would be your first point of contact in terms of a diagnosis and then potential options for treating/managing it anyway, and they might also be able to advise on the interactions with your autoimmune condition and medication for that (it might be a side effect of one or the other, and if not it might be a consideration in exactly how a diagnosis of depression might be tackled).
It may not necessarily be depression, but if it is then your GP is the first stop to taking action with that
