Depression, headache
I am a Ph.D. student, and I think I am depressed. I cry a lot. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. I go from sudden burst of energy to lethargy in no time. No matter how hard I try, I can't remember the last time I was happy. I have put on a lot of weight, even though I do not eat much. Sometimes, I feel like everything will be ok if I die. Dying will make things better. How, I don't know. I think I need help but I don't have anyone I can talk to about this. My parents will just worry and tell me to be happy, but I just can't. I try to be better, more positive, but it doesn't work. I have lost interest in everything I used to like. What should I do?
