nothing interests me, everything feels pointless, feel hopeless

Hi there,

It could be depression but there might also be something physical causing those symptoms. It's a good idea to go get checked. There are treatments for anxiety and depression that could help you break free of this.
Blame it on me, but know that I won't regret one iota.

Hello there, while you do seem to have many symptoms of Major depressive disorder, there also seems to be some Anxiety disorder symptoms that you also mentioned (Fast heart beat, worrying-racing excessive thoughts, pains you have in your body). While this was a great first step posting here, best thing to do would be to see your Doctor to rule out any physical health issues AND also a Mental health professional (Counselor, Social Worker, Psychologist OR Psychiatrist) to have an evaluation.
Good luck with everything!

I agree this was a good first step. I don't think you would be looking for and writing on this forum if you weren't ready to start getting help. I am just going to repeat the same things.

You could have major depression and it's not uncommon for a person to also have anxiety with it.

The human body is an amazing thing, it will react in different ways alerting you that something is not quite right. You need to listen to your heart, mind and body and act upon the alarms they are sending you.

Make the appointment to see your doctor. Explain to him/her what has been happening. His experience will be able to send you to the appropriate professionals you may need.

There are so many different treatments options these days.

Good Luck, make the call
