This could actually be an illness and they need psychological help.  I have had problems in the past with worrying and it was anxiety that needed treatment.  Stress can hurt a person physically.

You cant help him until he admits he has a problem and wants help. You cant fix him. He needs professional help.

Not wanting to talk about it is also symptomatic of depression.  Yes, you should get some help.  Talking to your doctor is a good starting place.  A good friend or family member would help, too, but sometimes it's easier to talk at first to someone that's not so close in your life.  A counselor or therapist actually is a better way to go than your doctor if you want to see if talking it thru will help before trying meds.  Keep in mind that all people experience depression at some point in their lives.  If you're questioning, then it's probably at or beyond the point where help is what you need.  It's a matter of how bad it is and how long it goes on.  Sometimes meds are necessary no matter how much talk therapy you do, so if you do choose a therapist and your symptoms persist, get medical assistance as well.  Btw, at some point you need to let your g/f in on what's going on with you if for no other reason than communication is essential for a healthy relationship.  Hang in there.  It does get better if you get beyond your reluctance to talk and do seek help.

Go see your doctor and tell them how you are feeling!!Depression can start at any time and can become a lot worse if you don't get treatment for it. Sometimes, therapy helps or sometimes you may have to go on an anti-depressant. More people than you can imagine suffer or have suffered from depression. It is nothing to be ashamed of!

Well done for realising you have a problem, that is the first step in the right direction, and so is asking for help too. I think you should see your doctor who can help you or reffer you to someone else who is trained in dealing with such conditions. You need to think positively, relax, and deep breathe when you think you may hurt someone. Walk away from any situation you fear may lead  you want to hurt someone. Remind your self it is not acceptable to hurt someone and that you are a nice person. Take more control in what you do by being a positive you. Has anything ever happened to you in the past to make you want to hurt someone else?? You need to ask yourself why do I want to hurt that person? Then realise what you are thinking and control it. I know it may sound easy, but it will not be. The more you do not give in the easier it will become over time, but you do need to see your doctor to get advice. Hope all will turn out well.

I did for a long time because I had a huge list of problems for years. You can't ignore what's really wrong, but people start to look at you funny when you keep getting sick and they can't figure out why. Then I finally figured out the core source of my problems, and told everyone to kiss my arse and have been systematically getting better for the last year. If you have many symptoms, look for a bigger source. If you just worry too much about every little sickness, you still need to look for the core problem, but it might be in your head afterall.

When a human is confused about their own mental and emotional state, they are in the worse condition to judge how much they have been disrupted from their usual state of mind.\n\nOutside feedback and analysis is a must if the disruption is so sever that daily routines are abruptly changed or ignored.  Often a close family member can do this, but in the most sever cases a trained professional is required.\n\nYes there are personality types which can easily become dependent upon drugs or therapy or the attention they get by being "mentally ill."  But these are unusual cases.  Most people who have had a recent disruption are not aware that they are acting any differently than they had only a short time before.\n\nThis is not a matter of choice or training or determination.  In most cases, the treatment does not have to continue forever.  A good healer with be able to determine when the treatment can be modified or stopped.

Best thing to do is go see a therapist that can help you with your problems and help you figure out the best way to deal with them so you don't keep hurting yourself.

My advice would be to make an appointment with a therapist (and make sure it's one that is going to actually spend time talking to you, not just prescribe the pills and walk out). Lots of healthy people talk to therapists all the time, even when there's nothing wrong, so you don't have to feel weird about it or anything like that. I still talk to my therapist once a month, even though I'm not really going through depression right now, just because I like to have that lifeline. I like to know that if I do find that I have something important to bring up, I can just call her and set up an appointment. Also, she would be able to tell just from talking to you whether or not you need extra help or medication, and it's hard to diagnose yourself sometimes with these things.
