...See more Hi all I have reason to believe I've suffered from fairly frequent bouts of depression in the last couple of years, following on from some spells of depression for a number of years before that.  A particularly bad period 6 years ago resulted in me making a major life change by quitting a job that made me miserable and going to university I'd been feeling pretty bad all throughout 2015 so far, culminating in a period a couple of weeks ago where I felt so bad I finally gave in and phoned the GP, but as I didn't feel it was an emergency and wanted to minimise trouble with work, I couldn't get an appointment at the time I wanted for another 2 weeks.  in those 2 weeks I have since gone from uber depressed to emotionally numb to wanting to cry for no reason and back to numb again.  I've not been feeling too bad for a couple of days, though my situation hasn't even improved from how it was 2 weeks ago, so I am not sure what's going on with my brain!  Tthe appointment is tomorrow afternoon and I am worried about whether I'll be wasted their time or not.  I feel that I could have a depressive incident at any time, particularly at the time of the month and the next time I fail a job interview or recall a distressing incident from my past.  Yet as I said, I feel ok at the moment.  I don't want to waste the GP's time if I'm "over" it but I think it's entirely possible that I'm not as it's only been a few days.  Should I still go?
