I am very sure I have clinical depression?!
Question: But, I never went to see my doctor, and now when I feel life is unbearable, he's off for a 2 week vacation. Any ideas on how to relieve stress, or anything I can do so I don't go crazy before he comes back?

Try to exercise, eat well, sleep enough but don't oversleep, no alcohol, and try to stay away from things which feed a depressive mood - like depressive music, highly stressful situations, and critical friends/family. Try to engage in activities you enjoy. Take time for yourself.
I know it may be hard to do those things. Its ok if you don't do them perfectly, just try. Doing a little is better than doing nothing.
If you begin to feel suicidal, go to the ER or at least call a suicide hotline for help.
It's the same with me.
1. You don't need a doctor
2. This wont last, so be relieved
3. Don't worry, because the fear of thinking you have to fear something triples the effect, in better words, stay calm.
4. I hope you will start to understand that you might be going through a transformational period in which you have to go THROUGH instead of RUNNING away from it
Hope I could put your mind at ease.
u cant diagnose yourself with clinincal depression!! Clinical depression progresses over years of normal depression so unless u have been depressed for a very long time its not clinical depression!!!!! People way too who get a little bit depressed straight away say I have clinical depression. Do u even know what clinical depression is
