Hi, Im new to using forums so pls forgive me if i don't have the correct forum etiquette.

Im hoping to get a little advice as i'm at the end of my teather. Im 29 and am 90% sure im depressed. I feel like I have had a full melt down this morning. Over the last few months I keep having very severe mood changes and have become more and more aggressive inc towards my partner - I hate it. Arguments (even over little things) have turned into me smashing things and i hit myself as i feel so fustrated, down and pesamistic about everything in my life - even though deep down I know I have nothing to be down about.

I haven't been diagnosed but need some advice as to how i do this? I have tried going to the docs and telling them I feel down all the time and that I can't cope with it any longer but as my Gran has hypothyroidism, they just sent me for a blood test - which came back 'satisfactory' now i don't know how to approach them and be taken seriously.

I just don't know where to start, all I know is that I can't go on like this its affecting everything in my life including work as I can't concentrate.

Any advice at all would be very gratefully received. Thank you in advance.
