Do i Need help from a doctor?depression or not?

i think i suffer from depression but at the same time i dont think is any "normal" depression becuase i dont feel sad, at least not anymore. im 17 and i started having suicidal thought at the age of13-14. i used to think about it like 2-3 times a week, when i was 15-16 i started thinking more and more about it and became self-harming. i never got help from a doctor, but i did stop help harming(cutting) thanks to a friend who made me feel like i matter. even though i didnt self-harm anymore i still had thought of suicided. like planning on what,when, where i was gonna do it. May of last year one of my friends committed suicide and that was the door being open for me to actually go through it. once i turned 17 i stopped thinking about suicide and decided that i needed to take care of myself because i was gonna live and not kill myself. even though i still think about suicide everyonce in a while, i try to stop myself from thinking that. For the pass 3 months or ive been having

problems sleeping. And now i look like a crack addict with really dark circles around my eyesand i dont know what to do to help myself anymore. i dont like looking like this because that just makes me even more self-conciouse, and have even more less self-esteem.

you may have clinical depression, or major depressive disorder, go to a doctor and get stablized on meds. helps alot :)

What helps me not to get depressed is that I don't care what people think of me any more. I'm 36, and I used to be self-conscious about 3 years ago. I finally realized that everything was in my head. Now I just want to impress myself. Now I set a goal for myself to go to school. I feel good about it. I know I have some old friends who are accomplished already and that's good for them. I got to focus on my wants and desires. By happiness is different from their happiness.
Besides, being in the dumps is good to know because I know what it is like to be there. Now I can start fresh and new on my own terms to look something forward to. And when I'm finished, I'll start another goal. I have to have desire and hope. That's what's holding me up.
