I know how hard it is to see the way out when your being crushed by depression and you have no initiative to do anything. I can only implore you to find someone who deals with depression and/or sucide prevention. You might think contacting a service like that is over dramtic and you only have thoughts and no real intent to do anything so you'll just though it out but that is a mistake. Suicidal thoughts are extremely draining and you don't need to struggle through it on your own. In a large city like Syndey there are many available options for completely anonymous help.

Reaching out like this on this forum is a start, and I kow it can be hard to take the actual action steps to get this properly evaluated and get help that is needed. One of the most evil twists of depression is that it can make people think they are not worth helping and then fight the battle alone, but this is so untrue! You and the people around you all deserve to at least get clarity in this.

It is true that none of us here can tell you for sure if you are depressed or just in a funk or whatever, but a proffessional can. And if it turns out you have a clinical depression, that knowledge in itself can be an empowerment.
