I want to take a depression quiz which will help me to understand which level of depression I'm exactly in. I need help. I can't concentrate anywhere. I'm getting thoughts of hurting myself or running away very often. This is maybe due to too much suffering. I had been hurting myself since 2012. For the last 1 years I didn't hurt myself because of some promise but now everyone around is fed up. I feel insane. I can't sleep at night and I'm lazy all day. I've absurd food habits and I can't stop thinking too deep, maybe over thinking. I can't control my mind or thoughts.
