I am 18 years old and I have been showing symptoms of depression since two weeks, I have not visited any doctors or told anyone but my friends. I feel lost, my thoughts control me. They are real human beings according to me and I am frustrated by it. I try very hard to control them but nothing seems to work. This pandemic got me all lonely and stresses. What can I do to prevent self harm?

Hello lybrate-user, the negative thoughts dwelling in such a situation are something everybody is facing, be it in high intensity or low. As you described in your condition, I would like to know more about your symptoms. As sometimes thoughts could be deceptive and could be your imagination. For now to prevent any self harm :try and pen down your triggers. Avoid them when possible through diverting yourself to some activity. Include activities that soothe you like cooking, painting, cleaning, writing, and reading. Meanwhile try to talk to some friends on a video call or probably. Drink lots of water as well. For further consultation you can make an appointment. Regards and good health to you :)
