Am i Depressed?

I was engaging in sexual activities 12 weeks ago. Though a lot of people in HIV forum said it was NEVER A RISK, my mind keep telling me that I am at certain degree of getting infected

These are currently my symptoms:

1. Losing sleep at night (but NO chills or night sweats)
2. Losing appetite and always feel like vomiting when I eat something
3. Dry and itchy skin.
4. Mild pain in neck are (below jaw and back area) but No swollen lymph detected
5. Mild pain (like being hit by a pin) on the arm.
6. Rashes (on the back of the shoulder and thigh)
7. Stomach always produces a hungry sound like.

Is this symptoms are due to my depression? Should I see a Normal physician or Psychiatrist regarding this?

p/s : currently awaiting 3rd blood test result. Both test previously show negative for HIV.

TQ

Sorry to disagree but these symptoms are not depression at all.

You have identified rashes, a pain and stomach problems, none of which relate to either anxiety or depression. This is a physical problem more likely than anything.

Are you eating well? Have you changed your diet? What has changed and how long have you had these problems.

A psychiatrist is not necessary unless a normal doctor diagnoses depression or anxiety. Note that if you tell a GP you are depressed they will likely just believe you.

Try looking up the symptoms of depression and you'll see why I say it is not related.

This is very good news for you I hope.

You might want to have your Dr check you for a stomach ulcer.

Nope, nothing. Just a feeling like going to the toilet, but no purging or what so ever..just a gas come out...
These sound will still be in there even after i finish a plate of rice (to exclude empty stomach symptoms)

Your symptoms sound like anxiety and depression.
How does your stomach feel when it makes the hungry sound? Does it burn or anything?
