How to i broach the subject of depression with my doctor? im scared that describing my symptoms will make me sound like im faking

Part of the issue: Knowing you are struggling is the first step in moving toward treatment & recovery. You won't know what others feel until you reveal your problems. If the first encounter is rebuffed, find a new doc. They should at least make sure to evaluate conditions that can trigger depressive symptoms before referring you for care by others.
