Suggest Treatment For Depression

i have depression and cannot get an appointment at the doctors till next week and I don't know what to do about work, I don't know if you can ask for a sick note? I would go to work as people think it makes you better but I cannot concentrate and I'm always thinking about things and I'm very nervous n feel funny all the time. I'm 19, 5'2, 12stone. My mother had depression too, her cousin also had it and committed suicide.
