Do you think I'm depressed?
Hello,Just like you I used to have crushes on many girls which distracted me from what's really important in life. Life is not only about love . It's much more than that. As a student nothing is more important to us other than our career. And in 21st century everyone wants their partner to be financially independent. And that's only possible when you have a degree or some qualifications.So stop thinking about anything that distracts you from studies. Put away your phone aside. Focus on your studies. Create some short term goals and try to achieve them. And you can always ask your close friends or close family member to help you achieve them.But make sure your goals include loving yourself first and not your crush.We are all unique with different characteristics and that's what makes us different from others. Use these characteristics to feel good about you amd if someone does not value with what gift you are giving then it's their problem and not yours. So the first and the last thing to do in a day is to go to mirror and speak good about yourself instead of taking a mirror selfie.Talk to mirror about your goals( I know it sounds totally crazy and insane, but trust me it really works).And just go out and achieve them!And at last,Best of luck for your exams. Do well.Hope this helps!
Do you think i am depressed?
Hey girl!!!!! Wake up sweetie, you have to live for your friends that are not here anymore. They wouldnt want to see you like this, they would want to see you happy thats why they were your friends because they loved you right? Come on its time to get on your knees and talk to your friends and to the lord. Tell them you love them and that you'll get better for them. I have been through alot to be only 19 I have depression panic disorder with agoraphobia and low self esteem also I have had 2 friends to get shot in the head and are now dead, and one friend is in jail for attempted murder. Baby girl your life has to go on. Dont let this get you down let it make you stronger.
I think I'm depressed?
I know I can't be diagnosed on here id just like to hear your thoughts. I know I'm very young but I just want somewhere to vent on. Im 14 , and I have social anxiety. I've never been diagnosed with depression but recently I've hit rockbottom. I have friends but none of them really could be classed as a true friend, they all make me feel bad and I always feel like they don't even like me. I don't sleep at night and when I do I have nightmares , I don't particularly like myself or how I look and I can't help but feel like I'm a waste of space. I've never felt like killing myself but I've felt like I wouldn't care it ended. I constantly feel like I'm going to be sick and I went from never crying to crying at everything possible. I'm just so unhappy and I don't know what to do anymore, I don't feel like I have anyone and I just don't know how much more I can take:( I don't think my lol will take me seriously , I just hate be in me. I feel stupid for being sad.
I am 14 and i think im depressed?
Please dont leave any bad comments - i am purely looking for advice and experiences! i am 14 years old, but i am not sure if i am depressed. can a 14 year old become depressed? The fact is, my dad was diagnosed with severe depression - he was off work for over a year and he is on all sorts of tablets. I constantly have mood swings like my dad, and im not sure if his mood swings have rubbed off on me. when i was 11, my violin teacher died and 2 weeks after, one of my friends died, and since then i became a bit 'messed up'. I was answering teachers back, and my work standard reached rock - bottom. Last year, my friend told me she had been self harming, and that added to the stress and worry. i couldnt cope with it all. another friend then announced she was anorexic, and i couldnt bear it anymore, so i went to my school nurse and told her everything. she said she would check up on my 'mental baggage' every week, but now i have moved school. She is still the school nurse because my new school is in the same area, but i cant find a way of contacting her. I desperately want to talk to someone, and i know i cant tell my friends because that wouldn't be fair, as i know what it is like to have that weight placed on you. my parents don't know about this, but they do know about the incident with my friends. i don't know how to tell them how i'm feeling and im afraid what they'll say. This has been really hard for me to write, so please don't nock me back any further. Thanks. xxx
I'm 12 and think I'm depressed? What should I do? I hate being like this...?
You dear thing. I can truly sympathise with you. I remember going through similar things when I was your age. But you will be able to survive these things. Don't be too hard on your friend who told the counsellor. That was real proof that they cared about you and wanted to help. Can you get yourself to a doctor and tell them how you feel? Maybe then the doctor can explain to your parents what is wrong. Depression can make everything in life seem horrible but it is an illness like diabetes or the flu. You just have to treat it properly. It can happen to people who seem to have everything going for them so don't tell yourself off for the way you feel. Look at all the good in yourself and ignore the people who try to make fun of you and all the bitchy girls. I know that sounds hard to do, but they only do it to get a reaction If you do not react they will get bored and it will lessen. Try to throw yourself into your studies. That is probably the last thing you want to hear, but if you improve your study habits you will improve your grades and that will give you more self esteem. More self esteem can help fight depression. It will give you something to think about other than all the bullies. Try to get back together with the "friend who ratted you out". They proved they cared about you because they went to someone they thought could help more than they could. After all they are only your age too aren't they. If you don't know what to do they wouldn't either. You need adult help. I hope you can get it quickly. You may need it for quite a while. I have depression problems and know the ups and downs one can go through with it. But with professional help you can overcome it.
My teacher thinks i am depressed?
the counselors are WAYYYY crazy. all of 'em. My counselor once thought that I *MADE* my cat scratch me because I enjoyed pain. I was like, "er, no? i picked him up and he didn't want to go to the vet....." It's pretty mental, but just keep sticking to your story, and eventually they'll find a REAL nutcase to harp on. Haha.
My parents think I'm depressed! What should I do?
My parents think that I'm depressed. They keep asking me if I ever feel depressed, or if I ever feel happy. They even asked my sister if I ever seem 'depressed' at school, or when I'm with my friends. I'm not happy ALL the time, but I'm definitely not sad all the time, either. In my opinion, they're just mistaking my moodiness for depression. I mean, it's not like I sit alone all day in my room, thinking about how meaningless life is. I just don't know what to do. My parents are now asking me, 'Would you know if you were depressed?' Everytime they bring it up, I just get upset and angry that they'd even ask that. To make matters worse, my sister is now agreeing with my parents, but I think she's only doing it to mess with me. Anyways, is there anything I can do to assure them that I'm NOT depressed? I would really appreciate any feedback.
I think I'm depressed but I don't know if I am. How can I tell?
If you feel like not wanting to do anything, not wanting to eat or over eating... have been feeling this way more than 2 weeks... You need to be seen immediately if you are having suicidal thoughts... go to your emergency room. They can help you. OTHERWISE, call your family doctor and make a list of the way you have been feeling.1. How long has this been going on2. What caused you to feel this way3. Do you have a lack of energy4. Are you eating or over eating5. When did you notice this6. Are you having any thoughts of hurting your self or others7. Are you able to clean your home8. Are you able to care for yourself... i.e. take showers, personal hygiene 9. Are you caring for a child or someone else? Have you been neglecting them10. Have you lost interest in social activities 11. Are you skipping appointments, or going to work 12. Are you hearing voices or seeing thing things that aren't that others can't see13. Do you have a plan to harm yourself or someone elseIf you answered yes to most of all of these... see a doctor IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise call your family doctor.
I think im depressed? thinking about suicide..?
im a 14 y/o girl. i recently found out my father does drugs and is an alcholic (wont admit it) i have tried to disconnect all communication with him. most would say i should keep in touch because he is my father and stuff.. but he makes me wanna just kill myself. its for the better for myself, i get migranes and headaches and feel sick to my stomach talking to him or about him. then i have been having recent problems with my health. my knee caps are dislocated, i have bursitis in my hips, and cant even sit up or stand up without feeling dizzy. im am very disoriented, dizzy, lots of pressure in my forehead, and have naseau, and a bit confused. i am taking advil every 4 hours (directed by doctor) and amitriptytine for headache and migrane prevention. i cant figure anything out, cant concentrate. idk what is wrong with me! the other night i felt like killing myself, idk what made me stop, but i didnt kill myself. i already cut myself. please do not recommend a therapist, i have no interest and would rather kill myself. i have no interest in my friends, dont care what happens. which i have always have my friends use to come over everyday. now it seems all doctors appts after school and i dont even care, i have no interest in my friends at all anymore. just i need help, not from a therapist tho. i also havent been sleeping between the pain and just thinking but also feeling the need to go to sleep extremely early. like 7,8,9 pm whereas before all this i would be going to sleep at 11,12,1, or even 2.
