Feelings of depression are not the same as a diagnosis of depression. To find out if you have the latter, you need to see either your family doctor or a therapist.
We have decades of research now that says the most effective method of treating depression is a combination of therapy and medication.
From your description, it sounds like you could use help in some way, so I hope you won’t shy away from therapy. (I wouldn’t work in the field, if I didn’t reckon it helped.”
Excellent luck.
Well I knew a guy for a while who is like you. He didn’t want the help of anyone to overcome his depression so eventually ppl gave up trying to reach him becasue he only wanted to isolate himself. He was really my bf and I loved him. That was a year ago and since that time he has convinced himself that he can’t bear to get close to anyone so he has formed “relationships” online in a chat room that he spends about 12-14 hrs a day in. He even goes to school online. He wasn’t willing to take an active part in getting thru his depression and just convinced himself it is who he is. Now all he has is his laptop and a bunch of fake computer “friends” who are really nothing more than he is: bored and lonely public who are just passing time in a fantasy world. Don’t wait to seek out help. Tell your mom or someone else. Be proactive in making your life better since you won’t get better on your own. You don’t want to be with no real life friends and no opportunities since you’re worried of speaking up, do you? Best of luck.
I am impressed with your writing style but that is beside the top.
I have no interest in providing you with a dissertation or a sermon, so I simply will try to pull a rabbit out of my hat.
Get secretly mad at your situation or the person who makes you feel powerless.
Then remember that you really place yourself up to it and that it was not real.
Neither was your powerlessness.
Isn`t that a hoot?
You`re okay.
Cheers!
Talk to your mom that you need help with understanding why your feelings and outlook on life have changed so much. You do not have to tell her she is one of the factors making you feel down. Parents get busy trying to make ends meet and all that adult material and sometimes miss that their kids are having a problem, or don’t believe you have a problem.
You are probably in your mid teens and going thru many changes physically, emotionally and mentally. This problem is making it worse. Try a teen hotline for advice where to get help. The quicker you get control over it the better. It could be medical, like thyroid, which can ***** up your body systems or psychological, which also can change your entire body.
You have taken a first step, you know there is a problem and are trying to get answers. Now you have to take the next step to get this bunged before it gets worse.
Excellent luck, I am pulling for you. You can beat it.
Seriously? Go lacto-vegetarian. Make sure to get B12 supplements from the store or from prepared soy milk that contains it. I was really depressed and nervous, and I wasn’t getting the help I wanted from psychologists, so I figured I would try changing my diet and see what it did. So I’m still in the experimental phase right now, but I have a feeling that it could help. Also, research “raw foodists” or just “raw food” on YouTube and check that out. It has a lot more to do with diet than public would lead you to believe. Google “B12 deficiency” if you don’t believe me, since depression and anxiety are symptoms of it.
