My Symptoms Seem to Be Gone. Is It Too Good to Be True? [Depression]?
Question by Quifta: My symptoms seem to be gone. Is it too good to be true? [Depression]?
I have two questions, can you please answer them::
If I’m not sad and my “symptoms” of depression have gone away, does that mean I’ve been making it up the whole time or is it just a phase or what? I am very confused and I’m scared I made up everything because I wanted attention [but I don’t like too much attention! Only when I deserve it. ie. birthdays, good grades, stuff like that].
Also. How do I tell someone I *might* be depressed? I still need to tell my dad, two older sisters and my very good friend [I just feel he should know. He is one of my very good friends]. I don’t want them to freak out, I want them to still think of me as me….or will that change?
Thank you very much.
Google or YA [even ask.com] isn’t coming up with good answers to them! Just the signs and symptoms!
*I have been feeling better over the past few weeks. I haven’t called my mom asking her if I could go home because I wanted to cry very badly. I also haven’t gotten very angry with my family for just trying to say 4 words to me. I’ve seen a counselor 3 times and I’m going again next week.
^just in case you wanted more information.
Thank again! Thank you very very much!
My mom and younger sister, 2 cousins and a 3 girl friends know but thats all.
Also I’ve tried to avoid medication.
I’ve felt like this for about 2 maybe 3 years. My time is always fuzzy.
*sorry for the choppy sentences. I’m a tad bit tired…
I am 16. So hormones play a role…
I had a mentally/ emotionally abusive boyfriend when i started feeling this way.
2 of my uncles had//have it.
I still hope I gave enough information.
