I Really Need Some Help About Depression! Please Someone Serious Answer?
Question by Star: I really need some help about depression! Please someone serious answer?
I’m scared and worried and really need help. Someone please help me, I think I might be depressed.
In health we are watching a video about depression and suicide. Even before this I have been thinking I might be depressed. It showed “the warning signs” of depression. Out of them, I had these:
Change in sleep patterns: I can never sleep anymore
Change in eating habits: I’m always eating more, even when i’m not hungry
Anger or irritation: Little things really start to bother me. Usually when a friend annoys me I ignore it. But now even the little things make me want to punch them to make them shut up.
Sadness: I randomly cry. I cry about things like the death of my grandpa I never got the chance to see before he passed away.
Sensitive to failure or criticism: I constantly worry about what people think of me, that they will judge me for the things I do. When I was in softball, I wouldn’t want to go to softball, and would worry all day that I would mess something up at practice.
I’m always stressed. School stresses me the most. I constantly worry about grades and failing.
I can’t concentrate on anything.
I use to really care about school, now I just think of it as the stupid place I have to go everyday. I don’t even care about what use to be a 4.0
But the thing is when it is really bad, it hasn’t lasted long then a week and a half. (10 days)
It doesn’t seem serious. I have no intentions of killing myself. But i’m always feeling down or mad. I don’t get it! Someone please help me.
I’m 14, and i have another question
I can be happy if I really force myself to be. This sadness goes on and off though. One day it is really horrible and I don’t even want to see people, and the next i’m okay enough to pretend to be happy.
The longest i have been “depressed” was a week. Everyone says it is atleast 2 to be really depressed.
I’m 14 years old. By being irritated: I got glasses and my friend kept joking by saying, omg sarah got glasses! But she said it like 10 times. Anyone else would just laugh and not be bothered because they said they were joking. But i felt like punching her.
I’ve been bullied on my bus. They hit me on the head, take my books, pin me to the seat, pull my backpack to the ground. They do it because they think it is funny in a joking way. But i wish they would go die in a hole and leave me alone.
Little things like someone singing an annoying song make me feel like yelling shut the fword up.
I always get really mad at people for little things and blow up at them or atleat want to.
When I was 10 my brothers use to always put me down. Call me an idoit. Tell me I’m stupid. I’d go up in my room and cry and think that if i died they wouldn’t even care. I’ve grown closer to my brothers and no longer hate them. As a younger child i was always sensative and quick to anger. My parents don’t put me down, but my dad is always busy with work. My mom yells a lot, and i know she is there for me, but at times it doesn’t seem like it.

From some things you said , I’m guessing you’re a young teenager. (sorry if I’m wrong). You should definitely go and see your doctor. Yes, it could be depression, but it could also be a hormonal imbalance problem. PMS can turn you for a loop! Only your doctor can tell you for sure. Make an appointment, bring in what you wrote down. It could help them give you a proper diagnosis.
