Is it depression?
I think I have depression. I'm crying right now, and I'm not even sure why. I've been thinking about dea and searching on the internet for ways to commit suicide just now. I feel as though my life isn't worth living, I'm getting worse at school and I'm not going to ever get a job or get married because I'm worthless. I've always been shy but instead of acting upset and stuff in front of people I try to act happy so they don't notice that I feel so low, but it hurts, I feel as though they don't care even though they probably have no idea. I can't tell them, my friends are immature and just wouldn't understand. I feel as though everything's my fault, and like I'm the worst person in the world. I keep taking my anger out on my dad, I don't want to but sometimes I really can't help it; he was staring at me today and I just started yelling at him, it's like I've gone mad because I never used to shout at all. I don't ever go out anymore and I find chatting and going out boring and pointless. I can't ever concentrate on things for long; even television and chatting to people. I've got into a sleeping pattern a few months ago where every day, I can't sleep until at least 2:30AM, even on schoolnights, and then I go to bed because I'm so tired when I get home from school, and my parents won't let me have time off school to get into a normal pattern again. I've also been thinking about self-harm, I don't do that yet because I'm not sure how to, but I'm going to find out because I have nothing better to do. PS I've been feeling like this for about 4 months now, and no-one has noticed how I feel :| I'm really sorry this is so long but I need help.

No one can know how you feel if you don't tell them. If you can't tell your friends, what about your father?
Or ask to have an appointment made with your normal doctor - you can choose how much to tell your father about why you want the appointment. Your doctor will be able to give you more information about your options.
You don't have to feel this way.
It's normal to feel mentally distressed at points throughout life, but if you can manage to pull yourself out of the depression long enough to tell one person how you feel, you've started on the road to recovery. Your friends don't have to know, though you can start opening up to them about less important things.
You don't have to be the funny one or the happy one in order to be loved. Your doctor can help you figure out the best way to manage how you're feeling right now, and if you speak to him/her chances are you'll start feeling better a lot more quickly than if you wait for this to go away by itself - and with less bad feelings and chance of self-harm.
Be strong for yourself, and admit where you are weak. It takes a brave person to be vulnerable. Best of luck.

you know what, i was the same exact way as you are right now, i was like this maybe 11 prolly more months ago, i was like that for 4 years for reasons i'm not going into. but i used to tell myself that i was worthless and will never get married, and i'd cry for no reason and stuff all the time. but i never cut myself, please don't do self-mutliation. whats best to do is what i never did until i got a boyfriend...tell people...your dad, your mom if you have sisters or brothers tell them, tell someone, get a counsler or something. i really hope i've helped you, i'll pray for you. don't think no-one notices, because someone always does, it took me forever to relize this, but like i said, i was the same exact way you are right now.

you need serious help, the last thing we need is another person dead. i think that you need to talk to your parents about this and maybe they might get some "happy pills" so that maybe you won't be feeling like this anymore. hope i helped.

Wow. It is really hard to explain stuff on the computer, i know i am a complete stranger and everything but i would like to talk to you on the phone to better explain myself. This is a big thing to deal with and i have gone through stuff like this before and know what it feels like. The first step to getting help is looking for it. You are on the right path to seeking help.
I would like to talk to you more about this but maybe on the phone depending what state you live in cause long distance does cost a lot or maybe even talk to you on instent messanger.
please email me or something i would love to help you .

I'm afraid to say that it does sound like you are suffering from depression. It is a common disease that affects a lot of people. Since you've been feeling like this for so long- you definitely have to get help for it, because it seems to be recurrent not just a single episode.
I know that this sounds like something you've heard a lot of times- but hurting yourself is not the way to go. I have hurt myself because of my depression and any way that you try to get rid of the mental pain by physical means, if anything takes away the good and few things that you enjoy in your life. That is why a lot of depressed people do a lot of drugs, drink, and engage in behavior that you usually wouldn't do. If you really feel like you're going to hurt yourself or someone else, you need to go to the hospital ER, so that they can keep you safe. They'll give you a place to rest and just make sure that you can talk to someone and get some help. You can also call the national suicide hotline at: 1800273TALK.
You need to talk to a counselor or your doctor about how you are feeling. If anything they can direct you to someone that can get you some help. Your doctor may help you by starting you on some anti-depression medication and get you some counseling. Your doctor will keep whatever you say to him/her confidential and is only there for your best interest.
Depression is a real disease that can be treated, you made the first step with acknowledging that you may have it, now you need to get the help that you really need.
If you need anything don't hesitate to email/ask/IM.
Best of luck,
