I'm starting to think i have some form of depression.Here lately I will start crying for praticaly nothing.I try not to cry but then I start to cry even harder and forget every thing good that happend in that day and start thinking baout my life sucking and me hating myself.Im starting to lose self confidence.I've got freinds who have to have anti-depressants for the same reasons im starting to think I need them the only thing is most of the time they go and get advice from people like special docters and stuff.But I dont like telling alot of people about my life it bugs me specially knowing a stranger knows everything about me.I was just woundering if someone could tell me some of the ways you can tell if you are having a depression problem and need to seek a docter to get medication.(sorry for it being long)

Ever since my crush just said she wanted to be friends, i started crying and i knew that i shouldn't have and didn't really smile or laugh for a long time like a month. my best friend had the same thing i was going through. well you can tell if your sad all the time and nothing makes you laugh anymore. i mean well you don't have to seek a doctor, plus having friends that has this is a good thing because you can talk with them about it with them. I'm sorry that i can't answer this so good, this is my first question i answer. i wish you luck that everything will turn out for the best.

If you think you have depression, you probably do. I though the same thing three years ago. I told my family what I thought. They said I was fine. It built up in me for two years. I exploded one day and locked myself in a bathroom. My dad finally got it after that and I he took me to see a doctor. You should go to one, they really help.

lostinside answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 3:05 pm: It seems like you could be depressed. I know how you feel, it's a really sucky feeling. I would try talking to your parents about it. Maybe if you just talked to someone about your problems it would make you feel better. Not necessarily a counselor, but a close friend or something. If you continue to feel like this I would go to the doctor's and see what they have to say...
mn731 answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 12:04 am: I used to think I was depressed too..but i was too embaressed to tell anyone so I just kept it inside of me and stayed strong because I knew I could get through it. If this is really serious, then yeah, you should tell a parent or doctor or something and get help..or maybe talk to a counselor...hoped that helped..please rate..>:-) [ mn731's advice column | Ask mn731 A Question ]
