Symptoms of Depression .

Prolonged sadness or unexplained crying spells
"Some nights around midnight, I start crying thinking of how much i dont want to be here anymore. How much i miss my brother, and How much my dad bothers me. And how i feel so alone."

Significant changes in appetite and sleep patterns
"I can never get to sleep, i have such a hard time."

Irritability, anger, worry, agitation, anxiety
"I get mad pretty fast, and I worry over little things. And i think i have anxiety, early in the morning before to school, like about going to school."

Pessimism, indifference

Loss of energy, persistent lethargy
"I dont like many things, most of the time I'd rather just sleep away."


Feelings of guilt, worthlessness

It sounds to me like your depressed thats pretty much how I feel most of the time and I cut and all that stuff but most likely the doctors will give you some happy pills. but from my expreience with cutting I would advise you to not cut I know somethimes you just feel like it but dont do it dont even start even if you dont cut the skin and make it bleed because eventualy your fear will go away and then u wont be able to stop that what happened to me i used to be afraid so i just kinda messed around with it then one day i wasnt afraid to really cut the skin and now i cant stop. so dont stop its a hard habit to break and it doesnt take you to nice places it got me into a mental hospital.

well..it sounds to me like your depressed, but of course if a doctor diagnoses you with it,he can then send you to a shrink and together theyll likely dope you up on happy pills. chances are that your going thru the same depression most teenagers do. try finding a new intrest such as reading, music, or a sport. whatever makes you happy, but i speak from experience if a new fun hobby doesent help and the urge to cut gets stronger and more appealing, please get some medical help. if you cant talk to your dad, talk to a trusted aunt, or even a best friends mom. either way get help, i dident, and now im covered in pretty horrible scars inside and out that will never go away, and unfortunately it does effect your relationships, no one likes to see someone they care about bearing scars of thier own doing. also try to remember that even tho the whole world can seem pretty damn crappy at times, it will only make things worse if you hurt yourself for things you cant change, try to find something, anything to look to for the strength to go on. sappy as it sounds a great sunset all to myself saved me from myself more times than i care to count. there really are awe inspiring things in nature, and on earth, it may be awhile before you find them in people but true beauty is out there if you only look for it. so again i say, if you keep wanting to hurt yourself, please get help. good luck sweety.

Well Honey. I can honestly say I've felt the same way. To keep proffesional I cant really say the details but more or less. You need to find something to keep you occupied. I ride horses, which is a great way of therapy. You should talk to someone about your feeling, maybe a counsilor, family member or a close friend. Talking about how you feel helps a lot. Find out what made you lose interest. Talk about that. You have a lot of life ahead of you, dont do anything stupid and quit slitting your wrists' it's a waste. You're 13 egh? Have you gotton your period yet? That could be the effects of PMS kicking in. PMS makes you very moody, emotional and irritated. It could be that. Try to look on the bright side. Take care.

If you've been like this for a month or so, you might have one. However it's hard and dangerous to diagnose a depression over the internet. If this troubles you, I'd suggest seeing a counseler about it.
Take care.

You most likely have depression. It's common; most teenagers are depressed at least once in their lives.


If you're having suicidal thoughts, talk to your school nurse / school counselor - they can help get everything taken care of. Talk to your mom/dad and get an appointment for a doctor set up. A doctor can easily tell you if you're depressed or not, and if you need to take anti-depressants.


I seriously think you should see a doctor. Now, I hate doctors... I hate going to doctors... but that's going to be best for you. For your mental and physical health.
