Depression
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about depression, or manic depressive disorder, or what not.
I just recently started thinking i might be have depression, or some other mental disorder. After looking it up online, I think I might.
my mom takes medication, but i never knew what for, and when i asked my dad he said it was so she could "cope with life". So i'm pretty sure she has depression. And i was reading that it might be genetic.
Anyways, what i want to know is what do i do about it?
ive always wondered if I should go to a therapist just because i always have trouble dealing with my emotions.
and after looking it up, i think i might be bipolar or depressed.
I dont wanna say anything to my parents, because... i dont know. I guess its just that i'm their "good child" both my brothers are kinda bad, and i'm the ""perfect"" one that gets good grades, and doesnt have problems and things like that.
There really aren't any other adults in my life that i trust. and my friends, well i dont think i would want to tell anyone this really.
so, yea. i'm just not sure what to do. or if i should just ignore it.
i'm not thinking about sucicide or anything. so thats not an issue.
Sorry this is SO long...

It is genetic. My mom has it, now i have it. I'm on anti-depressant. I Hate It! Bipolar, unstable emotions. Do you feel depressed or Just really emotional? Just a hunch, you coul'd be going through puberty, depending on age.

Depression is a chemical inbalance....it's natural to happen to everyone at least once or twice in their lives. It might also have to do with your amount of stress right now. I can tell you a few things that might help. Venting...letting anger out. If something is bothering you, let it out...not in a negative way that can cause more back to you, but in a relieving manner...Like maybe picking up a sport of something extracurricular...ya know?
It can be generic...but you can kick it.
Let me know how it goes.

A counselour/therapist is the best thing for you because they can tell by talking with you if you need any pills for depression or bipolar if your under age to get a therapist your going to have your parents that that you want to see one because he/she can prescrice a prescription for you if you need one....I know you dont want to tell your parents but if you just let everything boil up inside it will make matters worse.....Telling your parents this wont make you the bad daughter if you are depressed that isn't something you can help on your own and its not your fault.....especially if it runs in your family.....your mom should understand if she is on pills for the same cause....But if you really feel like you can't tell them because i know parents can be misunderstanding then maybe you can talk to your school counselor to get some steem of your chest ..... and they dont tell you parents nothing unless your talking about suicide or something to hurt yourself...or if your gettin hurt...well i hope this works let me know if you come up with a solution have a good night
