What is wrong with me?
For the past few months, I've been feeling sad very often. I'm 15, female, and I guess I feel sort of alone. I constantly think about death, how I don't have many good friends, and how I don't have anything I really need to be happy.
I'm also on a diet, I've lost 20 pounds, because I think I need to be skinnier.
I guess what I'm asking is, am I depressed? And do I need some sort of help? My mom knows how I feel and she is always lecturing me about it. I just want to know what I can do to not feel this way.

Honey it's very hard for me to tell you if you are clinically depressed or not there are so many different variations of depression thinking about death at your is ok it's normal we all are going through alot of things at that age but if you are actually contemplating on how to do it and stuff then there is a problem I think you should go to your family doctor and talk to him and even if you are not clinically depressed you still need to talk to someone before the feelings you are feeling actually do become a lot worse I have gone through the whole depression stage over things in my life so I know how you feel and you losing 20 pounds is great you should be very proud of yourself I hope all this helps you if you need anymore advice just ask <3 heather

i think you should go to a therapist just to make sure you dont have depression or borderline personality disorder ♥

well its probably a phase; we all feel like that sometimes. and i think your diet might have something to do with it. how can you be happy if your hungry as hell rite? lol well ne way i think you should maybe easy on up on that diet, still eat healthy and stuff just dont be overboard. also i think exercise cures depression. go out to play sports, basketball and wrestling are my favorites. or just got for a walk if your not hardcore on bball or wreslting lol. and listen to happy music that always helps. and try to make friends. i know its hard to do but find 1 or 2 person that have friend potential and just be like hey lets go watch a movie. sometimes just geting out helps.

Don't listen to the person that said your suicidal, because you are NOT.
You're just a little down.
We all get this way during our teenage years.
I get like that a lot.
This is most likely just a phase.
I think in the near future, you will grow out of it, most likely in a month, or less than that.
Be happy sweetie, things will turn out fine. :]
If you don't change, then i would advise going to a doctor, but it's not worth going on pill for being depressed, they probably don't even work.

I think your suicidal. Go to a doctor or something or maybe its' a faise possibly. If you continue to feel this way instead of going to people you don't know tell a guidance councilor or your parents and find help.

I would try to find something I was really interested in and focus all of my time and energy on that.
PS-I am sure you are a very pretty girl:)

dont worry everyone has a time when they start feeling depressed and not know why ive been there. what is it you are missing?could you be worried about death because of religion?are you studying your religion good enough?when you get closer to god god gets closer to you?learn more about your religion and when your done learn about other religions to increase your knowledge(islam,jewish,christianity) cuz when you do you wont be afraid of death.....or mabey the reason your depressed is that you dont have a boyfreind.....could that be it?have you been through a breakup with a guy?are there past things that still haunt you know?ask yourself these questions.if its something bout the past you have to let it go to have a future but you need to open up to your mom if theres something thats bothering you bout the past you have to tell your mom.dont worry about having a lot of friends you know i only got to meet my REAL best freinds last year and im 15 here.mabey youll meet them later on...till then be freindly and everyonell want to know you....or are you mad cuz your over weight...dont worry bout that im overweight too and im struggling thru a diet your not the only one!what you need is a lil more confidence and realiz that youre beautiful in your own way......look at me i mean im overweight a lil and i have confidence(big time) anyways NO i dont think youre depressed your just going thru a ruff time but life aint always the way you expect it to be it has good days and bad days and trust me without the bad days we wouldnt be able to appreciate the good days,

well it sounds like depression and i have some possible sollutions.reading is somthing you can do i know pepl say reading is boring but if you find the right book youll never want to put it down.books are kinda like a private friend which is good for a depressed person.also let yourself go.do something fun and free that you enjoy.and its also great if you do something fun youv never done before.also joining activities in your community is a great way to not feel alone.and one last thing the worst thing you can do when in depression is sit in the house and basically mope about how your deprresed.GET OUT OF THE HOUSE and enjoy life while your young.hope this helps!tweety

I think you are showing signs of being depressed. I know you don't need another lecture. Just do things that make you feel happy and let your mind wander away from these things. Meet some more people who are what you would like to be. Hope you feel better soon!

I and many others have been through the exact same thing. Depression really SUCKS! Mine lasted about 6 months to a year and most people go through a couple in their lives, so don't think you are alone.
Two things that help depression are walking and getting out of the house. A simple walk around the block can be freeing and relaxing.
Try hanging out with friends. I don't advise getting into a relationship with any guys though because a breakup could cause a relapse if it happens too soon.
You can also try meds but take caution and read about side effects. Wellbutrin is supposedly great and has very, very minimal side effects. The only one I know of off the top of my head is increased sexual satisfaction. So that's definantly a bonus.
Good luck, message me again if you need anything.

I think that you might be depressed.
How tall were you, how old are you, and how much did you weigh before you lost 20 pounds? I can figure out if you were actually overweight and wanted to get healthier, or this could also be a sign of depression. Choosing to lose weight is something that you can control, sometimes we can't control our emotions. Maybe if losing weight is the only option for you, you really have no other choice on what to do when you're feeling depressed. You're probably telling yourself that you need to lose weight because you feel fat and unneeded in this world. I'm not saying that you are fat and unneeded, but I'm just telling you that thats what you've probably been thinking.
You probably need to go see a therapist or a psychiatrist. I'm sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear, but you need to see someone about your problems. You can't keep them bottled up inside you, this will only make it worse. If your mom isn't doing anything about it, maybe she doesn't fully understand what you were going through. Depression didn't really cross anyone's minds when she was 15.
Talk to a counselor or try talking to your Mom. Tell your Mom that you might have depression and you really want to see someone about it. If she still neglects you, then call a hotline, like Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance [DBSA], the number is 1-800-843-7274.
Good luck, hun. All of the best.

ok listen i had the same thing it turned out i had an anxiety disorder and i was depresses and i was on the verge of anorexia GET HELP!!! if i didnt i dont know where id be today

Ok,....You may just be depressed. The only thing you need to be happy is yourself and God. Start praying about how you feel and ask for help. Prayer changes a lot of things. I promise. Love yourself. Your special. God made you the way you are for a reason. Be yourself and find out what your interests are and then get involved.
If you need someone to talk to IM me.
