I don't know. (long)


Question Posted Friday October 6 2006, 10:01 pm

Alright I think I have depression or am bipolar or something. You see, most of the time I am so happy and I just have a positive outlook on life. But other times, like right now, I totally hate myself and think no one likes me, which I know isn't true. But I can't get this feeling of low self confidence away and idk what's causing it. It's stopping me from having fun with my friends, and that even depresses me more, I don't even enjoy going out sometimes because I fell like evryone is so much better than me and doesn't want me around. I have a great life and I just wish I could not be so down all the time. I sometimes start crying for no reason and just am in a really terrible mood, and then I feel like I'm wasting time I could have been happy. I've been trying my hardest to be positive and happy, but more and more often I've just felt really low and don't like doing the things I used to love anymore. And it's probably the reason why all of my friends have boyfriends and I'm not as close with as many people as I used to be. And I'm not just complaining; I really think something's wrong here. I've been considering telling my mom that i think I have depressin and to take me to a doctor but I'm sure she won't understand. She gets mad if I tell her I've had a bad day at school, because she says I have no reason to be sad. I don't even thinks that she thinks depression is real. So what should I do? Tell my mom? And even if I do, how would I bring it up? Thanks so much for your help.

You definitely sound like you're having typical depression, and possibly bipolar symptoms...trust me I know. I recently got help for a personal depression problem, and also have a seriouly depressed/bipolar sister. What you need to do, before the situation gets out of control, is get help. It sounds like you don't have a lot of confidence in your mom, but I think you should start with her, or maybe your dad. If they just don't understand, talk to a school counselor/teacher, friend's parent, or close relative. Depression is serious, and needs attention. Hope I helped.
