Depressions
15/f. Since probably elementary school, I've had "depressed" periods and overly happy periods. I feel a depression coming on. They usually come after a happy period. I usually get one when I feel like my friends don't like me or I just feel like people don't like me in general, or when I feel like my parents nag me too much, or even not being in a musical or performance for a while can do it. Little things can trigger it. Is there something wrong with me? Can I do anything to make it milder? I hate feeling this way.

Eh, you're 15. We're teenagers which always always ALWAYS equals in emotional bitches. Haha, cruel but true.
Outside influences seem to have a lot of effect on us and it pretty much sucks. Just listen to music you like..not necessarily music that sounds all happy and crap. It could be Trivium for petes sake. haha. Just listen to music you like and you can sing like a moron to. Write down whatever you're feeling...draw, kcik a ball, punch your pillow. Haha or just cry it out. I know, trite, but it works.
Also when you're feeling down, think of happy thoughts =]
ps. music I listen to that kinda cheers me up are headfirst for halos , i'm not okay, famous last words, all by mcr

Being 15, all on it's own, is stressfull and an emotional rollercoaster.
It helps greatly to have someone to speak to about how you are feeling. Sometimes it's hard to go to our parents with what is going on because we fear they may not understand, and we fear thier reaction to what we have to say. But it's important to try. If you truly feel that you can not go to your parents though, you should seek out a willing to listen person. Perhaps a school councilor, a friend, or another relative.
If you feel it is beyond something you can handle or cope with on your own any longer and it is effecting you in ways that you find frightening or highly uncomfortable, than letting your parents know is definatly something you should do. The thought of speaking to our family Dr. or a Therapist about our feelings can be scary, but very helpful.
You may find the answers to many of your questions and be glad you asked for help.

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I think you do have depression, from what I can tell by your description, I see some symptons there. I recommend going to a doctor, and getting diagnosed. Explaing your symptons, etc. And he/she can tell you if you do have depression, for sure. If you do, he/she will put you on medication.
My mother has depression, and she was diagnosed and put on medication. And she's better than she's ever been in her life. So I do have some personal experience with this, as far as my mother. So I do strongly recommend, going to a doctor. And again, please don't think there's something wrong with you. Depression is very common, and your situation, so you're not alone.
I have some websites for you on depression, maybe you can see if you have all of the symptoms. And learn more about it.
