1. I don't trust ANYONE. Not even my parents. Nobody understands. Nobody WANTS to understand. They don't want it to be their problem. They shrug it off. My parents make up excuses to not have to deal with me, since I'm at the *uncontrolled teen* stage of my life.
2. I cut myself
3. I don't talk to anyone. I'm antisocial, and I seem to hate everyone/everything.
4. I cry for no reason. I'm very sensitive and have gone through a lot of personal pain in my life. (getting raped).
5. My parents's pressure over school is KILLING me
6. I seem to have the need to be PERFECT at all times, and it's driving me CRAZY.
7. I think life is worthless. I think *I'M* worthless. I'm incredibly pessimistic.
8. I want to see a therapist and have had suicidal thoughts.
9. I have a really serious case of OCD.
10. Nobody in school like me. People reject me/ignore me, and never want to talk to me. I have absolutely NO friends. And the people that ARE supposedly my friends, have no trust from me. I believe they're there to just use me and screw me over. I don't consider them anyone towards me.
11. I have no one to talk to. Nobody to spill my feelings onto and have them help me.
There are many more *symptoms*. But I didn't want to make it too long. This is pretty much an outline of what is happening to me. Am I seriously depressed?
Faerie answered Sunday April 15 2007, 3:20 pm: Hey hon,
I did this depression test thing and I know the questions well. The way you get evaluated is if you answer 'yes' to 5 or more of the questions(something like that), you're definitely suffering from depression. To me, it looks like you've answered more than 5 of the questions already..
You can find out more about the test if you google "depression test" and you'll get tons of different kinds.
If you want to be absolutely sure of what your next step should be, consult a counselor or a therapist (doctor) and they can do the chemical depression test thing. Of course, that's more accurate and will help clarify things better.
I hope you'll get through this.
I didn't but .. =) i'm letting time drive my car this time.
justaguy01 answered Sunday April 15 2007, 3:18 pm: yeah sure the people before me are right in all but some of those problems you can fix yourself. Smile stand up for yourself. Listen i have gone through depression and no i dont sit here and try and say i understand cause god damnit i dont. You have to relize there are things to live for in this world. And yeah you say you have no friends and i dont want to get down on you but maybe thats your doing. I know what you are thinking this guy seems to be yelling at me and saying its all my fault. I never said that ok. I am sure a ton of it isnt your fault. And you probobly need to understand that. Things you can control you can control and the things you cant you cant. please stop these thoughts of suicide. Some of my friends have tried doesnt just end your life it ruins others. Essentially you will be just taking your depression and throwing it lots of other people. I know i am jumping around but listen maybe there are no kids i your highschool (i am guessing you are) the maybe a teacher counsler someone that will listen. hey while you read thise last few lines think to yourself one thing that you want to live for and if you cant find any then listen live for yourself not others.
Hey i will definatly listen if you want. my screenname is lokatme321 if you dont have aim or something then just keep asking questions or something. Hey smile. [ justaguy01's advice column | Ask justaguy01 A Question ]
straightup answered Sunday April 15 2007, 3:15 pm: Yes, you are probably depressed. It would almost be unheard of if you were depressed due to these personal experiences. It is O.K. You will go tell your doctor, she will prescribe some medication, and you will feel better. You should see a therapist, or just talk to me whenever you feel badly and I will listen. I want to listen, and I want to help. I'm 19/f and I am optimistic and caring. Life will get better, you just need to start fixing yourself up. You can get the help you need, just see your family doctor and she will help you from there.
message me.
orphans answered Sunday April 15 2007, 3:03 pm: you sound like your in need of a friend, someone that you can talk to. you also sound like you may be suffering from depression, but as im not a doctor i obviously cant tell you that for sure. talk to your doctor and they will try and help you the best they can. untill then you are always welcome to talk to me about anything... i have been through a lot in my life and im a very understanding person.
lbwhite89 answered Sunday April 15 2007, 2:52 pm: You definitely sound like you are suffering from depression to me. You should definitely see a doctor. Therapy and meds may not solve all of your problems...but it will help if you want it to.
