Teen depression?
Ok well i think i might be mildly depressed. im 14/f and my mom ius always mad at me for being negative now and in a bd mood. i really dont want to be and wish i was happy but i feel like i just CANT be happy. or at least make myself be happy which she says i can do but i have tred and i really CANT. i feel like im always mad and angry and frusterated and could cry half the time. the thing is its pretty much only at home. at school i have become more negative because i used to be a very positive person but now im just like w/e. i am out going at school and have fun with my friends but at home i am always fighting with my mom and upset and very tired and have a hard time getting things done. i am NEVER motivated to do things at home either. i fight and argue about everything and give major attitude. well i dont want to be like this i know my parents wish i was much better and i wish i could be better but i seriously feel like i cant no matter what. is it possible to only act depressed at home and not with friends? and if i try to tell my mom she will act like im being dumb and just being way over dramatic but she sees how negative and not motivated i am and we have talked about it and she just doesnt get it!!! is there a way i could talk to her about it without her thinking im overreacting? i really want to be happier and better but i feel hopeless! like its impossible and i cant. please help me!!!

You remind me of me when I was getting depression...and sweetie, you have it. I never acted depressed around my friends...(only my best friend knew I was feeling down and stuff...) cause I didn't want people asking me over and over if I was alright and what was going on at home, cause I just didn't want to bug people with it. I felt like all my problems would go away...and I mostly helped my friends problems...
You do have a depression issue...and the good thing is...is that maybe it isn't as bad seeing as you are catching it a bit early...but if you keep getting down, you are going to get severe(sp) depression...which is never fun...just tell your mom that you do have, and you've done research on it (Which you should) and that you want to go talk to someone...a shrink or someone could help you out a lot, and maybe tell you if you need anti depressents...
I know so many people say that they don't help, but they really do. I'm on them now and trust me...you would be shocked if you saw who I was with depression, and then with the meds. And plus, you can always come off them. Of course, finding the right pill takes a while, and only you have to be willing to take them...
If you want my email address, just give me yours in the lil comment thingy...I'll be happy to talk to you more about this...depression is a b*tch...you need to stop it when you can...cause it can really hurt your life...
I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you get better!!!

sometimes when i am felling sad or mad about something i only act this way at home but when im at school all the saddness dissapears and i am smiling and happy. so its not only you, i am definatly like that too! the thing i would try is having upbeat music on, the ones that make you want to dance, talk to your friends while at home like by phone ot IM, AIM MSN whatever. Go outside for a walk and look at the beautyof it. you are kinda young to be feeling this way. also thinking about other peoples problems make you feel better about your self. sit down and think about what you are missing by being this sad. you dont want it to get worse do you? you dont want it to get so bad that your friends will stop hanging around you. try to smile often and think about something funny.
ohhh once i was kinda sad, i went online and looked up wierd things. i saw a website for funny product warnings! it made me laugh so hard!
